New Delhi. These days, India and Pakistan Cricket Board are face to face regarding the Champions Trophy. The Indian Cricket Board has refused to send its team to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025. Angered by this, Pakistan Cricket Board is now in the shelter of ICC. Now time will tell when the next match between these two teams will take place. But it is certain that whenever it happens, it will be tremendous. History is witness to the fact that whenever both the teams have clashed, it has been an exciting match and many stories have emerged from it. Sunil Gavaskar narrated a similar story about Javed Miandad, in which the Pakistani batsman had compared Indian bowling to a dog.
Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar narrated this anecdote of Javed Miandad in ‘Comedy Nights with Kapil’. Gavaskar came to this program with Virender Sehwag. Show judge Navjot Singh Sidhu also supported him. During this, Gavaskar narrated an incident from the Bengaluru Test match, in which Javed Miandad was batting. However, Gavaskar did not reveal the name of the player who was bowling at that time.

Miandad knew how to take a psychological edge
Sunil Gavaskar told, ‘Javed Miandad was batting. He was a very clever batsman and knew how to take a psychological edge over the opposing team. In that match, an excellent spinner returned to the Indian team. The pitch was getting turn and Miandad knew that if this spinner got the line-length, he could trouble the whole of Pakistan. When the Indian spinner did not get a wicket for some time, he started bowling over the wicket instead of round the wicket.
Javed Miandad suddenly started shouting
The real story of the story narrated by Sunil Gavaskar now comes to light. Sunny says, ‘Miandad tried to sweep and drive, but the ball was going into the hands of the fielder. Runs were not being scored. Troubled by this, Javed decided that he would no longer play with the bat. Will simply stop the ball from the pad. He stopped two-three balls with his pads. After this suddenly he started making ‘bho-bho’ sounds. Every time after playing the next two-three balls he would make a ‘bho-bho’ sound. On this our keeper Kirmani asked me – What is this Riya? I replied- Javed has started it. He will end it.
The umpire asked- what is happening
Sunil Gavaskar said that this matter ended quickly because even the umpires were getting troubled by this action of Javed. After the over was over, the umpire went to Javed and asked what he was doing. What is this bho-bho? On this Javed said that what should I do if I don’t do it? Has held my leg like a dog. Don’t ask me to bowl here (in front)…’ Indian legend said that with this, Javed Miandad’s story ended.
