India and Pakistan cricket matches are always super exciting. Last
week, in the tri-nation series, it was India who were termed as favourites.
When India and Pakistan first played against each other in this series,
Pakistan was thrashed by India.
But what a comeback our cricketers made!
In an unexpected twist, Pakistan won the series and two men who deserve
credit were Salman Butt and Younus Khan.
Both of them hammered centuries against India. Salman retired hurt
on 129 and Younus scored 108 which led Pakistan to a massive total
of 315 runs.
Indian cricketers, hot on the heels of Indian Premier League were
the favourites while Pakistani cricket team has been plagued with
a series of problems, the latest being a ban on Shoaib Akhtar and
arrest of Mohammed Asif in UAE.
But despite these issues, the entire team, especially Salman and Younus
delivered at a time when Pakistan desperately needed a win.
So for putting up such fantastic performances and making Pakistan
proud, Salman Butt and Younus Khan are Instep's hotsteppers of the
week! |
