My favorite player. I still remember the days I used to bunk my school to watch Azhar's batting. Definitely, the most stylish batsman. Infact, am a mad fan of him and I couldn't watch cricket from the time of his exit till the 2003 WC final..Bhai..Your batting is unique..
Azharuddin was unstoppable in this series. This innings was followed by 52 and matchwinning 163 not out at kanpur. He was the man of the match and man of the series.
Azahar's batting was like an artist making a beautiful painting using his brush. Elegant , stylish yet a quick scoring batsman. My favourite batsman. If u keep the match fixing scandal aside as a batsman he was just class. I felt very sad the way his beautiful cricketing career ended. He was on his way to become an all time great.
@@mtahaskshoeb2006 He could have played till 40 . He was very fit and was scoring good runs that time (1998-2000) when he was banned. Moreover he would not have lost his credibility, prestige , accolades and those huge numbers of fans that he had earned over 15-16 years of his playing career. ☹️
A 75 ball hundred nowadays seems to be a common phenomenon due to the advent of T20s. But in the 90's was something a very rare achivement! Nevertheless Azhar was an able artist with bat n his fielding..
plus the quality of bowlers have also gone down nowadays.... current bowlers can't be ever match with the quality and skills that bowlers of 90's and early 2000's era has possessed....
My all time fav player. I still remember his dynamic fielding and ball throwing skills. Apart from his wrist drivers. Lost his career and respect bcz of xyz reasons but still I feel he is the best in the class.
'Who needs Gazza when we've got Azhar' still my favourite cricketing banner of all time, '99 world cup in England I think. Loved that flashing blade of Azhar's, a really classy and fluent strokemaker, bit of an Indian KP? First saw him in the 1990 test series against England and he didn't half give it some welly. That drive that knocked over the beer cans on the advertising board still tickles me! Something very modern about his destructive ability to change the tempo of a match, think he'd have done well for himself in the modern era
Tea-Chai hai zindagi exactly. I don't know why ppl keep calling these 90's matches golden days. It was great for us as kids before job and responsibilities but India was a horrible team back then.
Kid Zoom It is Golden because it is nostalgic now watching those matches for 80s born. Cricket wasn't commercialised so much then, and it was pure fun.

@@prashanthreddy8289 thanks for reply. I very much likes your comments about your first and last hero Azharuddin.azharuddiin scored 4 high class test match century against powerful south Africa fast bowling team.
@raj bindra sir. azharuddin came to pitch India were 78 for 3 nov 28 1996 Thursday after tea time.and Azharuddin faced 13 ball s and scored 6 runs. Azharuddin was injured while facing Brian MacMillan. And left the crease after that he didn't played nov 28 .and Nov 29 1996 Friday morning Azharuddin came to pitch after Srinath wicket fallen . that's time India sturgling 161 for 7 wickets.so that I am mentioning in comments.
This was the time when the trend of the batsman was to score 36 run from 79 balls or 55 runs from 113 balls Azharuddin was worlds first batsman who scored a dashing 100 run in 64 balls which was a fastest 100 record for so many years and he was the first Cricketer to score 9000 runs during his time
Faraz Akhtar ha Bhai helicopter hi tha... Aise stroke pehle bhi khelte the par aaj ke bewakoof logo ko pata nahi hain... Aur kehte hain ki Dhoni ne banaya ye stroke.... Azhar Aur Sachin bhi aise stroke khelte the
Azhar is a Wristy Player you can find the same kind of shots by VVS Laxman, almost similar. Both of them are stylish Batsmen. But Rahul Dravid is a class when it comes to Style, also Sachin, both of them has their own Class. We can see a mixture of Dravid and Sachin when Virat Kohli is Batting. He is a mixture of both of them along with a bit of Glance of Azhar. India has produced some of the most Stylish Batsmen in the History of World Cricket.
Azhar Bhai was a sheer magician. He had entertained all his fans like us all over the world through his magical craft, style, and elegance. I Never feel bored while watching and enjoying his batting over and over again. There might be many great player in future, But there will never be another stylish entertainer like Mohammad Azharuddin.❤️
When I stared watching cricket, Azhar was the Indian captain. I've seen some scintillating knocks by him. Every time he came to the crease, it felt he would carry the hopes of India across the line. Sadly, his team only had a few good match winners. He was the best fielder in the world at that time, never seen him miss the wickets on a throw. He was a true professional. I don't know if the match fixing thing is right or wrong, nothing has been proved. He truly is an Indian cricketing icon.
As a kid from 80s every time i goto play with my fellow kids in my mind I was the Azar. Used to copy his dressing style, his walk on the field and his batting style. He was an inspiration!
He was my favorite cricketer and i watched most of his innings live, earlier he was a slow player but suddenly he started hitting , his running between the wicket style was unique , he was very quick as well as slow too , he runs according to shot pace and fielders approach . His fielding was outstanding . but some times he throw his wicket very casually . his batting style still unmatched . except Lara and VVS Laxman no one is close to him when talk about wrist game.
Azhar was a fine batsman!! He was a sensation in the 80s & 90s until he got involved with the match fixing controversy!! Still remember this game..we used to get scores over the pager..when he hit 5 fours to klusner we thought it was some kind of an error!! Eden gardens went crazy that day!! 👍👍
Chaitanya Panday the best thing in life we are all not perfect yet God forgives us our sins,his involvement in MF made his name defamed, We can forget his bad things and enjoy some brilliant innings he has played over the time, Majestic with his wrist is hard to replace ever.
Chaitanya Panday ,He never involved in match fixing controversy.... It was a trap.... Still today no one could prove it... Supreme Court has given slap decision for BCCI over life ban for the great cricketer... Yet Indian politicians stood him guilty.... In the auto-biography of Hancy Crowne he apologized the legend batsman N former Indian skipper MD.Azhar.

@@fathsomuch sorry your list has a wrong name that is "dravid" and he was one of the most technically sound and temperamentally sound batsman in the world that is why he is called the wall which means nothing can get through this wall of human flesh, blood and bones. i agree with you r list and there are many to be added in this sehwag, srikant, sandeep etc
Azaharudin was fine player but .hear some truth about indian dressing room .when india tour austrilia the wife of sehwag fuked by zaheer khan in hotel in sydney. that is truth bec one pajistani test cricketr told us that story.
@@NishitShukla mine is dhoni but still i hsve seen first hand the trial of Azhar ( honestly never knee cricket around 90s and millenia) no evidence was ever produced to indicate his name in match fixing and i am an agnostic with strong hatred for muslims and my second best player is Ishant sharma so now prove your point. Many have been wronged due to politics dont sit at home and pass judgement come to Supreme court and get your reality handed to you.
Azharuddin was that rare beast in Indian cricket - a good all-round fielder. Great reflexes and anticipation in slips, equally good in the ring and outfield. His batting was from the great Hyderabadi heritage of wristy artists - Jaisimha before him, and Laxman after him. The anger of nearly 18 years ago, upon finding his involvement in match-fixing, has over time given way to regret and disappointment.
Kartik Chaturvedi ye bhai he is the first who had introduced helicopter shot.shaifullah bhai isne bolne se izzat chali gayi kya azhar ki shayed yaad hoga tumhe azhar k uppar match fixing ka ilzam lag chuka hai.
Kartik Chaturvedi even paddle sweep bhi azharuddin ka shot tha jo baad me sachin ne khelne shuru kiya tha shane warne k aur duniya k baaki spinners k against
Probably this innings is one of the reasons Hansie Cronje had Azhar framed into fixing. Respect for India’s most revolutionary batsman and great former captain.
The 96-97 season... I saw a new kind of Azhar.... he would play shots right from the word go... and this second test was the beginning... in cape town January 97... I remember Sachin and Azhar posted hundreds... Azhar moved from 26 to 99 in just one hour before drinks following lunch break....
Thanks for uploading this. Still remember watching it live, in fact he scored a half century as well in the 2nd innings as well (if I am not wrong) although India lost the match. But always remember Azhar's batting in this match. Used to be my favourite player at that time.
@Faz S, You guys are not at all secular. Any muslims, you find only good in him, and any non muslim, you find only bad in him. you guys are biased, anti hindu always. This country India, would have been heaven without you guys.
For me he is best in captaincy as compared to dho i and gangoly… Becoz he don’t have quality team .. no quality fast bowler and no world class batsman other than Sachin .. still he won more then 10 cups and Leo India unbeaten in tests on Indian soil
Real helicopter shot player before tendulkar and dhoni.. what a great batsman Azharuddin. i remember we all loved to watch him bat. even the fact he was part of a team that we did not like to see winning :)
One of the best test innings played by any batsman.played Tests in t20 fashion.one can’t believe that he was involved in match fixing.but belief and reality are two different things.
Azzu Bhai hats off..being 90s kid I saw ur batting closely...ur wrist of iron and your fielding full of zest...LEKIN...log 100 achha innings bhool gaye for 1 INCIDENT...you were the best and shall remain one always...
I had the luck to watch this majestic batting before my eyes at Eden Gardens that day. We went mad in the gallery when Azzu was hammering like anything. It seemed to us that as if he was taking revenge for something with the bat. We shouted we danced we sang we jumped , that particular innings of Azzu will remain a never to forget event in my life.
I saw also present in Eden that day it was the bum for the wounds of 1996 semi final loss in Eden where azahar got out first ball but this time he scored scorching 109...
King of Eden Gardens, Kolkata..... we will never forget you 'Stylish Hyderabadi'
Laxman continued that legacy ...

No one can play cricket shots so elegantly, ferociously, classically and mesmerized.
Azharuddin is the most stylish batsman India has ever seen.
Azhar is a Wristy Player you can find the same kind of shots by VVS Laxman, almost similar. Both of them are stylish Batsmen. But Rahul Dravid is a class when it comes to Style, also Sachin, both of them has their own Class. We can see a mixture of Dravid and Sachin when Virat Kohli is Batting. He is a mixture of both of them along with a bit of Glance of Azhar. India has produced some of the most Stylish Batsmen in the History of World Cricket.
Azar in India.. David Gower's of England.. both stylish....
His flicks are a sight to sore eyes
He has other qualities that none else in Indian team had. He would play the ball late..and it helped him in England conditions.
Correct...my most favourite
He has real sprit for cricket..... Legend.....
greatest caption for india Mohammad azharuddin
Azhar Bhai was a sheer magician. He had entertained all his fans like us all over the world through his magical craft, style, and elegance. I Never feel bored while watching and enjoying his batting over and over again.
There might be many great player in future, But there will never be another stylish entertainer like Mohammad Azharuddin.❤️
When I stared watching cricket, Azhar was the Indian captain. I've seen some scintillating knocks by him. Every time he came to the crease, it felt he would carry the hopes of India across the line. Sadly, his team only had a few good match winners. He was the best fielder in the world at that time, never seen him miss the wickets on a throw. He was a true professional. I don't know if the match fixing thing is right or wrong, nothing has been proved. He truly is an Indian cricketing icon.
He is the only one who played those shots.he was the legend of todays legends.
Yes that too in front of fierce pace of Alan Donald & klusner !
Evergreen hero and stylist batsman ,, great captain who started changes in Indian cricket in 90,s
As a kid from 80s every time i goto play with my fellow kids in my mind I was the Azar. Used to copy his dressing style, his walk on the field and his batting style. He was an inspiration!
He was my favorite cricketer and i watched most of his innings live, earlier he was a slow player but suddenly he started hitting , his running between the wicket style was unique , he was very quick as well as slow too , he runs according to shot pace and fielders approach . His fielding was outstanding . but some times he throw his wicket very casually . his batting style still unmatched . except Lara and VVS Laxman no one is close to him when talk about wrist game.
Genius...True & Original Master Class by Azhar.... Beyond comparison to now days cricket game....After all old is always gold...
Azhar was a fine batsman!! He was a sensation in the 80s & 90s until he got involved with the match fixing controversy!! Still remember this game..we used to get scores over the pager..when he hit 5 fours to klusner we thought it was some kind of an error!! Eden gardens went crazy that day!! 👍👍
i was present at the ground...it makes me feel nostalgic..
Chaitanya Panday the best thing in life we are all not perfect yet God forgives us our sins,his involvement in MF made his name defamed,
We can forget his bad things and enjoy some brilliant innings he has played over the time,
Majestic with his wrist is hard to replace ever.
😂😂
Chaitanya Panday ,He never involved in match fixing controversy.... It was a trap.... Still today no one could prove it... Supreme Court has given slap decision for BCCI over life ban for the great cricketer... Yet Indian politicians stood him guilty.... In the auto-biography of Hancy Crowne he apologized the legend batsman N former Indian skipper MD.Azhar.
Halaki Saleem Durrani Ko kheltay nahi dekhaa per Suna haa wo Imran khan jesa thaa class but as per expert Azhar is the best among all time Indian, koi eek aada rehjay to maf karna, they all are legand just not play a long cricket, I will try to cover all time all teams player.....

Azhar uddeen
One of the greatest innings. I loved it.
..

That helicopter shot was so mesmerizing.. what a wristy player he was..
Paul Adams the only bowler in history facing the UMPIRE when delivering the ball.
Jayakrishnan Nair exactly
Jayakrishnan Nair 😂 ROFL
😂 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol 😂
Love this man.Was present at his debut test at Eden Garden and enjoyed his Century.Azzu is very dear to us calcuttans.Eden Garden never return him empty handed.
Helicopter shot ...by Azhar💪😀😂
That was a great knock under pressure. Fantastic batting display by Azhar.
My childhood favorite player, still I used to play wristy shots like Azhar.
My chaildhood favourite Indian captain Mohammad azharuddin sir
Helicopter Shot started by Azhar I just seen that Shot
Yes....MSD just added follow through ..
yes👌
Lucky to see this brutal inining really way back to 1996
He is the only one person who entertained most number of people in the world
He and VVS will remain my ever favorite ones....
Vivek Tripathi yes they were technicaly more sound then gangoly,dravid,and sidhu
Dravid was very sound technically. But Eden garden belongs to Azhar & VVS.
Vivek Tripathi Both r legends of hyderabadi biryani, ek hotel ki aur ek Ghar ki
Vvs scored 1 and 14 in this match as India lost by 329 runs
@@fathsomuch sorry your list has a wrong name that is "dravid" and he was one of the most technically sound and temperamentally sound batsman in the world that is why he is called the wall which means nothing can get through this wall of human flesh, blood and bones. i agree with you r list and there are many to be added in this sehwag, srikant, sandeep etc
I could watch him bat day in and day out even after 20+ years of his retirement
What a batsman!!! What an artist!!!
ExploratoryBehaviour yes brother he is an artist
Azaharudin was fine player but .hear some truth about indian dressing room .when india tour austrilia the wife of sehwag fuked by zaheer khan in hotel in sydney. that is truth bec one pajistani test cricketr told us that story.
@@abdullahakhunzada4653 you are a rss operated fake account.... People want love... Don't spread hatred
Azharuddin times india no1 batting line-up
Ajju bhai is realy great...
colar style azhar, fielding&walking awesome&super, miss u azhar👍🎉👈👇
My favorite Indian batsman.Most courageous batsman of India Legend of world cricket.
Nishit Shukla that is because you are bootlicker of Brahmin
Nishit Shukla was Azhar convicted? dont try to bully people...respond with data...
and Azhar was my favourite batsman...
Md Moinul Islam Azhar is my fav cricketer all time. I am.a Brahmin.
@@NishitShukla mine is dhoni but still i hsve seen first hand the trial of Azhar ( honestly never knee cricket around 90s and millenia) no evidence was ever produced to indicate his name in match fixing and i am an agnostic with strong hatred for muslims and my second best player is Ishant sharma so now prove your point. Many have been wronged due to politics dont sit at home and pass judgement come to Supreme court and get your reality handed to you.
Azharuddin was that rare beast in Indian cricket - a good all-round fielder. Great reflexes and anticipation in slips, equally good in the ring and outfield. His batting was from the great Hyderabadi heritage of wristy artists - Jaisimha before him, and Laxman after him. The anger of nearly 18 years ago, upon finding his involvement in match-fixing, has over time given way to regret and disappointment.
Also had accurate throw..
Abe isne to helicopter shot mara be
Matlab dhoni aur sachin se pehle ye maar chuka helicopter shot
1985 World Championship mein bhi usno yeh shot maara thaa Pakistan ke khilaaf
Kartik Chaturvedi ye bhai he is the first who had introduced helicopter shot.shaifullah bhai isne bolne se izzat chali gayi kya azhar ki shayed yaad hoga tumhe azhar k uppar match fixing ka ilzam lag chuka hai.
Qaiser Raza match fix nahi karte Azhar toh ye mahaan cricketer ki ginti me aate...
Kartik Chaturvedi even paddle sweep bhi azharuddin ka shot tha jo baad me sachin ne khelne shuru kiya tha shane warne k aur duniya k baaki spinners k against
Kartik Chaturvedi han yaar I am surprised
Probably this innings is one of the reasons Hansie Cronje had Azhar framed into fixing.
Respect for India’s most revolutionary batsman and great former captain.
The 96-97 season... I saw a new kind of Azhar.... he would play shots right from the word go... and this second test was the beginning... in cape town January 97... I remember Sachin and Azhar posted hundreds... Azhar moved from 26 to 99 in just one hour before drinks following lunch break....
Thanks for uploading this. Still remember watching it live, in fact he scored a half century as well in the 2nd innings as well (if I am not wrong) although India lost the match. But always remember Azhar's batting in this match. Used to be my favourite player at that time.
I have never seen this innings before.. The scoreboard itself says how single handedly took the game from RSA ...160/7 to 322/7
harun al rashid I think it was his last test? am I right?
Adil Ali no it is 1996 just after world cup his last test was in 2000 also against S.A. his 99 test and he scored a century in that test as Well
india lost the test though...:'(
Just imagine what would have happened if Azharuddin had modern-day bat in his hands like that of MS Dhoni.
Mudassar Mannan
He would have failed miserably
Miracle
Kuch jyada Nahi fark padta...
@@wittysparks6787 what has Islam got to do with this?
@Faz S, You guys are not at all secular. Any muslims, you find only good in him, and any non muslim, you find only bad in him. you guys are biased, anti hindu always. This country India, would have been heaven without you guys.
azhar have leadership quality indias best captian ever a big hitter as well
But he did fixing such players not needed
@@SraviShankar-hl5sg Its Never Proved TILL the Date Court Clean His illigation
Azhar had contributed much to the development of Indian Cricket in the Nineties. Ganguly is being celebrated, but Azhar is not given his due.
Match Fixer...
For me he is best in captaincy as compared to dho i and gangoly… Becoz he don’t have quality team .. no quality fast bowler and no world class batsman other than Sachin .. still he won more then 10 cups and Leo India unbeaten in tests on Indian soil
Azhar is Great orijnal honest stylish batsman captain is world no 1 All world people love your Stylish Sixes and Four
Real helicopter shot player before tendulkar and dhoni.. what a great batsman Azharuddin. i remember we all loved to watch him bat. even the fact he was part of a team that we did not like to see winning :)
Miss him so much . Was devastated when he was banned .
The guy had so much to give for Indian Cricket . Will always rate him higher than Ganguly .
Thanks for the videos.tabhi se Maine cricket sikha hain.Azhar the stylish batsman
One of the best test innings played by any batsman.played Tests in t20 fashion.one can’t believe that he was involved in match fixing.but belief and reality are two different things.
Yr 2020 but still a legend is legend. Salam azhar bhai
Azzu Bhai hats off..being 90s kid I saw ur batting closely...ur wrist of iron and your fielding full of zest...LEKIN...log 100 achha innings bhool gaye for 1 INCIDENT...you were the best and shall remain one always...
Calcutta people are really very lucky and blessed to witness Azhars pure magic..
Azharuddin David gower dean Jónes mohsin khan and Zaheer abbas was all different batsman even if they score 40 runs its delight to see them
Laxman, and Yuvraj too.
I had the luck to watch this majestic batting before my eyes at Eden Gardens that day. We went mad in the gallery when Azzu was hammering like anything. It seemed to us that as if he was taking revenge for something with the bat. We shouted we danced we sang we jumped , that particular innings of Azzu will remain a never to forget event in my life.
I saw also present in Eden that day it was the bum for the wounds of 1996 semi final loss in Eden where azahar got out first ball but this time he scored scorching 109...
