Azhar is the most stylish batsmen and cricketer ever. That's why he is my all time favourite cricketer. Even if he scores 20 runs its enough for the audience enjoy classic strokeplay. Truly a legend. I Salute Azhar.
Right.Azhars mere 30 was more joy full to watch than a laboured hundred.The was no better sight in international cricket between 1985 and 2000 than Mohammed Azharuddin in full flow
Azharuddin was one of the greatest cricketers of India . He was a gifted, most stylish and wristy batsman. He was an artist with a magic wand ! He was an outstanding fielder in any position, especially in the slips. His contribution to Indian cricket simply cannot be ignored. There were so many cricketers who did match fixing, but escaped. Azhar came out clean despite the allegations. What about Shane Warne and others?
Gavaskar is a meenthi churi Woh Azhar ki tareef karte huay thakta nahin tha Mohammad Àzharuddin Yeh Mohammad Àzharuddin woh lekin uske andar ka bhoot akhirkar bahar aa hi gaya when he got succes in involving Azhar in heinous crime like match fixing.Gavaskar's fire of jealousy was extinguished whenAzhar was banned from all sorts of cricket with no proof no evidence.Mr Gavaskar says that he used to seeAzhar doing big shoppings, this least is not an evidence of match fixing ,Azhar had money,so he invested you(Mr Gavaskar)too are free to invest the way you want if you have. Your second drama is of Late Hansie Cronje bookie Sanjeev or so Chawla meeting or of the sort .This is also not an evidence of match fixing.You are free to meet anyone anywhere but where is the evidence of match fixing.Though Azhar has been given the clin chit yet the people like Gavaskar are treating him as a match fixer -Is this not contempt of the court. The base of a republic is based on justice, if justice is violated the divine powers play their role,and what will happen then is unimaginable.
I was in school during his time.. I played stomach ache drama in school to be sent back from school so that i could see Azhar batting... Truly a legend and inspiration for millions
I stopped watching cricket after Azhar s carrier came to end . True legend pure grace to watch . Those days single handedly fought many matches and won for team India
When ur side is 59/5 a man comes out after losing his captaincy makes a 100(96) on a seaming pitch against Donald, Pollock, Klusenar, Paul Adams. Man he should be something
Azharuddin against klusenar was a poetry... today’s cricket has lost the grace.. “Where is heaven? - somebody said- sunshine in lords...jim laker bowling one end and bishen bedi in other end. For me “ sunshine in eden...100 thousands cheering...4 slips 2 gully...Klausner round the wicket...pitched outside off stamp...Azharuddin flicks through the mid wicket....poetry in full song...
I remember this match..Sachin and azhar scored allmost 6 runs per over and added 200+ runs in 2 sessions.. best counter attacking batting by an indian pair against quality bowling attack..
No one can bat like azhar. Such were those days. Now no one has such class. Today's batsmen are like robots. Even commentators vouch for. Best batsman ever
@@aditya41185 seeing the video even after reading the title and bothering to see comments and give a comment yourself speaks volume of your hypocrisy..
What i like about Azhar is his immaculate class, the way he plays the cricket shots, elegant glance, superb timing and effortless strokes and using the pace of the ball unlike our new generation cricketers who just hits the balls without any cricketing shots. moreover i am very happy that still there are lot of genuine who people share their views honestly irrespective of cast and creed.
he did what he had to, who cares now..every ex cricketer were talkin abt his match fixing , didnt know they were filmed by hidden camera..i know muslim brothers have to take his side for face saving.
The thing is quite a few people do play wristy stroke.. VVS, Mark Waugh, Amla, but none can create that elegance and panache. the grace Azza has no one can/does and thats what makes him magic...his own class ! also he was always humble on the field rarely showed anger or emotion.. played the game like it should. Gentlemen way ! i guess once a fan of Azza always a fan.. coz nothing else appeals you !
@@bellpepper3235 a fixer will not care about the team. But he is a team man. We don't know what is happened but the way he lead an ordinary team and win few trophies, I don't think he is a fixer.

Delight to watch. Just brutal counter attack century under immense pressure against top quality side SA. Perhaps the best innings Md. Azharuddin I have seen. Thanks
Each of his centuries was a festival. He has the most beautiful batting style Indian cricket has ever seen. World cricket has never seen such a beautiful batsman before or now.
This was first time, I saw Azhar batting. His batting was something else. I have seen many batsmen from 2010 to 2020. But, His batting has something else.
True, He is God of Cricket Class he kiss and hit the ball more romantically, no one can play like this. His footwork is amazing now a days we can find this footwork in Hashim Amla but not his class.
Well played Azharuddin. India🇮🇳 loves you🌹, Cricket history will remember you love, respect, dignity for your stylish, technical stroke play, your great skilled fielding, cool temperamental captaincy. Long live your name fame and popularity.
I never saw such a brutal counter attack by a sub continent player in South Africa, Azhar used to play very well abroad on bouncier tracks and seaming ones
In the final years of his career, Azhar turned into one of the mast attacking batsman of that era. Azhar was scoring runs at a very high strike rate even in test matches. ... and the incredible thing is that unlike most attacking batsman, Azhar scored his runs with elegant and artistic strokeplay. There was no better sight in cricket than an in-form Azhar at the crease.
Actually he did that earlier also - in 89-90, against England in England. Azhar was a flawed genius I guess - breathtakingly brilliant when he clicked, wayward, etc. etc.
I have been watching Indian cricket for almost 35 years and in my opinion, I think we were very unfortunate that the career of Azhar had to come to and end much before time. We do not know what actually happened, because in India, nobody is given a fair trial. In my opinion, Azhar is the best batsman that India has produced so far. In fact, in almost all of his centuries, if you look at Azhar's reaction after reaching his 100, you will find no trace of any ego in it. Even a Tendulkar or a Ganguly showed a lot of emotion after reaching their centuries. This is true of Kapil Dev also. We speak of a run a ball or faster these days. But in the case of Kapil, all his runs in both test & one day games were made at a frenetic pace at more than a run a ball. I wonder there is so much hype about a Kohli or a Tendulkar when we have not seen them perform against the likes of a Rpberts or a Lillee or an Imran Khan or a Hadlee or an Ian Botham for that matter even a Bob Willis. Though Kapil is definitely the best cricketer India has produced, I wonder why Sachin was given the Bharat Ratan ahead of Kapil. If it is a case of humility in the midst of achievements you only have to see Kapil's face when he received the World Cup Trophy in 1983. You cannot see an iota of ego in him, only true joy. I wish this comment of mine was posted in sites which would be noticed by the cricketing fraternity
man..this is really by far the most stylish batsmen till date!!! really i just love the way the shots are played using his wrist and leg work...!!! even in today's time we dont have anyone to play like him..in terms of style...
@@Channakeshava-vh5fd He got out on 199 because he played a tired shot . The ball kept low and caught a tired azhar lbw. Azhar was suffering from severe back pain. He could not play the next two test matches due to this back injury. He returned after 1 month in odi series and hit his first odi century off only 96 balls at Wankhede stadium mumbai 1986. ! Century off 96 balls in 1986 that too through ground strokes was possible only by vivian richards at that time. Azhar was a stylish master .
My all time favorite batsman. I am a big fan of him . I used to watch his batting on TV in 90s , listened to radio commentary when there was a power cut . I have never seen any other batsman till date who has such elegant and wristy shot making skills and that too quickly. Mark Waugh and VVS Laxman will come close to him. He was an agreresive batsman with class. His batting technique was very artistic and looked like a painter creating a beautiful piece of art with his paint brush. Just look at this gem innings. A test century only from 96 balls that too against SA in their own backyard and against bowlers like Donald, Pollack and Klusner. Those wristy cover drives , On drives and flicks were just sublime , class apart. I feel very sad about the way his career ended.
This was indeed one of the finest hundred one could have hoped to see...playing these kinds of strokes in front of Donald, Pollock & Klusner...that's outrageous...
One of my favourite inning of Azhar. India was on brink of collapse to follow up. He and Tendulkar played one of attacking innings in Test cricket. I still remember when and where watching it live with friends and family. Good old days.
Thanks a lot for this knock! This was incredible when I first watched it, 14 years ago, it was incredible when I saw it once again yesterday! Thanks a lot again for the upload!
This is one of the finest days of Indian batting I have ever witnessed. The only parallels being Dravid and Laxman at Eden Gardens against Australia in 2001 and Tendulkar, Dravid and Ganguly against England at Leeds in 2002.
till dravid and laxman AND GANGULY came , indian batting was pathetic except tendulkar- GREAT DECISION TO DROP MANJAERKJAR AND FINISH HIS CAREER AND TO BE REPLACED BY NOW THEN AND FORVER IN DRAVID LEGEND. TENDULKAR IS LIKE UNDERTAKER AND KOHLI LIKE ROMAN REGINS
rahanbe better-he was a burden captain by choosing fools like ajaya jadeja, robin singh, agarkar- reasons india lost and now they pretend to be pseduo experts
Really marvelous batting capacity, we can't found any one batsman's like Mr. World class batsman Mr. Md. Bhai. You are only one deserve for growing cricket. In this time please come and do the couching.
90's memories were the best. From cricket to TV serials from advertisement to music As far as cricket goes, I still remember the MRF of Sachin, Reebok of Azar, Wills of Dravid , BDM of Siddhu GM of south African players kokapura of srilankan and four square of Kumbale srinath Prasad. Miss old days
@@ahmedabdullah-bz9yc i think the guy was talking about 90s, viv didnt played much in 90s. But yeah obviously he was the one who brought bat sponsers in cricket The first poster boy of cricket in my view if we leave out Don.
India's records at home in both ODIs and Test from 1991-1999 were phenomenal. Azhar captained Indian team for most part of this period and India was invincible at home. Hero Cup, Test and One day serieses against England, Australia , Westindies, South Africa Newzealand . We all won those series and Azhar played a crucial role with his captaincy skills as well as with his great batting in those wins.
Hyderabadi man with wristy flicks. Need more credit in the field of cricket. He would have been highest run getter in cricket history if we would have continued his cricket.... My respect to him.
Azhar singing to the beats...Azhar finished his century in no time...he loved Klusener...ja bowling seekh ke aa...as if he was batting in nets...Azhar in those days played every shot that today..a Kohli...Rohit...Dhoni...would play...
His batting was treat for the eyes...in this innings no difference... Azhar Vs kluesener was one for the ages, be it Eden or capetown... What an innings it was...a great counter attacking innings and partnership with another great Sachin against that bowling line up... Azhar's wrist work was something beyond imagination... Missed the voice of charu Sharma...
I remember this SA tour. I was in school.. I used to cry, as the entire batting except sachin used to fail. In this Match, both sachin and Azhar showed thier class. What beautiful memories, it was such a delight to watch them both.
It's ok not listen to Gawaskar Commentry. He has high regards for Azza bhai. I always rate Sunil Gawaskar is the best best batsman ever played for India even today ,Mind you those era were the lethal fast bowling attack in every team and he used to play with a bloody Hat and so much concentration. Always he was the best. Check yourself in TH-cam about his inngings bro. InLate eighties and 90s Azza ruled the pitch no two doubt about it.
People who like Azhars batting n attitude never become the fan of other players. He was unique. True blue legend
Azhar
My 1st choice azhar
Correctly said...no match of Azhar class 👍👍👍
Definitely
Absolutely, even after 2000s we missed him

What a great player. In fact he was an artist with the total package.
rahanbe better-he was a burden captain by choosing fools like ajaya jadeja, robin singh, agarkar- reasons india lost and now they pretend to be pseduo experts
What a legend. The real “wristy” player
I have never seen a more frustrated bowler..Just pure class mohammed Azharuddin
What a great batting by Azhar under pressure along with Tendulkar!
They played same type of innings in newzeland in Wellington test!!!
Gary Kirsten brought me here !!
Azar reminds me W G Grace... The father of world cricket..
Plays like music with rethem... We love you bhai...
Azhar is my all time favorite batsman. No one can match him. Not even Sachin
Undoubtedly..the best 👌👌👍👍🙏🙏
Really marvelous batting capacity, we can't found any one batsman's like Mr. World class batsman Mr. Md. Bhai.
You are only one deserve for growing cricket. In this time please come and do the couching.
best indian batsman to watch, his skill set was very high. the way he timed the ball with a very light bat shows his class
A TOTAL FLUKE

Vvs laxman was too great to watch.
My childhood favourite batsman...I used to bat like him and later I realised that I couldn't bat like him,it was so difficult so I stopped that ..
The epitome of old school batsmanship…light bat, light feet, timing, and full follow through…beautiful
Azhar bhai stanz and walking style is just brilliant and out of the world
He Scored Century & great support in all critical situations at the time.
Azhardiun very great batsman, he is Legend
Most stylish batsman ever in cricket history
90's memories were the best. From cricket to TV serials from advertisement to music
As far as cricket goes, I still remember the MRF of Sachin, Reebok of Azar, Wills of Dravid , BDM of Siddhu GM of south African players kokapura of srilankan and four square of Kumbale srinath Prasad. Miss old days
Kookaburra of Australia players
U missed one dear....V.100... needles to mention to whom it belongs....Circket knows it...
@@ahmedabdullah-bz9yc whom
@@cjvatsal8010 astonished??? U didn't know?... Viv Richards used to play with V.100 bat...
@@ahmedabdullah-bz9yc i think the guy was talking about 90s, viv didnt played much in 90s. But yeah obviously he was the one who brought bat sponsers in cricket The first poster boy of cricket in my view if we leave out Don.
Azharuddin, sheer class of using wrists.
Literally they played t20. in one session it was like 100 plus in no time. Most cherished moment for me as a fan of Azharuddin
This is when Lance Klusener decided that he will switch to being a batsman and ensure his place in the team 😉
what nonsense lmao...some of these fans sure like to make stupid stories to entertain themselves.
😅😅
Azharuddin is real first master batsman for India and from India.
Azar is the first batsman who completed 100 runs just 57 balls if I'm not wrong... That too without fielding limits
@King Slayer it is easy to say u wrong bro without mentioning right answer
India's records at home in both ODIs and Test from 1991-1999 were phenomenal. Azhar captained Indian team for most part of this period and India was invincible at home. Hero Cup, Test and One day serieses against England, Australia , Westindies, South Africa Newzealand . We all won those series and Azhar played a crucial role with his captaincy skills as well as with his great batting in those wins.
I didn't see any classical and wristy batsman ever near to great great Mohammad Azaruddin sir. He wad world best batsman.
Hyderabadi man with wristy flicks. Need more credit in the field of cricket. He would have been highest run getter in cricket history if we would have continued his cricket.... My respect to him.
A real artist. Such a treat to watch azhar bhai.... I respect him a lot...
Azhar singing to the beats...Azhar finished his century in no time...he loved Klusener...ja bowling seekh ke aa...as if he was batting in nets...Azhar in those days played every shot that today..a Kohli...Rohit...Dhoni...would play...
His batting was treat for the eyes...in this innings no difference...
Azhar Vs kluesener was one for the ages, be it Eden or capetown...
What an innings it was...a great counter attacking innings and partnership with another great Sachin against that bowling line up...
Azhar's wrist work was something beyond imagination...
Missed the voice of charu Sharma...
Watched this highlight several times over the years...noticed not even a single boundry scored in bouncer .thanks zulu..😊
What a hitter Azharuddin💗💗💗💗 marvoulous 115 👍👍in foreign soil against South Africa excellent partnership with Sachin
What a great time that was when real legends played awesome cricket
Azharuddin is a classi player 👍🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
One n only true sheer batsman n fielder n caption in cricket history ever.
Did Azhar hold anything against Lance Klusener? Goodness me...he was going ballistic against him...lol!
Raghavendra Gabbita even in kolkata .
other bowlers too fast, lol!
Special treat for our eyes
Yeah, klusner once broke his stumps into two pieces.
@@afzalahmed9103 which year ??
Lance klusner kept giving sarcastic looks after being hit for a boundary, Azhar kept Klusner in his pocket lol....
Azharuddin the great legend in cricket history
I remember this SA tour. I was in school.. I used to cry, as the entire batting except sachin used to fail. In this Match, both sachin and Azhar showed thier class. What beautiful memories, it was such a delight to watch them both.
Azhar was nightmare for spinners. He had great skill and that elegance is feast for eyes.
I am really sad for not witnessing this wizard batting as I came to know about cricket in 2003, born in 1994.
My all time fav. Cricketer that's Azza.
Today's cricketers won't even come close azar
Yes. True
King kohli
Yeah you r right......they won't come close in fixing
@@salilphansekar9557 did you see?,,,,,u just blindly followed what media was told
@@ayanbhatecharya1995 but bowlers gears and playing conditions were different back then not like now everything favours batters .....
1:05 azhar special
A visual treat to watch, rare breed of a batsman so classy and stylish.
Hero azhar what a game. Magician with wrist. But I don’t wait listen lucha Gavaskar commentary.
It's ok not listen to Gawaskar Commentry. He has high regards for Azza bhai. I always rate Sunil Gawaskar is the best best batsman ever played for India even today ,Mind you those era were the lethal fast bowling attack in every team and he used to play with a bloody Hat and so much concentration. Always he was the best. Check yourself in TH-cam about his inngings bro. InLate eighties and 90s Azza ruled the pitch no two doubt about it.
SUNEL GAVASKAR WAS NEVER JEALOUS OF AZHAR AND IN FACT HE ALWAYS EAGERLY LOOKING FOR GREAT INNINGS. AZHAR DISAPPOINTED HIM ALSO.
