You can guess what the importance of Miandad is in Pakistan cricket, from the same fact that even after so many years of his retirement, Miandad is at number four in the batsmen scoring most runs for Pakistan.

In that over, Team India had expectations from Chetan Sharma and on the other hand Pakistani team had expectations from Javed Miandad as Javed was playing 110 runs at that time. What was it then, Javed hit a six over Chetan Sharma's last ball and India lost the winning match. Pakistan won in that match, but Chetan Sharma got a bad-looking stain for a lifetime.

India and Miandad have a special relationship. Before the Partition of Indo-Pak, Miandad's parents used to live in Gujarat but after the partition of the country, they settled in Karachi.
