Inzamam gives the kiss of life!

On April 12, in the fourth match of the one-day series between India and Pakistan at Sardar Patel Stadium, Ahmedabad, Inzamam-ul-Haq pierced a glorious boundary past point off the last ball of the day by Sachin Tendulkar, to register a sensational three wicket win for his side. Inzamam became only the 10th batsman for the 11th time to score a winning hit off the last ball of an ODI match. Lance Klusener still remains as the only batsman to perform such feat twice. Curiously enough, almost to the day 19 years ago (on April 18, 1986) Javed Miandad smashed Chetan Sharma a stunning six off the final ball of the match to take Pakistan to its first ever ODI title triumph. Ahmedabad game was also the 23rd instance of a side winning a one-day international off the last ball of the match.
