'Wasim Bhai, aap yahaan kahaan': Inzamam finally addresses infamous runout

Pakistan's former cricket legend Inzamam Ul Haq has finally spoken up about what he said after the infamous 1999 World Cup comical runout.

During a Star Sports special show for Champions Trophy featuring Navjot Singh Sidhu, Inzamam Ul Haq, Shahid Afridi, and Yuvraj Singh, the conversation took a hilarious turn when Sidhu brought up Inzamam's infamous runout.

The incident, which happened during the 1999 World Cup match against Australia, saw Inzamam getting run out in an unusual manner, with Wasim Akram unintentionally playing a role in his dismissal.

Sidhu, known for his witty remarks, teased Inzamam by recalling the moment, saying, "Wasim has told this story 15 times. He called you for a run; you said, 'Yes, let's go for two,' but then you slipped and fell. Wasim kept running, and when you looked up, you said, 'Wasim bhai, aap yahan kahan?' (Wasim Bhai, why are you here?)"

The entire panel burst into laughter as Inzamam responded with a humorous explanation. "Tell me one thing—we had already decided that we had to take a run so that I could get back on strike. One batsman has fallen in front of you, and you are still running! Didn't you see me? Were you blindfolded? What were you thinking?"

The lighthearted banter continued as Shahid Afridi and Yuvraj Singh joined in, adding their jokes about Inzamam's history of getting run out in unusual ways.

Meanwhile, during the Pakistan vs India match on February 23, commentator Wasim Akram was asked about Imam Ul Haq's runout in the 10th over. The dismissal, caused by Axar Patel's direct hit, reminded many of Imam's uncle, Inzamam Ul Haq. Akram and Sunil Gavaskar joked about how getting run out seems to "run in the Haq family."

India outclassed Pakistan by six wickets, thanks to a brilliant century by Virat Kohli. Kohli became only the third player to score 14,000 runs in ODIs, achieving the milestone faster than anyone else.
