‘Give two Pakistani umpires, we …’, when Alan Border told Pak captain Imran Khan

Imran Khan vs allan border cricket: Cricket is not just a game, but a passion in which the strategies outside the field are important along with the match inside the field. Teams try to create mental pressure on each other before big tournaments or series. In this case, the Australian team is considered very fast-paced, which still makes its presence outside the field. However, sometimes a sharp answer is also heard in this mental game.

Talking about an interesting story of cricket, an interesting incident of the 1980s is still remembered between Alan Border and Imran Khan. At that time, Pakistan’s captaincy was with Imran Khan and Australia’s team was commanding Alan Border. Pakistan’s team went on a tour of Australia, and both the captains met in Sydney during an informal meeting.

In this meeting, Imran Khan told Alan Border in a funny tone, “If you give me two players from India, Sunil Gavaskar and BS Chandrashekhar, we will beat Australia.” On this, Alan Border also immediately replied, “If you give me two Pakistani umpires, we will beat anyone.”

Imran Khan became a bit uncomfortable with this response to Allen border and he complained to the Australian Cricket Board. After this, Alan Border apologized to Imran Khan and Pakistan Cricket Board for his statement.
