Javed Miandad turns 60: 5 biggest talking points from the Pakistan legend's career

#3 The declaration that caused heartbreak

The declaration meant Miandad missed out on a triple century

In a Test match against arch-rivals India at Hyderabad in the year 1983, the batsman batted his way to 238 at the end of Day Two. On Day three, he moved to 280 not out and just then, the captain of Pakistan team Imran Khan declared.

Miandad was clearly not happy with that as he believed he could get to triple century. Later on, rifts between Imran and Miandad were reported in which the latter claimed that no declaration plans were shared with him during the match, and his consent was not even considered. This episode triggered many years of rift between the two Pakistani legends.
