4. I am more dangerous with the ball: India were playing Pakistan in Kochi on April 2, 2005. After Sachin failed with the bat, India piled on 281 runs but to their dismay the Pakistani openers had their guns blazing before slipping from 45-0 to 64-4. But someone had to strike and remove the dangerous middle-order of Pakistan consisting of mighty Inzamam-Ul-Haq and Pakistan almost recovered to 112-4 before Sachin struck with the ball. He went on to pick up a five-wicket haul for 50 runs in 10 overs that comprised of a maiden over also.
