NEW DELHI: Pakistan's star opener, Imam-ul-Haq, is set to channel the spirit of his record-setting compatriot, Saeed Anwar, and Pakistan's triumphant history in Chennai as they gear up to revitalise their World Cup campaign. On Monday, Pakistan is scheduled to take on Afghanistan at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium, where Anwar once blazed a trail with his monumental 194 against India in 1997, marking the highest individual ODI score of its time.
At that unforgettable moment in Chennai, Saeed Anwar's brilliance not only etched his name in the cricketing annals but also steered Pakistan to a 35-run victory over their arch-rivals. It was the stuff of legend, and the stadium has witnessed Pakistan's triumph more than once.
