When Inzamam-ul-Haq's reply after a unique dismissal became part of India vs Pakistan cricket folklore

It was India's 2006 tour of Pakistan when Inzamam-ul-Haq was given out obstructing the field in the first ODI of the series in Peshawar, and while the dismissal stirred a controversy, it was the former Pakistan captain's reply at the presentation ceremony that became part of the cricket folklore on a different note.

Inzamam played a delivery from pacer S Sreesanth to mid-off and thought of a quick single but was sent back by the non-striker Younis Khan who saw Suresh Raina pouncing onto the ball.
