Featuring in Sky Sports Cricket‘s podcast ‘One That Got Away’, Hussain relived India’s memorable heist at Lord’s from 19 years ago, when Kaif and Yuvraj Singh, two unheralded youngsters, combined to chase down England’s 325-run total.

“It is the greatest innings that lad [Kaif] played,” Hussain said. “He will be remembered for that, I saw a picture of Yuvraj with the Lord’s in the background, and he’s tweeted ‘great memories’, and the memories are for that game.”

Kaif’s unbeaten 87 has since become part of Indian cricketing folklore, with the win being considered the turning point in India’s modern-day white-ball renaissance.

“It is probably in India, one of the top-5 most talked about cricket matches and in a nice sort of way – because it was done by those two,” Hussain said. “If it just been [Virender] Sehwag and [Sachin] Tendulkar again, it would have been like ‘okay they have done it’. But, to be outdone by two relatively unknown young lads I think was a great boost to Indian cricket.”
