It had to be THE clash of the 2003 World Cup for India. Pakistan had a brilliant side with stars like Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Saeed Anwar. I grew up watching these cricketers. So, it was a huge moment personally as well.

There was great fanfare in South Africa regarding the India-Pakistan match. I am sure the locals were wondering whether the match was being played in South Africa. It was a huge turnout. For a moment I thought we were playing in India. It was madness out there.
