00:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:13 Brought to you by [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Thank you very much for inviting me.
00:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:49 Mohin, let's start off with your cricket, man.
00:51 What an impressive record.
00:52 Are you satisfied with this record?
00:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:59 No regrets.
01:00 I'm very happy.
01:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:03 Not only [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:09 Under 14, under 16, under 19.
01:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:18 It's a long, long process.

01:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:56 And then he picked me up from there.
01:57 Like, I had played in the '90s.
02:00 But he was the only one.
02:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:13 And I was so lucky.
02:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:19 His name was Hassan Asghari.
02:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:28 Playing a first class game.
02:29 And of course, with the great Zaheer Bhai.
02:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:36 But unfortunately, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:40 pressure handling [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

03:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:41 I'm just joking.
03:42 I know.
03:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:47 And we have won numerous trophies.
03:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:53 But very unfortunate.
03:54 It's a national career.
03:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:05 Unfortunately, they have--
04:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:08 We've seen a lot of those things.

06:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:12 then learn to respect first.
06:14 And I still remember that word. It's the truth.
06:17 - If you respect, you will get respect. - Of course. That's great.
06:20 What was the last thing you spoke to your father about?
06:23 I'm very unfortunate.
06:26 My father has always been fit in life, Masha Allah.
06:29 He worked till he was 97.
06:31 We won the World Cup in 1992.
06:33 I always wanted to see my father relaxed.
06:37 Because we were eight siblings.
06:39 - Eight siblings? - Yes, eight siblings.
06:42 And one was my aunt.
06:43 My grandmother used to live with us.
06:45 - So, we were... - A joint family.
06:47 Ten and twelve people in one salary.
06:50 And the salary was...
06:52 I don't know how much it was, but it was very less.
06:55 The last salary my father drew was...
06:58 I believe it was Rs. 25,000 when he was retired.
07:02 And I followed him a lot.
07:05 Because my father had a good routine.
07:07 He used to wake up early in the morning, offer his prayers,
07:09 and go for a walk.
07:10 We had to get up early in the morning,
07:13 shave our heads, and observe his life.
07:17 That gives you inspiration.
07:19 He was a very hard-working man.
07:20 Unfortunately, I didn't have a last word with him.
07:24 Because when he died, it was 31st October, 2016.
07:29 He was admitted for the first time.
07:31 He had a heart problem.
07:33 He had a bypass in 1997, but he felt very good afterwards.
07:38 He was going on a smooth journey.
07:42 But all of a sudden,
07:44 he was attacked and he went to the hospital.
07:49 But because of the stroke, I couldn't talk to him.
07:53 He was paralyzed on the right side.
07:57 He had a little problem with his tongue, so he couldn't speak.
08:01 It was very unfortunate that he couldn't speak.
08:04 But the guidance he gave us in life,
08:06 is still with us, Alhamdulillah.
08:08 - It's with all of us. - Do you still have any regrets?
08:11 Of course, I do.
08:13 I feel like we couldn't do anything.
08:17 Because all of us, all of us,
08:21 all of us are settled,
08:23 we are educated.
08:24 One of us did a chartered accountancy.
08:26 One of us served the Pakistan Air Force
08:29 as Wing Commander, he retired.
08:32 Now he's settled in Canada.
08:35 All of us wanted to stay together,
08:38 like our father did.
08:41 But you know, as the family grows,
08:44 - people... - Especially among brothers,
08:47 - there are many problems. - Yes, there are, but it's a good thing.
08:52 I think family values in Pakistan,
08:54 especially in our joint family system, are very strong.
08:57 It's an institution of the family, which is still there.
09:00 Because it's diminished in Western cultures and societies.
09:04 - Alhamdulillah. - There, parents are put in old homes.
09:07 Or they are told to go to a nursing home.
09:11 Anyway, it's your father's sacrifice,
09:14 - which we are proud of. - Yes, definitely.
09:17 And he must be very proud of what all you have achieved in your time.
09:22 And one more interesting thing,
09:24 when I built a house for the first time, I was the captain of the Pakistan cricket team.
09:27 When I built a house for the first time,
09:29 he came and prayed for me. He was very happy when we had house warming.
09:34 And he had invited everyone from the family.
09:37 So, my father prayed for me. And then he told me
09:40 that the post I was in was the head of procurement,
09:44 which was a big overseas company.
09:46 So, he told me that the post I was in,
09:48 and I was a hanky-panky guy, I had to build four such houses.
09:51 But I felt very happy.
09:54 Because of my hard work,
09:57 and the hard work I have put in, spiritually,
09:59 I am feeling very glad to see that...
10:02 - Proud of you, basically. - ...Allah has blessed you with a big house.
10:06 It's a very interesting thing.
10:08 People should share these things.
10:10 People get inspiration, kids get inspiration.
10:13 Nowadays, kids are looking for shortcuts.
10:17 - Everyone. - You know.
10:18 Kids remember shortcuts. We'll talk about Azam too.
10:21 We'll take a short break after this.
10:23 One more cup brought to you by Tapaal Dhanedar.
10:31 I am Fakhr-e-Anam. And with me today is my special guest, Mohin Khan.
10:35 I was talking to him.
10:36 You told us about your father.
10:37 You told us some amazing things.
10:39 And you were right.
10:41 Young people should know about him.
10:44 I remembered that there is a very proud young man in your family.
10:47 His name is Azam Khan.
10:49 He doesn't hit small sixes at all.
10:51 Whenever he hits, he hits a star in the sky.
10:54 So tell us, as a father,
10:57 you must feel very proud that your son has become a international star.
11:02 He has made a name for himself in big leagues.
11:05 He has also represented Pakistan.
11:07 What is the one thing that makes you the happiest?
11:12 The thing that makes me the happiest is that
11:15 his son is a cricketer from a cricketer's family.
11:18 I am very happy about that.
11:19 Because we own this cricket.
11:21 Because of this cricket, we are known all over the world.
11:25 And if there is Pakistan, then we are there.
11:28 If there is no Pakistan, then obviously we don't have any identity.
11:31 I am very happy when a cricketer's son comes to this level,
11:35 plays cricket and tries to compete.
11:39 I am very happy because most of our cricketers
11:43 didn't let their children come close to this profession
11:46 and this has made them their own identity.
11:49 I think education is very important.
11:53 - But cricket itself is an education. - Right.
11:55 We play all our lives, travel a lot,
11:59 meet people, interact with them.
12:00 We learn a lot of things.
12:02 So to become a professional, I think it's a good thing
12:05 that I gave my son to Pakistan's cricket.
12:08 That's a very good thing.
12:10 Now let's talk about the useless people.
12:12 Who are the useless people that you are very fond of?
12:15 You know that.
12:16 The whole of Pakistan knows.
12:20 Everyone keeps complaining about me.
12:23 But being a father is very difficult for me.
12:25 It's a very emotional…
12:27 I know that you have tried to increase the strictness at home.
12:31 - Many times. - You have been on a strict diet.
12:34 But the devil has been smuggling pizzas from other rooms
12:37 and eating them in his room.
12:38 I know that.
12:40 But, I know it must be very difficult for you.
12:43 He doesn't eat in front of us.
12:44 But it's funny, sometimes he goes to bed late at night
12:47 and can't sleep.
12:48 I go out to eat something,
12:50 he stands in front of the fridge.
12:52 He says, "Dad, you're still awake?"
12:55 And you don't ask him, "What are you doing in front of the fridge?"
12:58 "I'm awake, what are you asking me?"
12:59 How can a father stop his son?
13:01 - I know, you can't stop a kid. - How can you stop him from eating?
13:04 But you must have had conversations with him.
13:05 - I'm very proud of him. - "You're a big cricketer."
13:08 - "You're going to become one." - No, no, many times.
13:10 - You can think of me as a father. - I know, I know.
13:13 Who runs an academy,
13:14 teaches and teaches his kids cricket.
13:17 How can I leave my kids?
13:19 But it all depends.
13:20 But your wife doesn't interfere much.
13:23 Doesn't she pamper him and protect him?
13:26 No, no, it's not like that.
13:28 She also tries to make him understand.
13:31 Because he is very passionate about cricket.
13:36 If he has to go somewhere, he might be late.
13:40 But I've been taking care of him since day one.
13:42 We used to live in Defence.
13:44 I've taken him to the lifts.
13:46 I've taken him to North Nazimabad to play cricket.
13:48 I've taken him to the rickshaw.
13:50 I've never given him a driver.
13:51 I've trained him like this.
13:54 Not only the children, but the greats,
13:59 but you should have your own approach.
14:01 I teach him that.
14:02 "Son, where do you foresee yourself?"
14:04 "How far do you want to play from Pakistan?"
14:07 "How long can you serve?"
14:08 Because you should be able to see
14:11 all the blessings of God that are in front of you.
14:14 But you won't get them.
14:16 You have to earn it with your hard work.
14:19 I always guide my kids.
14:20 A poor kid or a good family man,
14:25 they both work equally hard.
14:28 The one who works harder, performs better.
14:31 We might not be able to do justice in life.
14:33 But there is a...
14:35 There's no question about it.
14:36 There is a person who does justice to everyone.
14:39 - It's a simple philosophy. - Did he ever complain to you
14:42 that he was being treated unfairly?
14:44 - In the team? - He was treated unfairly.
14:46 It's not like that. He was treated unfairly.
14:48 I would like to mention a few places
14:51 where he was not at fault.
14:53 The cricket board was at fault.
14:55 I will definitely mention that.
14:56 He was named in the U-19 World Cup team.
15:00 He was born on 10th August, 10th August, 1998.
15:06 When he was selected,
15:09 the cricket board misread his passport date.
15:13 - It was 8-10-98. - I see.
15:15 Two months before he left for New Zealand,
15:20 he was dropped before two days.
15:22 And he felt like...
15:24 I can't describe how he was crying.
15:26 I tried to explain to him.
15:28 I told him, "Azam, this was a step in your career.
15:30 This was a step in your destination.
15:34 You didn't leave the team by your own mistake.
15:38 - It was someone else's mistake. - Keep concentrating."
15:40 Two years ago, he was named in the World Cup team.
15:45 When Rameez Bhai took over as chairman,
15:48 they just thrown him out from the team.
15:52 - I don't know. - Did Rameez Bhai say anything?
15:54 No. I will give you a simple example.
15:57 - The team was selected. - Who were the selectors?
16:00 Mohd. Wasim and some coaches,
16:04 head coaches of the regions.
16:08 If there was a mistake, you will identify it.
16:12 Who made the mistake?
16:13 - It's not the player's fault. - It's like that.
16:16 You disheart them.
16:17 And that's why Azam feels a little disheartened.
16:21 Because he concentrates on playing cricket.
16:26 - "I will play like I did." - He is playing.
16:28 That's why I don't put pressure.
16:30 - The whole world calls him. - Absolutely.
16:32 - Not from my influence. - He is one of the most expensive players.
16:35 And he performed well in the last semifinals.
16:38 He won matches. He is a great player.
16:40 In T20 cricket, Azam is an impact player.
16:43 There is no two ways around it.
16:45 I think he has done well for himself.
16:47 - He is an international brand now. - He is.
16:48 He has become a brand.
16:49 I was watching his highlights.
16:51 He was singing songs while wicket-keeping.
16:54 He was holding the mic and the commentator was talking about him.
16:57 And it's interesting that...
16:59 I will share this.
17:00 We have played big matches in Mohin Khan Cricket Academy.
17:04 We have played with Shobis' team.
17:05 We have played big matches with Azam.
17:07 Azam's six is not a small six.
17:11 That six is a big six.
17:14 And the sound that comes from his bat is very scary.
17:18 Once I reached Fakhar Academy's office.
17:20 The office staff came to me.
17:22 "Congratulations, sir." I asked, "What happened?"
17:24 They said, "Azam scored a double century in T20 match."
17:27 I said, "Double century?"
17:29 I asked, "Which team was trapped?"
17:30 I said, "Some lame guys were playing."
17:34 The staff told me that he scored 265.
17:37 I couldn't believe it.
17:39 I asked, "What happened?"
17:40 He said, "It was a six-hitting rain. It was a 29-six."
17:43 - Wow. - Unbelievable.
17:45 - Incredible. - Yes.
17:46 - Let's talk about Azam. - Yes.
17:48 1992 World Cup.
17:50 A great World Cup in Pakistan's history.
17:52 You played under big captains.
17:53 Imran Khan was your captain in 1992.
17:55 You played in the 1992 World Cup.
17:57 There were big wicket-keepers.
17:59 - Ian Healy was there. - Yes.
18:01 Kiran More was there.
18:03 You had a huge lot of other wicket-keepers.
18:07 But you put up a stamp that Mohin Khan is here.
18:11 Yes, I was a little fortunate
18:13 that I got a chance under the leadership of Imran Khan.
18:16 And Wasim Khan.
18:17 They were my inspirations before joining the team.
18:20 They supported me a lot.
18:21 You get confidence
18:23 when your team's senior players start liking you.
18:26 They start depending on you.
18:28 I was fortunate to have such seniors
18:31 who were there to guide me.
18:33 I got a lot of confidence from them.
18:35 And I performed well in the World Cup.
18:38 You played a big role in the semi-final.
18:40 You played an important inning with Javed Mianzad
18:42 to win the semi-final.
18:43 And then we reached the final.
18:45 What do you remember about that?
18:46 When you reached the crease...
18:48 The story begins when I was sitting in the dressing room.
18:53 I was watching the match on TV.
18:54 I was stuck in the middle of the match.
18:56 They were batting really well.
18:58 I was sitting there and praying
19:00 that Pakistan is getting a chance to reach the final.
19:04 They are going to win the match.
19:05 I had only one prayer.
19:06 "May Allah bless Pakistan with victory."
19:08 "I am in the crease."
19:09 - Wow! - That prayer was answered.
19:12 And when I went to the crease to play for Javed,
19:14 you know, throughout the World Cup,
19:16 Javed was having some stomach problems.
19:20 Because of that, he was playing a little bit
19:23 - away from his nature. - Yes.
19:25 He was playing a lot of anchor role.
19:26 When I went, Javed told me, "You are fresh.
19:29 "You have strength. Try it.
19:32 "If you get a chance, I am not feeling so good.
19:35 "I will concentrate on singles."
19:36 When Javed gave me this license,
19:39 I said, "What's the big deal?"
19:40 "It's a matter of chance."
19:42 I was standing there. Chris Harris came from there.
19:44 I thought...
19:45 I stood there and saw this small boundary.
19:48 It looked like there was a boundary right next to me.
19:51 So I thought, "If I get a chance, I will score a goal here."
19:53 It's a matter of chance.
19:54 - Sometimes, what you think happens. - It's very important.
19:57 - Good things happen. - Assumption, you know.
19:59 Well done. What a great memory you gave
20:01 to all the cricket fans in Pakistan.
20:03 It's a very memorable memory.
20:04 Let's talk more about it.
20:05 Because you also played a big role in the 1999 World Cup.
20:10 We will talk about that. But after a short break.
20:14 (UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)
20:16 Another cup brought to you by Tapal Dhanedar.
20:21 We will continue our conversation with Mohin Khan.
20:24 We have refreshed our cups of tea.
20:26 Mohin, the 1992 World Cup was won.
20:30 You were in the winning squad.
20:31 You have a lot of memories with him.
20:33 You were a great runner.
20:36 Wasim, Rameez, you...
20:38 - Akib... - Moshi.
20:41 - Mushtaq... - Great Moshi, Ejaz.
20:44 What a great memory that was.
20:46 Under the captaincy of Imran Khan.
20:48 - And then the crystal trophy. - Yes.
20:51 How was the feeling?
20:53 - When you reached the hotel... - Two nights...
20:56 What did you do at the hotel?
20:58 - Tell us the truth. - Tell us the truth.
21:00 - We had food. - You should have slept.
21:02 You should have slept. Let me finish.
21:05 We stayed awake for two nights.
21:07 Seriously.
21:11 - Okay. - We stayed awake for two nights.
21:14 We couldn't sleep at all.
21:17 We were excited about winning the match.
21:20 When we took a lap on the ground,
21:22 everyone was excited about changing careers.
21:26 It was the turning point of our careers.
21:27 We would become our own homes.
21:30 Maybe the Pakistan government would applaud us.
21:32 It was a big thing. We had a lot of discussions.
21:34 We couldn't sleep because of the excitement.
21:37 We were waiting for the Pazirai in Pakistan.
21:40 We were desperate to reach there.
21:43 It was a coincidence that we had to stay in Melbourne
21:48 for two days after the World Cup final.
21:50 - Imagine how desperate we were. - We reached Pakistan in a hurry.
21:54 We have great memories of reaching there.
21:59 We landed in Pakistan and got the Pazirai in Lahore.
22:02 - Yes. - We were in the airport.
22:04 - We were in the airport. - I remember that.
22:06 - We saw the images in the media. - We crossed the Mall Road in 4.5 hours.
22:13 We went to the Darbar and prayed.
22:17 - It's one of the best memories we have. - Yes.
22:20 We won the T20 World Cup in 2009.
22:24 We won the Champions Trophy.
22:25 - It's a special memory of the 1992 World Cup. - Yes.
22:30 Then you kept playing for Pakistan.
22:31 You were fantastic. You delivered over and over again.
22:35 Then came the 1999 World Cup.
22:37 You were in the captaincy of Wasim Akram.
22:40 I want to ask you something.
22:41 The way you played cricket in 1999,
22:44 the way you played with the strike rate of 110 in the ODI,
22:51 how did you manage to play like that?
22:54 Even today's players of our team are not able to play like that.
22:58 - What's the reason? - I was very determined.
23:00 Because I was out of the 1996 World Cup.
23:04 Rashid had participated in that.
23:06 I was desperate to come back in 1999.
23:10 The turning point in my career was the 1996 England Tour.
23:15 In 1992, as a wicketkeeper batsman, I was out of the tour.
23:20 The performance was not good after winning the World Cup.
23:24 Then Rashid came and he started performing.
23:26 I had a passion to miss my place.
23:32 Then I started hard work.
23:34 I found my mistakes and put in a lot of effort.
23:37 In 1996, during the England Tour,
23:39 I went as the second wicketkeeper.
23:42 I had in mind that I would be the number one wicketkeeper.
23:45 I got the chance in the second test match.
23:47 Unfortunately, Rashid got unfit after the last test match.
23:53 - I got a chance and scored 100 in that comeback. - I know.
23:56 I was supposed to go to the Sahara Cup.
23:59 I was named in the World Cup.
24:01 - I carried that team till 1999. - I know.
24:05 The things you just mentioned...
24:07 I think I was in a very positive frame of mind.
24:12 I was very established as a player.
24:15 My confidence level was very high.
24:17 Wasim had made our strategy.
24:21 I was the vice-captain.
24:23 We had a mutual understanding.
24:27 We had to see off the new ball.
24:31 We had to put Raza up.
24:33 Azhar Mehmood, Wasim and I had to take care of the last 10 overs.
24:38 We had a strategy of that.
24:41 When I used to bat, I used to come early in most of the matches.
24:44 I also came late in most of the matches.
24:46 - You got a chance to... - The platform was set.
24:50 We had clarity in our mind.
24:52 We got a chance and we scored.
24:55 It was a memorable inning.
24:57 The most memorable inning is known to the world.
25:00 It was a short and crips, 11 ball 31 runs.
25:03 Against Australia and Leeds.
25:05 Someone hit Glenn McGrath sixes for the first time.
25:08 - Yes. - He became very famous.
25:09 You must have been very happy
25:12 - that you had hit Glenn McGrath sixes. - Absolutely.
25:16 He used to make everyone's life difficult.
25:20 - That's very good. - Yes.
25:21 And then, from 1999 World Cup finals,
25:26 then started your new chapter in your life.
25:28 Captain of the Pakistan cricket team.
25:31 You had a great journey.
25:33 - You had won a lot of matches. - Yes.
25:36 - We won the Asia Cup in your captaincy. - Yes.
25:40 We won the ODI in West Indies.
25:42 - Yes. - Test matches, unfortunately.
25:44 - We won the Coco Cola Cup in Sharjah. - Yes.
25:47 - You had won against South Africa. - Yes.
25:49 - Against India. - Yes.
25:50 You had a great captaincy.
25:53 Who do you credit for your captaincy?
25:57 Do you credit all the captains you have played under?
25:59 - You have played many captains. - Yes.
26:01 First of all, great Imran Khan.
26:03 And then, Waseem Bhai taught me a lot as captain.
26:07 He used to listen.
26:09 He used to talk with the senior players.
26:12 You must remember his initial captaincy.
26:15 - He was revolted against them in 1994. - Yes, it was tough.
26:17 Then he also learned from his mistakes.
26:20 The kind of captaincy he has shown, he has formed a team with youngsters.
26:24 That is very important.
26:25 You can call a senior player in a team,
26:31 and there are youngsters under him, who can create energy.
26:34 And that was our success till the final of 1999.
26:39 - It was a very young team. - Right.
26:41 You must remember that Waqar, Salim Malik and Mushi were not playing.
26:46 - Correct. - And Muhammad Yusuf was not in the XI.
26:49 It was a very strong and big team.
26:51 I think as a captain, I made a comeback with Salim Malik as captain.
26:57 He taught me a lot. He was a very sharp-minded captain.
27:01 He used to tell me when to change the ball, who to bring, field setting.
27:04 Strategically and tactically, Javed Bhai was very smart.
27:09 So, naturally, I got a lot of inspiration from him as a captain.
27:12 And my history, Fakhar, is that I have learnt captaincy at every level.
27:17 You can say that PCB groomed me as a captain.
27:21 In 1995, when I was 25, I was given the captaincy.
27:25 And in 1999-2000, I was given the captaincy again after five years.
27:30 Unfortunately, in 1995, I was a captain in Sharjah.
27:35 I had a chicken pox. I had to come back.
27:37 - Right. - So, I lost my captaincy.
27:39 Didn't you get it a little late? It's a childhood disease.
27:43 Why did you get it so late?
27:44 - This disease... - How did you get it?
27:47 Did you do any research on how you got it?
27:51 - Don't comment on it. - I didn't comment on it.
27:54 It's your own hole. Don't dig it.
27:56 Because I was wondering who got it.
27:59 I didn't say anything. I'm sorry. I didn't say anything.
28:03 This is the amazing thing. When you have tea with your friends,
28:06 you forget a lot of things that shouldn't be forgotten.
28:08 - My family was always there. - You covered it well.
28:12 - Always. - You pushed it a little after the beat.
28:15 You said it beautifully.
28:19 What is your best memory as a wicketkeeper?
28:23 As a wicketkeeper, behind the...
28:24 - Do you remember any spell? - No.
28:26 Any catch or stumping that you remember?
28:29 There are two matches that people in Pakistan don't know about.
28:34 One they know, one they don't.
28:36 One is in '91, we played the Sharjah Cup.
28:38 That was against West Indies.
28:40 It was my third match for ODI.
28:45 I kept the ball and caught four catches.
28:48 Two catches down the leg.
28:50 Two were on the ball of Vakarjunu and two were normal catches.
28:54 But the two important catches on the ball of Vakarjunu
28:57 were literally on the leg side.
29:00 I dived in the second to third slip because I was in the flow.
29:03 I saw the ball and it was a Ghaslogi catch.
29:05 - I dived in for a long time. - I remember that.
29:07 - It was a very far catch. - Very far.
29:09 - I remember that catch very well. - Okay.
29:11 Ghaslogi was the shortest player in that West Indies camp.
29:14 And he had a lot of short balls.
29:16 But I remember that catch.
29:18 - Because that went really far. - Yes, it was very far.
29:20 It was a similar catch to Asif Mushtaq's
29:22 that Jeffrey Dujon caught in the GX side.
29:25 - In Karachi Test match. - Karachi Test match.
29:27 - Malcolm Marshall's ball. - Yes, Malcolm.
29:28 It was the exact replica of that.
29:31 Although, Jeffrey Dujon was much taller and longer than you.
29:34 But I remember that catch.
29:35 And in that same match, I caught a great Brian Lara's catch.
29:38 A one-handed catch on the right side.
29:40 He flicked it too.
29:42 Imran Khan had given a statement on it.
29:44 "Mohin was simply best."
29:45 That was the heading.
29:46 "Mohin was simply best."
29:49 - Wow. - I got a lot of inspiration.
29:50 And you must remember that 1996 match.
29:53 A great win against West Indies
29:57 in the Carlton and United final.
29:59 Wasim Bhai was the captain.
30:00 We defeated West Indies in two consecutive finals.
30:03 In that match, Brian Lara's catch on a Shaheen Nazir ball
30:06 was a great one.
30:07 Wasim Bhai's catch on Chander Paul's ball was great.
30:10 I caught four catches in that match too.
30:12 Those are my memories as a wicketkeeper.
30:15 I remember those two matches.
30:18 And people liked it a lot.
30:20 These were the catches that you caught on the field.
30:22 We'll talk about the catches that you caught off the field.
30:27 Keep watching.
30:29 Another cup brought to you by Tapal Dhanedar.
30:36 Mohin Khan is with us.
30:38 We were talking about the catches that you caught on the field.
30:40 I was saying that the catches that you caught and dropped off the field.
30:43 Is Mohin Khan a romantic man?
30:45 Yes.
30:47 How romantic is he?
30:48 I am so romantic that I got married at 23.
30:53 Fair enough.
30:54 Fair enough. I'll give you that.
30:55 So, who caught whose catch?
30:58 Your wife or your wife's?
31:00 No, you know that the catch is that girls are a little shy.
31:04 - Before marriage. - How did you talk to your wife?
31:07 How did you meet your wife for the first time in your life?
31:10 How did you talk to her?
31:11 When I met her, I asked her, "How are you?"
31:13 "How are you?"
31:14 For God's sake.
31:16 What kind of a question is this?
31:18 - It was just a lighter note. - I know.
31:21 But do you remember?
31:23 Do you have any memory of the first time you saw each other?
31:25 Yes.
31:26 I was at my brother's wedding.
31:27 My younger sister invited me.
31:29 We met there.
31:30 - I saw her for the first time. - Okay.
31:32 And after that...
31:33 I don't remember exactly what we talked about.
31:36 - But... - I can tell by your face that you are a romantic man.
31:39 You don't remember exactly what happened there.
31:41 But you heard and saw it.
31:44 But okay.
31:44 Who is the boss at home?
31:46 Is it your wife or you? Or is it Azam?
31:47 - Is it Azam? - The boss at home is my wife.
31:50 - She is my wife. - Is it a universal truth?
31:53 - Is it true? - I think it's a good thing.
31:55 It's a universal truth. You said it honestly.
31:57 The boss at home is my wife.
32:00 It's a good thing.
32:01 You make tea at home.
32:03 Your wife asks you to make tea.
32:04 I don't make tea.
32:06 I have some people who make it for me.
32:10 But I love cooking.
32:12 - So sometimes... - I know. I want to...
32:14 - You love cooking. - I love cooking.
32:17 - Barbecue, grill... - Yes.
32:19 You love grilling lobsters.
32:21 How did you get into this hobby?
32:23 I think I got this from my father.
32:26 Because my father used to have get-togethers at home on weekends.
32:31 All his family members used to have get-togethers.
32:34 It was difficult for him to manage.
32:37 So on weekends or every fortnight,
32:40 he used to barbecue at home.
32:42 He used to light a fire and cook kebabs.
32:47 It was a great inspiration for me.
32:49 I didn't just learn to cook from him.
32:53 - But I got into this hobby... - It's a family thing.
32:56 - It's a family thing. - Yes.
32:58 - It's amazing. - That's how I got into it.
33:00 I still enjoy it.
33:03 You're a fun-loving person.
33:04 You're also interested in music.
33:07 - Yes. - Do you play an instrument?
33:10 I don't play an instrument. But I love listening to music.
33:13 - You love listening to music. - Yes.
33:16 All our friends have told us. We know everything.
33:18 You don't know where we are.
33:20 We are always watching you.
33:22 - And we are always watching you. - We are always watching you.
33:25 - Okay. - Right?
33:26 What's your favourite song?
33:28 - Favourite song? - Pakistani or new?
33:31 I've always loved Tahseen Bhai's songs.
33:34 - Which one? - "Dil Ho Gaya Tera Diwana".
33:36 - "Dil Ho Gaya Tera Diwana". - Sing a little.
33:38 - "Dil Ho Gaya Tera Diwana" - Wow.
33:42 - Wow. - "Ab Koi Jachta Nahi"
33:46 - Wow. - Okay, sir.
33:47 You are romantic.
33:49 It's confirmed that you are romantic.
33:51 You have said a great thing.
33:54 I'll tell you a story related to this song.
33:57 When this song became famous, Tahseen Bhai shifted to America.
34:02 When he returned to Pakistan,
34:04 he was sitting on a channel and his morning show was going on.
34:07 - Interview. - He mentioned that
34:09 Mohin is a good friend of his.
34:10 I got a call from the channel that Tahseen Javed is live with us.
34:14 I asked him if he likes any of his songs.
34:17 I sang this song and he said he liked it.
34:19 I asked him who he remembers after singing this song.
34:22 He said, "Of course, our great actress Neeli and Javed Sheikh."
34:26 He asked me this question.
34:29 He asked me this question randomly.
34:30 I said, "Neeli and Javed Sheikh? Who else?"
34:33 What happened after that? Tell me about your family.
34:38 - Nothing happened at home. - You had an interrogation.
34:40 - Interrogation. - Interrogation.
34:42 "You sing this song. Who do you remember?"
34:44 "Neeli and Javed Sheikh. You fit them in the middle."
34:46 "Javed Sheikh had nothing to do with it."
34:49 "You fit them in the middle."
34:51 - But he was in films. - That is true.
34:53 - What a song. - What a song.
34:55 What a song. One of the...
34:57 We have many songs in music that are still...
35:02 - People... - There are many singers who sing it.
35:03 - There are many. - There are many.
35:05 You know, Mohin, everything you said,
35:08 everything I am hearing,
35:10 the way you told us about your father,
35:12 what was your relationship with him,
35:14 what did you learn from him?
35:16 How did you point out your son
35:19 when he was dropped from the World Cup?
35:20 How did you explain to him that it was a step in cricket?
35:24 Or how did you spend your career as a captain?
35:27 You played under so many captains.
35:29 When you were playing as a captain,
35:30 - many captains were playing under you. - Yes.
35:32 And it's very difficult to handle so many people.
35:35 And then I look at your record.
35:36 As a captain, I look at your record.
35:38 You have brought us so much success.
35:40 - So well done to you, man. - Thank you.
35:42 - Really well done to you. - Thank you.
35:43 And I am very happy that you had tea with me today.
35:46 - Now, I have a trivia for you. - Yes, please.
35:48 The trivia is from Tapaal Dhanedar on another cup.
35:51 I have some questions for you, Mohin.
35:54 These are not about you and your old lovers.
36:00 - No. - It's less in cricket.
36:03 - It's more in showbiz. - Right?
36:07 Okay. You say it.
36:08 - So, this is a trivia about Mohin Khan. - Right.
36:11 Let's see how much you know about yourself.
36:13 - Oh, God! - Okay.
36:14 - Okay? - Yes.
36:15 Okay.
36:16 Which other international cricketer made his debut in the same match as you?
36:21 - Saeed Anwar. - Yes. Well done.
36:26 Three batters with the highest number of ODI runs in a career without a hundred are Pakistanis.
36:31 You are number three with 3,266 runs.
36:37 Can you name the other two?
36:38 - Who are the other two? - Without a century.
36:42 There are three batters in Pakistan who have made runs in ODI but not a century.
36:47 You are one of them. But who are the other two?
36:51 It's a difficult question.
36:54 You tell me.
36:56 - One is Wasim Akram. - Oh, yes.
36:59 - And the other is Misbah Ul Haq. - Misbah Ul Haq.
37:00 Misbah... You know, for somebody who has been such a great batsman
37:04 to not have a century in ODI, that speaks volumes of not his batting ability
37:10 but the tragedy that surrounded him.
37:13 Whenever he was batting, he was collapsing.
37:15 - He was in a crisis. - Yes, he was in a crisis.
37:17 You know, so...
37:18 Okay, you currently hold the record for the fifth highest number of dismissals in ODI cricket.
37:23 - Yes. - In ODI cricket?
37:26 Yes.
37:27 - He is at the fifth number. How many? - It's 258, I think. Or 257.
37:31 You take yourself very lightly.
37:34 - Why? Is it too much? - 287, brother.
37:36 - Oh, sorry. 287. - 287.
37:38 - Yes, yes. Absolutely. - Who dismissed you in your last test match appearance for Pakistan?
37:42 Sachin.
37:44 - I remember that story. - Okay.
37:47 - I remember that story. - Sachin Chamindawas.
37:49 - Chamindawas. That's true. - Yes.
37:51 From Sri Lanka. Chamindawas.
37:52 You captained Pakistan to the 2000 Asia Cup trophy.
37:56 - You won the Asia Cup trophy in 2000. - Yes.
37:57 - It was your first time. - Yes.
37:59 Who was the player of the match in that final against Sri Lanka?
38:02 - I think he is sitting in front of you. - Yes. Mohit Khan.
38:05 Your last T20 appearance was for Karachi Dolphins in the final of the domestic T20 tournament in 2005.
38:12 Who dismissed you in that innings?
38:14 I think I came out on 49.
38:17 I got out. It must have been Saeed Ajmal.
38:19 - Absolutely. - Absolutely.
38:20 - And before that, he didn't have his international cricket debut. - No.
38:24 He dismissed you then.
38:25 How many test 100s did you score in your career?
38:27 How many centuries did you score in test match?
38:29 - Four. - Four.
38:30 - You are right. You are right. - Yes.
38:32 You captained Pakistan in 13 tests. How many did you lose?
38:35 You captained Pakistan in 13 tests. How many did you lose?
38:38 I think I lost three.
38:41 - If I am not wrong. - You really take yourself very lightly.
38:43 - I lost two. - You lost three.
38:45 - Well done. - I remember I lost one from West Indies
38:48 and one from England.
38:50 You know, that's a very impressive test record, by the way.
38:53 - Yes. - I have to give it to you.
38:55 Best travel partner in the world?
38:57 I have to give it to you.
38:58 Who is your best travel partner?
39:00 My wife is my best travel partner.
39:04 I have travelled the world with her.
39:06 But if you ask me about a team,
39:08 I have always enjoyed travelling with my entire group.
39:13 Especially, Mushtaq Ahmed, Inzamam Ul Haq,
39:16 - Wasim Bhai, Ijaz Bhai. - Excellent.
39:18 Who are the future stars in your opinion, apart from Azam?
39:22 - Saeem Ayub is playing very well. - Very good.
39:25 He is one of the players who has a vision,
