The legend — famous for his last-ball six against India in the final of the Austral-Asia Cup in 1986 — was taken to the medical facility after he "suddenly collapsed", sources told Geo News. As news broke out of Miandad being admitted to a hospital, the former cricketer released a video message and told fans that his illness was "not serious". “I heard that people were worried about my health but I would like to clarify that I only came to the hospital for a checkup after a mild headache,” Miandad said. “There is nothing to worry about and I will go back home soon,” he added.

The Karachi-born made his ODI debut in 1975 but received his Test cap a year later. He brought the curtain down on his international career in 1996 after alleging that his skills were not properly utilised during the World Cup that year.

Tauseef's memory is sharper, and in it, he inverts what Miandad wrote in his autobiography. Perhaps his children believe him. 'I told Javed when I came out that we simply had to take a run no matter what, even if the ball went to the wicketkeeper. Javed asked me whether I was sure, and I said we don't have a chance otherwise.' So Tauseef bunted towards cover and ran. Mohammad Azharuddin, one of the world's best fielders, ran in, picked up and missed the stumps from no more than four feet. Then came the mid-pitch conference. 'He came to me and asked me, "What do you think he'll try to do?''' continues Tauseef. 'I said he'll definitely go for a yorker. Javed said, "Yes, and that means it could also become a full toss if he doesn't get it right." In any case, Javed was standing out of his crease a little.' Finally, the man from Reuters asked: 'Chetan bhai, tell us one thing… what were you…' Sharma interrupted. He knew this question. He had probably answered it to himself a million times over. 'Arrey yaar, I just wanted to bowl a yorker.' He wanted to, but he didn't. After the mid-pitch chat, Miandad stood at his wicket looking around the field. He needed four somewhere. He counted fielders around the ground--perhaps hoping it had swallowed a few--and took guard. Had Miandad successfully petitioned God for the ideal delivery, he could not have conjured up a better one; a thigh-high full toss, swinging in to his legs. He put it somewhere in the region of the stands at midwicket...
