LAHORE: Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir recently revealed that dismissing legendary Sachin Tendulkar was the most special moment of his international career.

The 32-year-old pacer announced his retirement from international cricket earlier this month, bringing an end to a 15-year international career that started in 2009. Amir announced his decision in a heartfelt note posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, following the footsteps of his compatriot Imad Wasim, who announced his retirement a day before. “After careful consideration, I have taken the difficult decision to retire from international cricket,” he posted. “These decisions are never easy but are inevitable.” “Representing my country has been and always will be the greatest honour of my life. I would sincerely like to thank the PCB, my family and friends and, above all, my fans for their continuous love & support.”

During a recent appearance on a sports talk show, Amir reminisced about taking the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar at the age of 17 during the ICC Champions Trophy in 2009. He described it as the most special moment of his career and shared that it took him a full three days to fully come to terms with the reality of having dismissed one of the greatest batters of all time. “Dismissing Sachin Tendulkar was the most special moment for me,” said Mohammad Amir. “I bowled to him only once in my life during the 2009 Champions Trophy in South Africa.” “I had seen him play cricket on TV and always used to think about how brilliant a batsman Sachin was... Bowling to Sachin Tendulkar was a big thing for me.” “For three days after his dismissal, I was not in my senses; I could not believe I had taken Sachin Paaji’s wicket.”
