At that time it needed a strong demonstration from his side to prove his skills; he strived hard, made an effort and proved it.

When you see at his record, he has 12,382 runs, 309 wickets in 412 one-day international games and 6,973 runs in 110 tests; that’s all what a cricket player could dream of at the end of his game-life.
