Saleem Malik on a TV interview.
“In one of the Tests, the wickets were falling all around me but I was the only one batting very well. I was the top scorer. After I was dismissed, everyone applauded my innings, except for the captain, Imran Khan. He, in fact, was very mad with me. I was surprised and asked him why he was upset with me. He said, ‘all of us were having difficulty batting on that pitch but you were the only one who was reading the pitch very well, and playing confidently; then why did you play such a bad shot to get out. You had lots of responsibility on your shoulders, but you failed to deliver. Had you continued to bat, we would have saved the Test. You cost us the match.”
When you are in a privileged position, it brings a great deal of responsibility.
