Why Inzamam suffered a two match ban?
Reportedly former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis revealed that Inzamam-ul-Haq was infuriated more by the inappropriate comments directed towards Mohammad Azharuddin’s wife than the “aaloo” chants in 1997 Sahara Cup clash between india and Pakistan. Inzamam had lost his cool during a match between india and pakistan in Sahara Cup when he nearly ended up beating a fan with a bat.
Waqar Younis said on ‘The Greatest Rivalry’ podcast. "You know we used to play hard on the field, but when it comes to the friendship, we used to really look out for each-others' back," Waqar said. "And what happened was because someone was really being rude to Azza's wife and Inzi just, I don’t know what happened to be very honest, he just decided, he asked, I think Saleem Malik was captain [Ramiz raja was the pakistan skipper]. He asked Saleem to move him to that fine-leg third-man region, and that's where he went. And he just asked for the 12th man to bring the bat, and he just gave it to him, and he just ran up the stairs in the scaffolding and brought it down."
Inzamam suffered a two match ban and was presented to the court later for his actions. The former pakistan quick said "It was sad and it was ugly what happened, but what I'm trying to say here, is you know when it comes to watching each other's back, both teams have people or players who really love each other's company."
