Pakistanis and their love for cricket is a story that is not unknown to the world. Even though the country’s national game is hockey, there is no doubt that cricket reigns supreme in Pakistan’s sports culture.

Over the last 70 years, Pakistan has produced some extremely talented sportsmen, especially cricketers. From the times of Hanif Muhammad and Javed Miandad to Wasim-Waqar and the current team under Sarfraz Ahmed’s leadership, there is no limit to the talent-pool of Pakistan cricket.

One cricketer, however, found fame a little late in his career. Saeed Ajmal, the legendary Pakistani off-spinner, has finally announced his retirement from international cricket. Ajmal, who once topped all three formats of cricket as the number 1 bowler in the world, will not be taking part in any event after the current National T20 Tournament ends.

Saeed Ajmal, famous for his ‘doosra’ and ‘teesra’ deliveries, is renowned all over the world, not just Pakistan. Ajmal’s retirement has not just saddened Pakistanis, but the love for his talent is being poured over from across the border as well.

On a social media article on Saeed Ajmal uploaded by ESPN, friendly neighbors from India paid tribute to his services. This is how they reacted to the news of Ajmal’s retirement:

Not only did the Indian fans pay tribute to Saeed Ajmal, but many were of the opinion that the ICC’s ban on Ajmal, forcing him to change his action, brought about the end to his career. Saeed Ajmal, who is now 40-years-old, plans to retire at the end of the month.

Ajmal’s legacy will be remembered by every Pakistani. His humble character, the smile on his face, the ball in his hands and on to the stumps, everything about his game was perfect. A gentleman on and off the pitch. Here’s to remembering his knee-down appeals for a plumb LBW, “Howzaaaaaat?”
