I intentionally wanted to hit Sachin in that match (Karachi Test, 2006). I was determined that I had to injure Sachin in that Test at any cost,&#8221; Akhtar said during an interaction on Sportskeeda.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Inzamam kept saying that bowl in front of the wickets, but I wanted to hit Sachin. So, I hit him on his helmet and I thought he&#8217;s gone, he&#8217;ll die. But when I watched the video, I saw Sachin had managed to save his head,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Akhtar further revealed that while he continued to target Sachin, pacer Mohammad Asif troubled Indian pacers with his clinical bowling.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I again tried to injure him. On other side, Indian batting was facing the music in the shape of Asif. I had rarely seen anyone bowl as well as Asif had bowled on that particular day,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD \u2013 June 6 (ONLINE) Pakistan former speedster Shoib Akhtar has revealed that he wanted to \u201cinjure\u201d Indian batting great Sachin Tendulkar through his fierce pace bowling during 2006 Karachi test.
