I have been watching cricket for more than 50 years and I am yet to see a batsman more elegant than Azhar. VVS comes a close second.

One of the most stylish batsman of all time.

One of the great players.... Stylish n wristy.... He has huge fan following!

What a player Azharuddin remember Watching him play those days great to see always

Azhar ke jaisa stylish batsman aaj tak koi nahi hua aur sath me behtarin fielder bhi

He was all magic. Especially that last shot which brought his hundred off Pollock. Beautiful wrists.

The most stylish batsman till date. Azhar was a treat to watch

The most stylish batsman I have ever seen. Very classic and stylish indeed. Many happy returns to him ❤

Right from his debut I became Azher's fan and never happened watch cricket in stadium. But fortunately I had been to bangalore to attend my cousin brother marriage. On that day some body selling his ticket around 3pm. After watching 2 session and I purchased it to see the last session. As I entered the stadium I came to know that azher and kaif is playing and end of the day he was not out on 28 something. And next day he completed his last century I watched in TV. And that was my first and last visit to the stadium and at last fortunately watch him playing directly directly. And unfortunately azher's last international match.. I want see him always healthy wealthy and happy. Really a good person.

He deserved to play 100 tests but match fixing ended his career. He was one of the greatest fielders ever India had. Thanks for ur video.

अजहर और उनके खूबसूरत शॉट्स । कलात्मक बल्लेबाजी 🎉🎉

Azhar is the only Indian test player to score century in first and last test. He is the first batsman in world to score fifty half centuries in odis. First to cross 9000 odi runs Highest scoring Indian test batsman at number 5 batting position. (No other test batsman in india has scored 4000plus runs batting at number 5 position with an average of 48 and 16centuries. Azhar is the only one who has this record when batting at number 5batting position in tests) Azhar was the highest run and century maker in test cricket playing at number 5 position. And no other Indian player can play magnificiently as azhar after fall of 3 wickets in test matches. After azhars exit mj clarke misbah ul haq steve waugh and chaderpaul overtook him in this batting position . Very tricky batting position, number 5 . Highestodi catches in the world at the time of exit . Still and indian record. Only batsman to score three centuries in first three test. First Indian captain to lead india to 14 test victories First indian captain to lead india to 90odi wins. Worl drecord holder of fastest odi century in 1988 . Second fastest test century maker after kapil dev in 1996 Only middle order batsman produced by India who could score more than 20test centuries . Sachin dravid sehvag virat crossed this milestone after azhars exit . And in style and elegance he was matched only by david gower and mark waugh in his era . Laxman came later .

The cricket being played by Mohammad Àzharuddin is wristy having elegance skill attraction chrisma magic delight bravery timing and so on so forth.His shots were bookish (jisko hindi mein kitabi cricket kehte hain).He always played shots on the merit of the ball.He has shown the world as to how to play the speedy cricket. He played test matches as one -dayers and one-dayers as T-20 .It is the say of senior chhotu (gavaskar) that Azhar was gifted to find the way for the stroke whatever fielding the opposition lays for him down.It was impossible to stop Azhar from scoring the runs. Harsa Bhogle has once said that may there be any thing most beautiful than the stroke of Azhar. I don't know whether he sticks to his say even now. Herein India the cricket being played by Azhar is gold and of others is brass. Ab tum hundred centuries banao yaa hazaar Azhar ki eik century hi kaafi hai agar tum aqal rakhte ho to.

Love and enjoy Azhar's wonderful bating, magic captaincy and super fielding forever. We wish very happy birthday to our all time hero.we are from Sri Lanka. Many thanks for a nice video please upload full (ball by ball) video. Kk

When we were defeated at that time Azar stood at a lion I adore him most

Most coolest Cricketer in Subcontinent. Happy Birthday Azhar !! fans wishes from Sri Lanka.

Very elegant and stylish player......very wristy player....

Mohammed Azharuddin is great player.

I was there in the stadium...unforgettable..!!

Classic ya class kehte hain us cheez ko, us evnt ko , be it be a movie or a cricket match, jise jitni baar dekha jaye ,har baar utna hi maza aaye. Mohammad Àzharuddin ki yeh century bhi ek class thee.

Legend of cricket 🏏

Back thn no one stand a chance against this mighty South African team ..Well done Azer n kaif

No one in the world can play like this grt legend. May Allah bless you

I shall remain indebted to you for this precious upload. ❤

What a player he is MD azhar

Gold upload...wish we had a time machine certainly to at least change events that unfolded after this Test in Indian cricket 😢

In my School days, I loved Azhar more than Sachin...and all the Sachin fans in the school couldn't understand why...... Now I know why....I am a Fan of Beauty always, Not of Statistics.......

He was my first cricketing ❤ but he broke my ❤ alongwith all that 90s kid's who grew up with Sachin's golden era... still we ❤ u Azzu bhae

Pure talent ♥️

No one so far can show like his magic wrist..so elegance and stylish..😊😊

Never realised before today that Azhar and Kaif played a test together!

Azhar ka back foot me off the toe shot...lajawab hota tha...HBD azahrbhai

Happy birthday Azar... I was studying intermediate in his first test, made 3 centuries in first 3 tests... Great hitter in Benson &hedges tournament, Australia in 1986..very proud being hyderabadi❤

Most stylish in history

When on song ,he looked sublime and no one came close to his elegance ! It was so pleasing to watch him bat.Also,very aggressive striker.

Azharuddin was very nice batsman

Mark waugh, Laxman, Gower... nobody was close to Azhar elegance and aggression with so beautiful footwork and stroke

Great upload was in the stadium watching this live, had met him the previous evening as well. You got me nostalgic bro

Most stylish of all Indian batsmen. If he had the hunger for records like Tendulkar or Kohli, he would be among the top Indian batsmen among records, but he pkayed with flair & style like Pataudi or Vishwanath. He was the best fielder by a margin better than Kohli, Jadeja & Yuvraj.

I remember this game. It's a comeback 100 from him.

Azahar is the greate criket player & greate capt.in india.

He did not deserve to play only 100 matches rather he did deserve to play 110, 115 aur 120 test matches because when he was ousted from the team ( zabardasti) he was the most fit player in the team. His fitness was like the fitness of a 25 year boy.Azhar ke andar abhi bhi bahut cricket bachi thi. The cricket in him was a born talent. Aisa lagta tha ki wo cricket ke liye bana hai aur cricket uske liye bani hai. Azhar the legend the best captain of India. Thanks whatsoever.

Azhar' s elegance is something like condensed milk gently oozing out of a small hole of a container. A rare treat to watch indeed.

Lara, Azhar, Anwar, Kambli - the ones with the best grace

Azhar se man hi man jalne walon ko uske bahatareen records to chubhte hi thei lekin unhen Azhar ki best kaptani khaye ja rahi thi. Maze ki baat Yeh hai ki yeh sab kuch hone ke baad bhi Azhar ki best kaptaani ka record ab bhi wahin khada hai jahan tha . Mohammad Àzharuddin, the best captain in the cricket history of India, the legend. Patthar par khichin lakeer kabhi mit nahin sakti .

The achievements of Azhar are his classic batting fielding and his best captainship and a so called god of cricket (though no one can be the god in any department of the life).It was Azhar who brought sachin in opening and gave him chance by chance to make records and always indifferent of his own records,so the cradit goes to Azhar.He then(sachin)is the by product or derivative of Azhar 's achievements.As a matter of fact, what was sachin in himself, nayab (vi-captain) ofAzhar an assistant of Azhar for a long time and Azhar too granted him his best for his favour.Azhar and Sachin were like big and kid brothers respectively.But hell with the politicians and the public who divide us in the name of religion.Granted that Kapil is relatively a good human being and a fine cricketer but he too did not let Azhar to complete his century (actually the match was with Australia of world cricket championship.India ne pahle batting ki, senior chhotu, gavaskar,Sri kant aur Mohinder Amarnath ne apne apne centuries bali, yeh 1985 ki baat hai, Azhar us waqt one down aaya karta tha,qaaede se Azhar ko one down aana tha lekin Kapil Dev ji ne Azhar ko one down nahin bheja two down nahin bheja three down nahin bheja balki three down bhi nahin bheja aur khud aaye aur 42 run banakar chalte bane,tab kahin jakar Azharuddin aaye,four down.) Pitch batsman ke favour ki thee,run bahut teji se aur aasaani se ban rahe the, Azhar ne fatafat apna score 59*pe pahuncha diya aur India ka total score 600 ho gaya.Kapil Dev innings declare kar the.No. one chunke pitch batsman ke favour ki thi isliye kum se kum score match jeetne ke liye 650 hona chahiye tha.Aur huwa bhi yeh hi Australia match draw karne mein kamyab rahi.Ab kya kahein Kapil Daa to kum askum yeh nahin kar sakte ki woh Azhar ke century banne se rokein.Main yeh daave se kehta hoon ki agar India 650 pe innings declare karti to India ko yeh match jeetne koi nahin rok sakta tha aur Azhar ki century bhi ban jaati.Yani honey in the milk.Lekin wahan betha hoga na yeh senior chhotu (gavaskar),iski mojoodgi hi nahusat ki alamat hai.

He is a king of wrist magic

Azharuddin he is a great batsman

Happy birthday Azhar🎉 great captain

1989 Dec 1 india vs pakistan 3 test match Lahore . India were struggling 5 for 2. Azharuddin came to pich and fired all pakistan bowlers and india reaches 153 for 3 when azharuddin out . I am waiting to watch the innings for more than 35 years. Please provide highlights of azharuddin 77 runs .

My favourite player even in 2024

Dec 28 1987 Monday azharuddin scored 60 runs against west indies of power full bowling attack 3 test match Calcutta. I didn't watch the match in tv. Please provide highlights of azharuddin 60 runs. I am waiting to watch this innings for 37 years

Nobody can't follow his batting style, fantastic , fabulous , etc etc

Wrist work against spin awesome. Current gen players should get tips from him on how to play spin.

Azzu Sir ka batting dekhkar ek hi baat mann mein aa raha hai:: ' Bah ustad batting ka jadu dekhaiye ".❤❤

Always felt that he could have achieved more .He never realised his full potential

My heart beat azharuddin.my world

Happy birthday azzu Bhai

Many many returns of the happy birthday to MOHD AZHARUDDIN The most honest and sincere crickter and successful captain who played with very strong team he played for the team not for himself like gavaskar shastri Tendulkar and Kohli

Azharuddin scored 109 in second test match Faisalabad 1989 series against Pakistan. I am waiting for this Azharuddin innings for 34 years. please provide highligts of this innings

Happy birthday sir🌈🙏

Those who write first time watching Azhar and Kaif batting...no doubt their year of birth after 2000

All time best

4:36 - Shastri from commentry box - That is lazy elegance for you. What a shot that was of Donald's ball. Square drive. Elegance and art in motion ❤.

He was supremely talented. He would have served Indian cricket even more had he not involved in match fixing

He was Batting like a poet

Man with the golden wrist!

Md. Azharuddin was a genius of his time and a good captain also. Team India won a good number of test and one day matches when he played very well in the middle order position. He was successful as a change bowler but his world wide fame became a big cipher when he was proved guilty as a match fixer.

Happy birthday sir

Happy birthday ❤️

Only artist & Only beauty in the batting ❤

Legendary cricketer of India 🎉

Azhar is the best batsman of India

effortless batsman

This man had everything - grace, class, skill, poise, flair and a mighty fine temperament. Sad he fell victim to the vice of greed. Would've been talked about as an all time great had he played to the best of his ability

Thanks for the upload for the first time and this is the last test century by Azhar.

i don’t understand why these new players are not playing these fancy and stylish shots

Azhar ke records ko dekhye. Kya koi itne zabardast records holder match fix kar sakta hai and the judgement of High Court is final for this best captain of Indian cricket history.

Felt in love with Bollywood and lost everything very few knows it

Legendry cricketer in the all time top 10❤❤❤❤❤💜💙💛🧡💚💞💞💞

played 99 test, highest score 199 and 1st match scored century & last his match end with century

❤❤❤❤❤

Supper 👌👌👌

❤

surprised to know that kaif played with Azhar.

4:36 ❤❤❤

Happy birthday கேப்டன்

It was a useless century that came in losing cause but still can't blame as we used to be like current Pakistani fans who uses to celebrate centuries of Sachin,Azhar and Ganguly even after losing the match

He is thepowerbomb for southafric

He didn't knew that its last match 😅

Kya kaha jaye great batsman

Achhe log hain Kpil da, Bhaji ( kitna saaf dil hai is pyare se bhajji ka ), is tally mein aate hain Javagal Srinath, Venkatesh Prasad, Anil Kumble,Nayan Mongya ,Sorav Ganguly vaghera veghera.

Is century mein aisa lagta hai jese ki azhar ke haathon mein bat nahin balki jaadoo ki chhadi hi.

At that time he has the capacity to play one more year or two in test

Good stylish batsman But vulnerable on fast and bouncy pitches

2007 to 2024 till nw ipl it means Buy and sale players it means match also buy and sale it means players all including this games thanks a lot 1990 games and 1990 s all moveis

No one can replace wristy Mohammad Azhar.

Is century mey aisa lagta hai ki Azhar ki age 25 saal ho,kyi fitness thi Azhar ko jab team se zabardasti nikala tha.

Last test that azhar played ...

I have seen a match with Sachin and Azar. He is a class act. A phenomenon. But may be greed and nepotism spoiled his art. Not forgiven....a genius. Country first...then there were others to check and ask....why on Indian soil.
