Re: Hindus vs Muslims Cricket Tournament
DAWN writes the following about K C Ibrahim's performance in the FINALS of the above-mentioned tournament :
In 1944, Ibrahim played an unforgettable innings that will forever dominate his legacy. Set a fourth innings target of 298, he carried his bat for 137 not out and saw his team home with one wicket to spare.
It was the final of the fabled Bombay Pentangular, contested by Muslims versus Hindus in the fiercely partisan climate of 1940s India.
“It was an innings motivated by an indomitable spirit,” wrote Pakistan’s first captain, Abdul Hafeez Kardar, of that performance which had a demoralizing effect on opposition morale, as dramatic as Javed Miandad’s 1986 sixer-ending knock at Sharjah.
