The Indian cricket team toured Pakistan in 2004 and played a Test series against Pakistan. The first match of the series was held in Multan from 28 March to 1 April. In this match, the Indian team performed brilliantly and won the match by an innings and 52 runs.

What happened after its announcement? :

In the first innings of this match, Virender Sehwag scored 309 runs and Sachin Tendulkar scored 194 runs. In this match, it was expected that Sachin Tendulkar would complete a double century while Sehwag scored a triple century.

Rahul Dravid's announcement to stop Sachin Tendulkar from scoring a double century became a topic of much discussion. Now what happened in the Indian team 20 years after that announcement? Opener Aakash Chopra, who was playing in the Indian team at that time, shared some views about this.

Regarding this, he said, I was with the players of the Indian team during that match. After the declaration was over, no one spoke much. Some conversation continued between the senior players. I was a very young player then, so I could not join that conversation.

Sachin never gets angry. Even after that incident, I saw that he was not angry but very disappointed. During that match, while Dravid was the captain, Ganguly was also in the dressing room. He could not play in that match due to injury. I think Ganguly was also a reason behind Dravid's decision.

But that decision was not the captain's personal decision. It would be a decision taken by senior players and coaches. After the match ended in four days, Dravid said, Aakash Chopra said that he regrets that if he had known that the match would end in four days, he would not have announced it.
