2. “Come round the wicket and first ball I’ll hit you for a six.”- Chennai, 2008
The incident happened when he hit the triple century against South Africa in Chennai.
“I was batting on 291 at Chepauk, against South Africa. I told Paul Harris(South African spinner):”Come round the wicket and the first ball I’ll hit you for a six. He accepted my challenge and the very first ball I hit him for a straight six, and there was a long-off, long-on, deep midwicket and a deep point. I was so tired and he was bowling on the pads and I was getting bored. So rather than spending 10-15 minutes to get to the triple-century I gave him good advice.”
