From his humble beginnings in Bandra to becoming the highest run-scorer in Ranji Trophy history, Wasim opens up about the struggles and triumphs that defined his career. He discusses the influence of his father, a BEST bus driver who dreamed of seeing his son play for India, and the sacrifices his brother made to help him succeed. Wasim also shares fascinating anecdotes about playing against a teenage Sachin Tendulkar in school cricket, the intimidating Mumbai dressing room atmosphere, and his perspective on the Greg Chappell era.
