00:00Travel back to an era when cricket breathes patience and class.

00:04This rare footage opens up the window into 1979, where Asifik Pals stitched together

00:10a resilient 64 runs from 122 balls, battling through 150 minutes of pure test match crit.

00:18He was not just scoring runs, he was absorbing pressure, threading six neat boundaries and

00:23unleashing one towering six that lifted the innings at a crucial moment.

00:28Yes, the footage carries the wrinkle of time, black and white soft frames, and that unmistakable

00:34vintage texture.

00:36But for true lovers of cricket heritage, that's the magic.

00:39It's a reminder of a time when technique was hero, temperament was the armor, and everyone

00:45had a story.

00:46So let's dive into this tired throwback and relive Asifik Pals old school craftsmanship

00:52and innings carved in the heart of Delhi's second test December 1979.

00:58We had to enjoy cricket the way our heroes once played it, slow, steady and full of soul.

01:05We're going straight back to Dola and Dali will give up the chase as it's going to the

01:11Longhorn Boundary, square runs, lovely on drive.

01:14Asif moving into that hard valley, straight dweller, soft point.

01:19The front square track going towards the boundary, crosses the rope now, 4 runs, the lovely

01:29I'm going to start for March, this is a square-cut, that's all, the 5-5 P.S. comes, and see, are they going to get one for an overthrow? No.

01:38Square-cut again, and this time, Gavri, he may be able to get better. No, he doesn't. Four runs.

01:46A leap there by Gavri, and a reach to the goal, may have done the trick, but a...

01:51...on driven, and that is the hundred of the partnerships between Asif and Raja.

02:03What a fine partnership, invaluable partnership it's to be.

02:11Now, since Square-cut's magnificent here, it's going out to the point behind the end, it's going to be four runs, Gavri won't cut it off.

02:17What a beautiful shot by Asif Iqbal, and there's Gavri picking it up, and that's the two hundred of the touchdown innings.

02:24Now, it is the fall of Asif's wicket, the new ball has been taken, and Gavri is the bowler.

02:34And now, watch Wengsalkar at second pitch, he's the one who picked the catch.

02:39Asif's going to Square-cut, there, and Wengsalkar, just out of the picture,

02:46is taking a very good catch, travelling hard and high to his right.

02:52And there is Raja Raja Green, congratulated by the Indian fielder.

02:55So that was the end of Asif Iqbal, from 64, he could only add one run,

03:01and the end of a very fine 130-run partnership between Raja and Asif.

03:09Asif Iqbal presence at the crease always carried a sense of calm authority.

03:15He belonged to a generation of past men who valued rhythm, judgment, and quiet confidence over flamboyance.

03:22What separated him from many of his contemporaries was his ability to read the flow of a match and adjust his game without ever looking hurried.

03:31He had a rare blend of balance and footwork, moving into strokes with a natural fluency that made even difficult conditions feels manageable.

03:41Beyond the scoreboard, his innings often reveal the heartbeat of Pakistan's batting mindset,

03:47measured, purposeful, and built on a solid cricketing instinct.

03:50For fans of classic test match artistry, revisiting Asif Iqbal batting is like opening a triad cricket album,

03:58full of intelligence, grace, and understanding of the game that still feels relevant decades later.
