mentioning the other‟s shows the close friendship of Mujtaba and Inzamam.
One day Inzamam‟s elder
brother Intezaar brought him to meet Mujtaba‟sfather‟s shop. At that time
Mujtaba was nearly 17 years old but Inzamam was younger.Inzamam was a shy and
reserved boy he was one such of a boy who never had more friends. Soon, Inzamam
and Mujtaba became good and fast friends.
Even as a kid Inzamam
would either hand out at his only sister‟s place here or at my home. When
everybody went to sleep Inzamam made the omelet‟s and Mujtaba prepared „rotis‟.Mujtaba
had still fresh memories that how they would often not go for sleep. At day
break they set up for the first „namaz‟ of the day. Intizam-ul-Haq who was the
father of Inzamam and he was the biggest spiritual leaders in Pakistan always
asked them how they were there so early. But they never told them the truth.
Inzamam was a keen
player of cricket. He would spend most of the day at the old Multan Stadium
practicing with his bat. Once Imran Khan visited there and noticed him and
praised him. He invited Inzamam to play Lahore cricket club. After a lot of
heartbreaking he joined the Lahore Club.He gave the Tremendous performance in
the semi-final against New Zealand and the 1992 World Cup. Which elevated
Inzamam to the peak of fame as a player. Entire Multan came out to meet him in
full strength at the airport. But Mujtaba didn‟t go. Now Inzamam was a
superstar and he was not sure if he would fit in with Inzamam‟s new life now.

motorcade near the shop, the young star came out and brought his friend to be
with him. There were pictures of two waving from the convoy. Being very
emotional, Mujtaba says that he has always been that kind of person. The fame
could never change him.But during the last a few years he began asserting him a
bit more. The match-fixing phase according to the people and the
responsibilities of captaincy compelled him to read thuse the best and the
worst thing about him, his tendency to just let things flow over him.
