Sachin, Ash, SRK, Taj Mahal...

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal"><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">LAHORE:</span> "If Aishwarya Rai or Preity Zinta come for the match, ask them to come and meet me," said Yasir Hameed. <br /><br />That was Saturday and the euphoria of man-of-the-match show in Peshawar was still in the air. Sunday was different. <br /><br />Yasir scored a clean 45, was set for more when he let adrenalin get the better of him.In trying to deposit Murali Kartik somewhere near Wagah border he was out stumped. "It was a bad shot. I was embarrassed. Inzy bhai was understandably livid at me," he told <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">TNN </span>after the match on Sunday. <br /><br />Yasir says he is beginning to understand what is expected of him. "Cricket is a learning curve. If you ask Sachin Tendulkar, even now he’d be learning something or the other. That innings in Peshawar has unlocked something in me. I think I can construct an innings better. That was the best knock of my career so far," he said. <br /><br />Yasir, whose late father was an advocate, feels you should have targets. "Like my targets are both short term and long term. My short term goal is to get at least a 50 every two innings and in long term a 1000 runs in both forms of the game,� he said. <br /><br />He admires Sachin Tendulkar for his balance and likes Rahul Dravid for his ability to concentrate for long hours. <br /><br />"Sachin is my favourite cricketer but I still try to pick the best aspects of everyone’s game. Coach Javed Miandad whose brain I try to pick for many little things. He is a great mind. For instance, when I got out the other day to Irfan Pathan in Peshawar, Javed bhai was gesturing from the dressing-room that he’d bowl a slower ball. But I didn’t see him and Irfan bowled just that," Yasir recalled. <br /><br />For Yasir, India means Sachin Tendulkar and Taj Mahal. I just know about these two things besides Bollywood. Love the movies." Aishwarya, Preity didn’t come, he was told. <br /><br />"OK, I like Shahrukh as well. Is he around?" asks Yasir with a wink.</div> </div>
