Sachin Tendulkar not only played a crucial innings but also a smart role too in getting the important wicket of Michael Vaughan in the second innings when the English skipper single-handedly attempted to thwart India's effort for victory.
Though Vaughan will considered himself unfortunate, as the ball after hitting his pad gently rolled onto the stumps, it was Tendulkar's advice to keep bowling to Vaughan round the stumps that finally clicked and triggered a batting collapse for England.
"It was Sachin's advice to bowl to him round the stumps and it got the crucial wicket," bowling coach Venkatesh Prasad revealed after India coasted to victory by seven wickets in the second Test on Tuesday.
"Zaheer has been bowling consistently throughout the match and, especially, he was bowling round the stumps to Vaughan which got him out," Prasad said.
