Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar recalled an incident where an Akhtar delivery had him ruled out of action for several months. I got hit in my rib cage in 2007. We were playing Pakistan in India and in the first over itself I got hit in the rib cage off a Shoaib Akhtar ball. It was quite painful. For a month and a half or two months, I was not able to cough or sleep on my tummy. But I continued playing like that, he said.
