Former India cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin says that out of his 30 international hundreds, he can barely miss 10 to 12 centuries but his 62-ball knock against New Zealand still refreshes his mind after 31 years. He scored 100 off 62 balls against New Zealand, which was the fastest hundred in 50-over cricket at that time. Although footage of this match is not available, the match was telecast live on Doordarshan.

When India started chasing the target, the transmission link went away and the spectators were shocked to see this brilliant innings of Azhar on TV. Azhar recalled the innings saying, 'It was the Moti Bagh Palace ground. Open ground and good arrangements for spectators. I think I had hit three or four sixes (three) in that innings, out of which two fell outside the ground and one was planted on the tree. That day it seemed that I could not do anything wrong and I never felt that I had completed a century in the ball near 60. '

Indian bowlers gave away a lot of runs in the absence of their main bowler Kapil Dev, in which Sanjeev Sharma gave 74 runs in 10 overs while Rashid Patel (58 runs in 10 overs) and Chetan Sharma (54 runs in 10 overs) were also very expensive. Azhar said, 'Chasing the target of 279 runs was like chasing 340 runs today. The good thing was that I had batted at number six in that match. I still don't remember whether I came after Dilip Bhai (Vengsarkar) or Sanjay was dismissed. But Ajay Sharma supported me well because we soon formed a partnership of more than 100 runs.
