Former Indian team opener Akash Chopra has recently made a big statement about Australian veteran and Grace Haydon’s father Matthew Hayden. Akash Chopra, recalling the Test series played between India and Australia in 2004, told a funny anecdote. Akash told that during this Test series, Hayden was trying to sled him. However, Akash Chopra was not even in the playing 11 of this match. Former Indian players were quite surprised to see that the Australian veteran planned to do so.
Akash Chopra told the big thing
Akash Chopra said in ‘The Chiki Singles’, one day Matthew Hayden sled to me when I was not included in the playing 11 of that match. I asked him why you are slicing me. I have just come to the ground just. He asked me if the ball was turning into the pitch. I said you are batting and you should know more about the pitch. I have just come on the field and after a while I will go back to the dressing room. Hayden did not like it even after hearing this. But, what happens on the field remains there.
Matthew Hayden made his debut for Australia in 1993. In 2004, he played an innings of 380 runs against Zimbabwe in Test cricket. This was the biggest personal score of that time. However, Brian Lara played a 400 -run knot against England after 6 months and broke Lara’s record. Hayden decided to retire in 2008 and scored 8625 runs in 103 Tests due to 30 centuries. During his sports days, he also performed well in white ball cricket and scored 6133 runs in 161 ODIs. He had 10 centuries in his name while he scored 308 runs in 8 T20s.
Talking about Matthew Hayden’s family, his daughter’s name is Grace Hayden, who is an anchor of Delhi Premier League 2025. Not only this, she has also worked with Star Sports in the Indian Premier League. Grace Hayden is also a friend of former India player and God of Cricket Sachin Tendulkar’s daughter. Recently, when Grace was asked who is his favorite cricketer in India, he took the name of Virat Kohli.
