Lahore, June 16: Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has picked the 1999 tour of India as his favourite tour, saying the pressure of playing the neighbours and then winning in India was special.

Under Akram's captaincy, Pakistan won the first Test in Chennai by 12 runs. It was the first time the likes of him and Waqar Younis were playing against the great Sachin Tendulkar in Tests despite the Little Master making his debut in 1989.
