Pakistan's new found pace sensation Muhammad Aamer is targeting no less than the prized wicket of Sachin Tendulkar.

 

India clash with Pakistan in a much hyped Champions Trophy clash in Centurion on Saturday.

 

"He is a great batsman and I would love to get his wicket. I have worked out a plan on how to bowl to him but it will all depend on what sort of pitch they have at the Centurion," Aamer said from Johannesburg.

 

The teenager said he has always dreamt of playing for Pakistan against India.

 

"I have grown up watching some memorable matches between the two teams. I have studied videos of how Wasim (Akram) bhai used to bowl to Tendulkar," Aamer said.

 

"I just want to get Tendulkar's wicket early. It would not only be a big boost for me but also for the entire team as he is a prized wicket," he added.
