Hafeez, who came out to open for Pakistan in the chase, was looking dangerous as he put Pakistan in a strong position despite Kamran Akmal getting dismissed for 19. But Hafeez was sent back by Munaf as the batsman nicked one to wicketkeeper MS Dhoni.

As Hafeez went back after scoring 43 runs in 59 balls, a charged-up Munaf was seen mouthing a few words to the Pakistan cricketer.

More than 10 years, after the incident, the bowler has revealed what he had said to Hafeez.

Munaf shared an image of the moment from the match on Twitter and asked: "Who all know this moment????"
