SQUASH - Jansher 'The Punisher' Khan

[sheri2000]

there is one thing common between Jahangir and Jansher that both players play at such an ease and their opponents are running around in the court lol

Jahangir & Jansher are both incredible players!!!!!

[maqboolism]

Till today Jansher is the the only God of squash and thats all.

[MrGunnnah]

@maqboolism Geoff Hunt?

[TheBuffalosquash]

I play at the buffalo club and lot of people including Satinder bajwa spoke to me about u.

[TheBuffalosquash]

Hey Zeyshan, can you plz contact me at smkhan2-UBIT name

[TheBuffalosquash]

Hey Zeyshaan, I am a feshman at UB.

[BEAUTEEM]

Hey Zeyshaan .. Quality Videos all round ..

Thanks ... The Boast in the match at the end with Simon is jus sick ..

[zeyshaan]

Thanx, look out for another video, I'm calling it my ultimate tribute to the man, hope you enjoy it as well, once again thanx for the positive feedback

[smith00htims]

i hate it in squash when you cant get to the front of he court because your shots are too crap to earn you that right,

[anarionthemighty]

awesome boast a 3:40

[Mutazalzaluzzaman]

wow... it seems so easy for him. he's making the other player jump around all over the court. what a player...

I remember as a kid that Jansher's wins were so common and almost expected that they didn't even make the top headlines in the sports section of Pakistani papers (or at least the one that I read). and after a long time, I remember seeing Jansher in a headline in The News when he finally lost a tournament after eons.

fantastic video. great choice of music. thanks for sharing.

[mongolhorde19]

GANGSTA

[CH1CU]

he makes it look so simple!!

[clareheneghan]

ramy ashour watches these vids of jansher

i read it in an article

[zeyshaan]

Hisham (his brother) told me himself way before u read it in the article and I must say it feels good to read about it in print as well... thanx for ur comments, appreciate it

[smith00htims]

I would love to have seen him in his prime playing live. Even on here I cant tell where hes about to hit the ball. His volley boasts look deadly!

[sethkhan89]

im janshers cuzin im also a family with the khan

[Galimah]

Cool, just like those atari pong machines. I dont know anything about squash but i have heard of some guy called Djingis Khan or something like that. Is this Khan in the clip also a good player?

[nickandelliott]

I watched Jansher & Jahangir play live for years when they were both on the tour together. Jahangir was the better player his record speaks for itself! Jansher wasn't as good as Geoff Hunt but thats just my opinion.

[zeyshaan]

Thanx for ur input

[Dashingzeb]

u r right Geoff Hunt was better than Jansher...What a character was Hunt. real Sportsman.

[SherryShamsi]

same opinion. Jahangir kinda player can't born again. Jansher was more stamina player, Jahangir had more variety and marvelous attacks.

[zeyshaan]

If u think Jansher was merely a 'fitness' based player then u hae not seen these videos properly or know of Jansher's transition to the best attacker the game has seen. He successfully made this transition in late 1992, after which he basically played an out n out attacking game and saw his opponents off court in record times. U can't do that if u r just a 'fitness' based player who just tries to get everything the opponent throws at you. Hopefully this clears some stuff up...

[SherryShamsi]

sorry man :) . it was'nt comparison. every flower has its own fragrance. I always loved Jansher game too

[zeyshaan]

Hey man I am not challenging ur comparison or preference, I learned how to play this game because of Jansher so I am slightly biased towards his game n style of play but God knows fully well how much I admire Jahangir Khan's game n honor his achievments. So much so that u soon will be seeing a video on his game from me as well. Working on that as I type this, so watch out u might soon be treated to a video of ur fav. player. Thanx for dropping a line, appreciate the input

[cherianjubilee]

Zeyshaan, I used to train and play with Jehangir's brother in Karachi and I saw the first final of I believe the Pakistan Open when Jehangir lead Jansher 2 games to nil and 8-5 (match point according to old scoring system) and then Jansher basically won the match. I was shocked and sad because obviously I was friends with Jehangir's family. It sucked for me but I am glad Jansher went on to do what he did. Amazing player

[Irishidotsquashgod]

youve got it the wrong way round jahangir was more fitness based until american scoring came in and jahangir got bored and had no desire

jansher however was a phenomenal attacker

[clareheneghan]

no it was the other way around until jahangir got bored and his knees started to crumble

[zeyshaan]

sure it was

[Irishidotsquashgod]

are you being sarcastic

[zeyshaan]

explaining this kind'a defeats the purpose

[Irishidotsquashgod]

jansher doesnt put his shoulder into the shot in these clips but with the clips of him with wooden rackets he puts the shoulder in

[zeyshaan]

He had to with those racquets as they dont allow u to flick the ball with any power unless u execute it with a certain swing...

[diver80844]

Fantastic video, thanks zeyshaan. One question: What is the name of the band or song (both)you used for this video?

[zeyshaan]

it's in the tags provided for the video. It's a track from the original soundtrack of the movie 300, which is titled "to victory"... thanx for watching and for ur kind words

[frashid876]

Hey Zeeshan, have you got any videos of Jehangir Khan?

[cremastor]

immaculate footwork...

[zeyshaan]

I second that...

[ANDRESPRADAHERRERA]

Thanks for your work Zeyshaan.

There has been any good latinamerican player?

I've here of some @ university level but not on tour...

Hoping for more squash videos...

[chubrock1121]

it really is scary ow good jansher was and still is.. i have talked to numerous pros that have played him and they say thay he does thing with the ball that they have never seen before...he truly is amazing

[zeyshaan]

Most don't consider him the greatest of all time for nothing... Besides the ball control, the movement he had was just jaw droppingly flawless... thanx for watching n commenting

[Infamous163]

ill beat him ;) jokes hes class

[zeyshaan]

lol, ok... thanx for watching

[guymed1]

I think he is the best ever...I like your videos Zeyshan... I know Jansher was coaching Pakistan Juniors last year, I met him at the airport. I duno Y he quit...Great player though

[zeyshaan]

Thanx for watching.... appreciate the positive feedback

[Infamous163]

i thought palmer nd tht was good but omfg this guy owns

[zeyshaan]

Oh he's in a class of his own... no comparisons man

[spookyarn1]

Poor Chris Ditmar- Looks like he took most of the wrath of Jansher !

[zeyshaan]

He did but man wat a fighter he was, total respect man, not everyone has the heart he did to keep coming back stronger everytime...

[almaflamenco]

check out the front court drop at 2:33

just to make him extra tired....

[dieguis12]

but dont just talk about tha music or raquets

look! this man is awesome and you dont care

i you love squash pay atention to him and not to the raquet or the music

[zeyshaan]

True, this is not a racquet discussion forum, there are sites out there which allow u to discuss such things, I am glad u saw the bigger picture and I thank you for ur feedback

[jonnyk75]

You're right we need to focus here. Wouldn't want to have any casual discussion or anything like that. Thanks for setting me straight dieguis. ;)

[dieguis12]

i got the companion vortex 130

[jonnyk75]

this music's awesome. where's it from, gladiator or something?

[zeyshaan]

its from the movie '300' and the title of the track is 'to victory'. Thanx for watching

[mkachur]

black knight's quicksilver rules all rackets.

[Irishidotsquashgod]

ive got the karakal bbg 155

[Irishidotsquashgod]

with gut

[MrDon1984]

has anyone palyed with prince 03 silver? can you tell if its a good racquet?

[zeyshaan]

Yes I have, the O3 black and O3 tour are better though, the silver's ok as well, depending on ur preference, but I like the other two better

[MrDon1984]

true.we dont have the 03 black in new zealand. i thought the tour lacked a bit of grunt for when you need to play a powerful shot.also i also liked the wilson n120 liked that too.have you tried that one?

[zeyshaan]

Not big on Wilson man, but I play with the O3 tour and have no complaints, it's an absolute gem and so is the black but I like the touch better with the o3, never had any problems generating power so for me the perfect combination is o3 tour with technifibre 225 strings...

[Irishidotsquashgod]

hi im the guy that thinks jahangir is better. Do u have any footage with the two khans playing against each ofer

[zeyshaan]

the footage i have of them playing is from 1990 and its on VHS. U wouldnt like it anyway since Jansher killed Jahangir 3-0 in that one

[Irishidotsquashgod]

yeh he could of had a bad day...

[a3i3m1an]

anotehr good video. With good music too

[zeyshaan]

thanx...

[Irishidotsquashgod]

I think Jahangir was better as he was no1 at 17!!!! and Jansher only just beat him when he was at his oldest

[zeyshaan]

Jansher beat him for the first time in 1987 when Jansher was 18, he also became the world champion within the first year of his professional career when Jahangir was the world champion and Jahangir retired in 1993. From 87-93, the played many many times and Jansher came out with a positive record during this time. Next time check ur facts before making such comments.

[Irishidotsquashgod]

yes but jahangir when most of the matches were played so he was off form, and if u watch the jahangir vid guess what the score was in the 4 th game,9-0

[zeyshaan]

u r basing ur opinion on one match? Jansher beat Jahangir in 87-88, 11 times out of 15 meetings, 8 of those meetings were 3-0 to Jansher n Jahangir was only 25 yrs of age then, surely u don't consider that age 'old'

[clareheneghan]

jahangir's knees went at about 24 from the 8hrs a day training

[zeyshaan]

Jahangir comments should be posted on Jahangir's videos, not here, thanx

[ouzmuruv]

zeyshaan, well done; both of your clips are well put together. Could you possibly have any material for a third one?

[zeyshaan]

U mean another Jansher video? Yeah I am planning to work on one, I need to get some tapes converted to DVDs for that so I can clip footage from them in order to use them. For now though these will have to do, Thanx a million for ur positive feedback, always nice to read positive comments on here and check back in a week or so for another video, hopefully I will have one up by then

[raelcohen]

wow

[zeyshaan]

thanx ...

[AhmedZulfi]

he turned defence into offence in a blink of an eye...wat a player

[italiansoccer19]

Jansher Khan said that the federation insulted him and he will never take part in Squash affairs.

He would send written resignation to the federation on Friday, he added.

only in pakistan.

[italiansoccer19]

ISLAMABAD: Former World Champion and Pakistan Squash Federation Advisor Jansher Khan has tendered resignation from his office.

Talking to Geo News on Thursday here, he said that he served the Squash game for seven months free of cost; but, the federation withdrew Amir Atlas, Danish Atlas, Farhan Mehbood and Waqar Mehboob from his coaching, adding he wanted to make all these players world champions. However, father of these players did not want so, he added.

[mkbhatti]

I agree wid the remarks already given. just a request, if anyone has more videos of these legends, please upload!!!

[zeyshaan]

Check out the other video I made of Jansher, I am sure u will enjoy it as well

[xedvux]

Thanks again.

Poor Chris Dittmar - could never beat both Khans to win the World or British.

[zeyshaan]

true, but he always faught to the finish, which made him truly great. Thanx for the positive feedback...

[anjum55]

i want to know the Address of Jan sheer Khan OR Jhanger Khan to look for Advice into their Footstep

to Success

[danishkhan99]

Zeeshan, you are not giving excitements but you are pushing and encouraging young youth to play Squash as Pakistani and regain this honor!!! I hope that young squash players are watching these videos, please follow Jansher and Jahangir style, you will be victorious!!!!

[zeyshaan]

Thanx for the elating feedback my friend, n yes if the youth derives inspiration from these videos, well then that will be just the icing on the cake. I do hope people learn something since there is so much to learn from such clips. Thanx once again for the feedback

[samsonite81]

the kings!

[zeyshaan]

indeed they are...

[Daikmb]

no one knows abt this game only coz pakistan was world champ for 14 years.

even pakistani media did not cover this game on tv.

pakistani nation nver celebrated jansher khans victories.

A sad truth and ignorance of pakistani nation and shows its attitude towards their Heros.

Salute To Jansher Khan,Jhangir Khan.

[zeyshaan]

Totally mirror my sentiments n that's y I'm doing my part to make n publish these videos so people can watcn n enjoy, so much to learn, so much to witness, these people r absolute legends....

[anjum55]
