Five of the most controversial India – Pakistan cricketing moments
2) AAMER SOHAIL and VENKATESH PRASAD (1996)
A world cup knockout clash between the then defending champions Pakistan and India. Opting to bat first India posted a score of 287/8 which in those days was a formidable target. In reply Pakistan were off to a flier by some fearless attitude shown by the then openers Saeed Anwar and Aamer Sohail. While Anwar fell for 48, Sohail continued with his aggression and probably paid the price for that.
In the 15th over of the innings when Pakistan were cruising towards the victory Sohail smashed a boundary on the offside and signalled at the bowler Prasad “go fetch that”. Prasad replied him in the best possible manner with the next ball, playing all around to a straightish ball Sohail found his off stump uprooted, which helped India to come back into the game as they sealed a 39-run victory.
