Expansion
When the teams of India and Pakistan meet on the cricket field, the spectators of both the countries accept nothing less than defeat. Because of this many times tense situations arise in the match between India and Pakistan. At present, players have become more professional and due to increased security in the field, spectators are not able to come to the field. In the olden times, spectators used to create ruckus in the field many times and the match had to be stopped. One such incident happened exactly 23 years ago in Kolkata’s ground.
The first match of the Asian Test Championship was being played between India and Pakistan. Team India needed 279 runs in the fourth innings to win. In such a situation, Sachin was run out in a wrong way and there was a riot-like situation in the field. Later, the match took place on an empty ground and India lost by 46 runs.
Shoaib’s mistake worsened the situation
Chasing the target of 279 runs, India did not start very well and the hopes of the whole country rested on Sachin. In the 43rd over of India’s innings, Sachin was playing after scoring nine runs. On one ball, he tried to run for a run, but Shoaib came in his way. Sachin collided with him and could not reach inside the crease on time. The Pakistani players scattered the bails and appealed for a run out. The umpire gave Sachin out.
At the same time, it was clearly visible in the replays that Sachin was out due to colliding with Shoaib and Shoaib had deliberately come in his way. The audience did not like this thing and a riot-like situation was created in the ground. The spectators started creating a ruckus in the ground by protesting. Water bottles and other things started being thrown inside the field.
Sachin reached to pacify the audience
Seeing the deteriorating situation in the field, Jagmohan Dalmiya and Sachin Tendulkar reached to pacify the spectators, but things did not work out. After this the entire stadium was evacuated and the rest of the match was played in the empty ground. After the dismissal of Sachin, the entire team of India was reduced to cheap and Team India lost the match by 46 runs.
