Whenever there is a match between India and Pakistan in the World Cup, there will definitely be a fight between the players. Fans remember many such incidents. Such an incident happened in the quarter-finals of the 1996 World Cup. In this match played at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore, there was a confrontation between Venkatesh Prasad-Aamer Sohail, which people still remember.
Sohail gestures in an attempt to provoke Venkatesh Prasad after hitting a four in the cover. On the next ball, Prasad overthrew Aamer’s off-stump and then signaled him to go to the pavilion. Whenever there is talk of India-Pakistan cricket. This incident is remembered. Recently Venkatesh Prasad also remembered this incident.
A Twitter user reminded Venkatesh Prasad of this incident 26 years ago. After that the user deleted his account. Venkatesh Prasad tweeted and said, “Yes Murad, I remember this sentence. He (Aamir Sohail) was arrogant in the photo you posted. What can the ego do to you? To know about it, you have to see the different ball. It uproots you in Hindi.”
Yes dear Murad, I do.
He was arrogant in this image you posted, you need to see the next ball to know what arrogance can do-
Uproot which in Hindi means Ukhaad. https://t.co/EPqfgXm0tK— Venkatesh Prasad (@venkateshprasad) June 12, 2022
Last year, Sohail shared half the story about the incident during a YouTube chat. He told Cricket Life Stories, “Didn’t say anything. People interpret it in different ways. He has to say something to prove that he understands the game well. There was no exchange of words. Javed Miandad had told us how to provoke the bowler. It was reverse psychology.”
Sohail’s dismissal is seen as a turning point in the 1996 World Cup quarter-final between India and Pakistan. Chasing 288, the defending champions were 114/1 with nine wickets after 14.5 overs. After the wicket of Sohail, Pakistan’s innings faltered and they lost by 39 runs.
