1996 Quarter final between India and Pakistan in bangalore. Whadda match .
Best remembered for Ajay Jadeja's clobbering of Waqar Younis, Javed Miandad's last international game, Chakarram's last minute exit fuelling match fixing and the famous spat between Aamir Sohail and Venkatesh Prasad.
Tension was greatest in that game. Pakistanis had stepped on Indian soil after 7 years (1989 Nehru Cup) and this was for World Cup.
I remember dancing out to glory on my scooter till Rajwada and the atmosphere then was electric in the night. Entire city was on roads. Loud cheers of "Bharat mata ki jai" and what not.
And 3 of the 4 victories in World cups have come under Mohammed Azharuddin. The tension was just unparalleled. And damn the next game the ............ruined Indian world cup party!!!
