Remember the Sweet Revenge From 1996 World Cup? Venkatesh Prasad and Aamer Sohail Just Recreated it

This is everything.
 

 
 

India-Pakistan's rivalry goes a long way.
 
But 22 years later, Venkatesh Prasad and Aamer Sohail are having a good laugh recounting one of the most memorable moments from an India-Pakistan game.
 
The case in point, that is etched in every cricket fan's memory, is Prasad and Sohail's face off at the 1996 World Cup encounter.
 
Tensions were riding high when the opening batsman Sohail was striking the ball well at the electric Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru.
 
Sohail, who was visibly pumped up, tried to unsettle Prasad by showing his bat in the cover point region, the direction in which he had hit him for a boundary.
 
 
Prasad, cool as a cucumber, broke Sohail's off stump the very next delivery and signalled him to walk off the field.
 
Sohail's quick 55 went in vain as Pakistan failed to chase India's 288 and fell short of 39 runs.

Come 2018, things aren't as tense. In fact, the duo reunited and had a lot of fun reliving the memory while talking to Star Sports.
