Venkatesh Prasad, who raised questions on KL Rahul, has given a deep wound to Pakistan, the pain will be remembered even today

New Delhi: Venkatesh Prasad, a former player of the Indian cricket team, is once again in the news. This time Venkates clashed with Akash Chopra on social media over KL Rahul. Venkatesh Prasad has strongly criticized KL Rahul for his poor performance and targeted the team management. He told the team management that it shows their weakness that they are constantly giving chances to a player who has been out of form for a long time. However, this is not the first time that Venkatesh has shown his assertiveness.

Venkatesh Prasad has always been known for his witty repartees. Be it on the cricket field or off it. One such anecdote related to him is related to Pakistan’s Aamir Sohail when he silenced the whole of Pakistan in one stroke with his answer.

Venkatesh’s fire was shown in the 1996 World Cup

This is about the year 1996 World Cup. There was a quarter final match between India and Pakistan. In this match, the Indian team, batting first, scored a score of 288 runs at the loss of 8 wickets. In batting, Navjot Singh Sidhu’s bat spoke fiercely and he played an innings of 93 runs while Ajay Jadeja contributed 45 runs.

Now it was the turn of Team India to bowl. In this match, Amir Sohail was captaining for Pakistan as Wasim Akram was not playing due to injury. For the Pakistani team who came on the field to bat

A Amir Sohail and Saeed Anwar made a stormy start together and scored 84 runs in just 11 overs. Although in the meantime Saeed Anwar returned after getting out but Aamir Sohail was stuck at the other end.

There was no way to stop Sohail in front of the Indian bowlers. In such a situation, Venkatesh Prasad came for bowling but Sohail was not taking the name of stopping. As soon as Venkatesh Prasad started his over, Sohail started sledding him with a boundary towards point.

Sohail signaled to Venkatesh that he would again hit the boundary there but Venkatesh bowled him on the very next ball. What was it then, this bowler of India also gestured him back to the pavilion and completed his revenge.

With the wicket of Amir Sohail, the Pakistani batting line-up faltered and the entire team was bundled out for 180 runs as India won the match and booked their place in the semi-finals. This is the reason why whenever Venkatesh Prasad speaks something, his style against Pakistan is always remembered.

Venkatesh Prasad’s excellent record against Pakistan

Venkatesh Prasad has always troubled Pakistan. In ODIs, he has taken the maximum 43 wickets against Pakistan. His best performance was 5 for 27 and that too came against Pakistan, that too in the 1999 ODI World Cup. Pakistan will never forget the pain meted out to him.
