When Chetan Sharma became the country’s villain 37 years ago, that six of Javed Miandad still hurts

New Delhi: The stars of Chetan Sharma, a member of the Indian world winning team and the chief selector of the current senior team, have come to the fore. He is in limelight after making sensational revelations about the team in a sting video. If reports are to be believed then he may have to leave his post. It is also possible that he himself will leave his post. Well, talk of Chetan Sharma and the match against Pakistan is not mentioned, how can it happen?

In a match played 37 years ago on April 18, 1986, Pakistani batsman Javed Miandad defeated India in the final of the Austral-Asia Cup by hitting the last ball of the Indian all-rounder, which was also the last ball of the innings, for a six. This six still gives pain to Indian cricket fans. At that time Pakistan needed 4 runs to win off the last ball and Miandad hit a six.


Batting first in the match, the Indian team scored 245 runs at the loss of 7 wickets. Sunil Gavaskar scored the highest 92 runs for Team India, while Kris Srikkanth scored 75 and Dilip Vengsarkar scored 50 runs. Wasim Akram took 3 wickets for Pakistan, while Imran Khan took 2 wickets. One wicket was in the name of Abdul Qadir.

In response, the Pakistan team had a poor start and kept losing wickets at one end. Indian bowlers looked ineffective in front of Javed Miandad. On the last ball of the last over, 4 runs were needed to win and Javed made the match in the name of Pakistan by blowing a six. He scored an unbeaten 116 runs in 114 balls with 3 fours and 3 sixes. Even today when it comes to that match, the fans get hurt. Not only this, many times Pakistanis also try to tease him by reminding him of that six.
