IT has been twenty five years (and one day) since the disreputable Republic of India vs state tournament 1996 encounter at Kolkata passed, that resulted in an unpleasant fashion; the players walking off the sector once the Indian crowd got hostile.
Sri Lanka was cruising towards a convincing ending within the 1st semi-final of the ICC Cricket tournament match on March thirteen, 1996 courtesy of a stellar knock from Arvinda Delaware timber, once the Indian crowd started throwing bottles and objects on the bottom.
Sri Lanka handed Republic of India a target of 252 runs from fifty overs that the blue shirts ne’er looked assault achieving. India’s batting line up, except Sachin Tendulkar, folded sort of a house of cards, putting in place a simple ending for the guests.
