The evening of April 18th 1986 would scar a generation of Indian cricket fans for more than two decades. Javed Miandad’s six over mid-wicket off Chethan Sharma’s last ball snuffed out a nation’s belief in comebacks. It was actually a great death over till that last ball. Wasim Akram gets run out in the first ball by a fierce throw from Kapil Dev from mid-on. Sharma then cleans up Zulquarnain in the 4th delivery. With 5 runs to get from 2 balls, Tauseef Ahmed, the last man, makes the greatest run of his life to hand Miandad the strike. His missed run-out would become the worst ever for Indian cricket. Javed did the rest.
People Forget Chetan Sharma was just 18 then when he was hit for six in last ball but Chetan Sharma too did his come back by becoming the first India to take hat trick in world cup against NZ.
