Hey everyone,
We understand we did mistake in the video, and here are those mistakes 👉
1) India went to 1987 world cup's semi final, we forgot to mention this.
2) Ajay jadeja in bowling unit part, that was actually meant to be mentioned properly in editing but we forgot to.
3) jayasuriya had 3 wickets instead of 4 (we mentioned 4 wickets)

apart from these, we don't think there was any particular mistake from our end. We accept our mistake and will try best to improve in the future videos and make our videos more better!
Thanks.

2:17 Sri Lanka ne group stage me Australia aur West Indies ko haraya nahi tha. It was a walkover. They got points for those matches because Australia and WI refused to travel to Sri Lanka due to security concerns.

Back in the days India was so heavily depended on Sachin... Sachin gya toh team v gya.... But from 98/1 to 128/8 is unacceptable...

[flamencoguitarist]

woh kaali raat… kabhi nahi bhul payenge… Sanath Jayasurya was able to spin more than Shane Warne on that cursed pitch… that game had left a negative impact on our minds that lasted for long… we could not even focus on our studies for days… and then the inclusion of Saurav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid brought some fresh air… and the journey from Indian Team to Team India had already begun…

[silasmarnar]

Ganguly replaced kambli forever and almost won 2003 WC ..but ganguly's boys yuvi, harbhajan, sehwag, zaheer won 2011 WC....

1996 to be honest, India deserve nahi karti thi. Because puri team only Sachin and Kumble pe dependant thi. Example Australia and Sri Lanka ke match me dikh gaya. Plus us time Eden Gardens me koi bhi toss jeetkar second batting nahi karta tha, because itni turning wicket thi, ki batting second wahan pe suicide mana jata tha. To Azhar ka faisla Eden Gardens me fielding karna toss jeetkar, bilkul senseless tha.

Man just found your channel and now I am addicted, you're greatly underrated, I like these cricket story type videos and your beautiful voice and edits are just immaculate, you will rise soon.

Cant forget the night i was 9 years old and watching it with my family and not only kambli cried but every Indian too, i didnt knew what was fixing back then but when i recently watched the full match again it looked very evident that except few players most of them are looking obvious to loose their wicket easily and it not a good watch even now 😢

90 era we were depending on sachin, Ajruddin
After 90 we were depending on sachin, sehwag, Ganguly
After coming Dhoni every player was match winner for us, during virat era we got bowlers who have qualities to safe small score ❤❤❤❤

Toss - fixed, Jadeja/ Azhar/ Mongia - fixed. Bakra = Kambli

[madhurvyas]

one correction
1:00 india played semi final against england in 1987 world cup india didn't lost in group stage

[tirthapaul]

My father told about the match. Not just kolkata whole India was stunned. And Kolkata situation at the time was like a riot could have break out at that devastating loss of India

[syedahmed]

I cannot forget that day.. didn't able to complete the dinner..whole night cried.. i was 12 that time..

[nivan]

I am 200% sure Azhar, jadeja, mongia and few others were involved in fixing. And I am also sure that many big players knew about it but didn't speak up which is wrong thing. They should have told about this to the team management.

[filosvjohn]

In my whole life I don’t remember a day I cried like when India got knocked out by Sri Lankans at Eden Gardens on that day. It was a Wednesday and as long as Sachin was there India had hope. But eventually the inevitable happened. Kambli cried and the whole India cried. I was only 8 years old but the pain was so real. There were so many news reports which criticised Azhar for taking bowling despite winning the toss.

It was a poetic justice that we won the final in 2011 against Sri Lankans though I got nothing against them now. It took 15 years and four World Cups to heal the wound cut deep down in the hearts of many Indians.

You deserve so many subs! Your videos are gold

I saw Vinod Kambli crying, unke aasu dekh kar mere bhi aasu nikal gaye thei. I was child then.

[asdtheja]

96 WC was the rise of Sachin. Untill then Sachin out = India out didn't exist. I saw this match live. 251 was a great score back in those days.

[arnold]

Team India in 1996 was not the type of team that had the standard of a world champion.
Lions at home
Lambs outside
It wasn't a team show then
It was Sachin show.
Azhar was the next best but everyone knows about his deeds and rest were all average
