I travelled from Moscow to Colombo and after winning the semi final, took the Charter flight to Lahore. What a match. All Pakistani brothers and sisters cheered for their brother country. It brought tears to my eyes to see our Pakistani brothers and sisters cheering for my country. I worked in Lahore for 6 months on a World Bank project to prepare a Master Plan for 10 cities in Lahore. I did my best for them. Long live our Friendship.

Sri Lanka entered the 1996 World Cup as underdogs, behind the more favoured Australia, India and Pakistan. Sri Lanka’s past record in World Cups had been dismal In five World Cups, Sri Lanka had won 4 matches and lost 20. But winning the 1996 world cup was no fluke, and completely the result of brilliant planning. In the process, Sri Lanka forever revolutionised the entire sport, in a manner that no team had done before. The concept of ‘Pinch Hitting’ in cricket had first appeared as far back as the 1970s in the South African domestic scene. But it was not until 1995 that the ICC formally adopted it with only two fielders permitted outside the circle in the first 15 overs. Sri Lanka was the first international team to seize upon the change in rules to innovate and change their game. In doing so Sri Lanka changed the ideology of ODI cricket and hastened the introduction of the Twenty Overs format and the vastly successful IPL. Up to then, batting strategy in ODI cricket followed a well-rehearsed pattern - respect for the new ball, protect the wickets, build a platform and launch a late assault from overs 40-50. However, Sri Lanka changed this forever, introducing a new BRAND OF CRICKET.....🌹🌹❤️❤️👏👏👏

The cricket scene of the 90s holds a special place in our hearts, embodying pure bliss. Back then, we eagerly anticipated matches for months, savoring the excitement as it unfolded. Fast forward to 2023, and we find ourselves inundated with over 10 matches a day, a stark contrast to the anticipation we once cherished. What made the 90s cricket era truly magical was the simplicity that enveloped every aspect of the game. Players, commentators, and award ceremonies were characterized by a genuine authenticity, devoid of fantasy, politics, or commercial interests. Alas, those days seem to be a distant memory, as the cricket landscape has evolved into a more fast-paced and commercially driven spectacle.
