    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.

      1) Sri Lanka didn't beat Australia during the group stage. Australia refused to travel to Sri Lanka due to political turmoil, that's why Sri Lanka was awarded the match.
      While making a video on such a big issue, you should be more careful about the information & data you are sharing.
      2) Another thing is the way you put India's performance in the group stage it looked like a juggernaut. The truth is India only beat Kenya, Zimbabwe & West Indies in the group stage, the same West Indies who got beaten by Kenya & that too with the help of Sachin's catch being dropped by WI keeper at very early stage of the innings.
      So in reality, the Indian Campaign was never too good in that World Cup. Yes, beating arch rival Pakistan in the quarter finals ( especially which was a least expected win keeping in mind India's record against Pakistan in ODIs during 80s & early 90s ) at Bangalore made everyone's expectations higher.
      Even during the group stage the match against Australia was mostly played by Sachin who scored 90 out of team total of 143 before being stumped while chasing wide delivery from Mark Waugh. There are more missing analyses like India was never a good chaser prior to Greg Chappell's era & very poor during the 90s often even squandering chases from good position.

    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.

Uss match mein Sanath Jayasuriya ne Aag Laga rakha tha despite chasing 273 then and after a masterclass 137 by Sachin Tendulkar Jayasuriya was remembered of his carnage and to bat second was Azhar's call as everyone knew we all didn't have death bowling attack but yes Azhar and team misread the wicket totally

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.

      On the Kapil Sharma show , Ajay Jadeja informed that Navjot Sidhu was the only person suggesting to bat first , every one else wanted to bat second .
      The reason behind this was that in the previous India Sri Lanka match , Jayasuriya and Kaluwitharna had blown away the Indian bowlers .
      So in the semi-final , Indian team decided to bowl first , take out the Sri Lankan top order and restrict them to an achievable score .
      The plan was working
      Jayasuriya 1
      Kaluwitharna 0
      Gurusinha 1
      Final score
      Sri Lanka 251
      Until Tendulkar got out on 65
      And everything just fell apart .
      How can we blame the pitch when it is a Home ground ?
      it hurts because it was the World Cup semifinal , but sometimes things happen beyond your control .

    Do not forget India was thrashed by SL in the league stage and hence they went defensive. If the whole world believes Sachin they go by his book (autobiography) where he clearly mentions that the team misread the wicket. Also in one of the recent interviews even people like V Prasad, Sanjay Manjrekar said it was unanimous decision to chase only Sidhu in the team meeting opined to bat first. But the team went with opinion on the basis of majority. Blunders do happen. This was one of those! End of the story. That match wasn't fixed. One can see the spin vision of the second innings example Sanjay Manjrekar getting bowled to a widishly pitched delivery took a sharp turn and came in to knock the stumps. I think even Jadeja got out similarly. It was a pathetic wicket. Not a world cup wicket at all. If Kolkata crowd was angry that night, they should have been angry with the curator. Not the players.

      In the previous India Sri Lanka match , Jayasuriya and other SL batters had knocked out the Indian bowling . So the Indian team strategy was to bowl first , get the openers out and restrict SL to an achievable target .

    Let us agree on one thing. Sri Lanka was the best team in 96. They defeated australia and india and every other team they played against. Azhar was no where near Arjuna. Sachin was at his best but was easily countered by Desilva.
    Sri lankan strategy of using spinners on every indian and srilankan pitches is used till date. Kalu and Jayasuriya aggression was helping srilankan cruise in every chase.
    If india would have played first it would have been a more interesting match, may be india would have won semis (which i highly doubt), still india was no where near australia. Only answer to them was Sri Lanka.
    27 years now i was a young kid then, i remember crying whole night. I watched finals and supported australia just because india lost to sri lanka.

Look at the semi final - after Sachin's departure, India lost all their wickets for less than 30 runs. Sachin couldn't afford to play faster - he had to stay and ensure India succeeds.

India also an all time great line Azhar in it's line-up as well as someone like Kambli so it's not right to put it as if It's just Sachin & the rest of the team was Bangladesh.
      SL was no way the most powerful team in that tournament, both Australia & Pak had better team player by player. Don't put it as if DeSilva was playing in some 80s WI or Prime Aus team. Nobody expected them to win the tournament, they went in as massive underdogs.
      DeSilva other than his Semifinals heroics, put a ridiculous performance in the final against a strong Aussie team, a World Cup final century in chasing as well as 3 wkts with the ball. One of the all time great ODI performance. If you think it's easy performing in a World Cup final, even the great Sachin failed miserably in both world cup finals he played in.

    1. Sri Lanka was attiiwas unstoppable. And they were really chasing well against all teams with new stretegies. This again got proved in final against Australia.
    2. India successfully taken 2 most crucial wickets of Jayasurya and Kaliwith'na by fast bowlers but mysteriously Anil Kumble introduced in front of Arvinda D'Silva who is better player of spin.
    3. Sudden fall of wickets after a good partnerships also raise suspicion.
    4. India was not as big team in 90s as it is today so with advent of TV telecast a team like srilanka can give bookies uncountable profit against the India at home turf.
    These are solely my views . So nobody should get hurt.

    A leader like Ranatunga deserved a World Cup because of how he lead Sri Lanka and from where he took them.
    Also I don’t feel bad that india missed out because I am fairly certain india would have lost to Australia in the final if they went

    India was heavily relying on Sachin! Also India lost to Sri Lanka in group stages and Sri Lanka was the better team in the World Cup! So I don’t really think India would win it

    That’s why India defeated Sri Lanka in 2011 in the Final as a payback.

    Whenever India won it was a great victory, whenever India lost the match was fixed. For instance no one will ever say that India vs Pakistan Q/F in 1996 was fixed.

    This was definitely NOT Match fixing! The Sri Lankan team played magnificently under Arjuna. Remember Sri Lanka scored a world record 952/6d against the same Indian team in Sri Lanka in 1997 August 2nd. Jayasuriya scored a 300 plus. Sangakkara's batting average for more than 12,000 runs was 57.4. Higher than ANY Indian batsman, with 11 double centuries , only next to Bradman with 12. We also had the world's greatest bowler Murali with 800 wickets. Dont underrate Sri Lanka. We entered THREE ODI World cup finals, 2011, 2007, and won in 1996. We beat South Africa in South Africa 2-0 , Feb 2019. NO Asian team has ever beaten South Africa in test cricket on their turf.
    India has a population of 1,400 million, we have a population of 22 million!

    It cannot be fixed , all these batsmen were substandard apart from Sachin and Sidhu

    Credit should go to our very own Krish Srikanth but mad respect to the Lankan openers who pretty much changed the way batting was done in ODIs
