This team have defeated WI in 1996 WC In which riche Richardson got bowled and BC Lara got caught for 8 runs,still one of the greatest upset in our 90s era😉 becoz the target was 166 but WI got all out for 93
And that wicketkeeper Tariq Iqbal... who could not stop a thing and then an edge from Brian Lara stuck perhaps uncannily in a rather strategic area of the southern regions of his anatomy.... and then his unbridled joy and suddenly becoming the best wicketkeeper in the world for the rest of the match.
You call mediocrity and nepotism as "unexpected"?? I am also a 90s kid and I am very happy we got out of that rut and have more professionalism and accountability in the game.. no more mediocre players like Sodhi, Kanitkar etc.
Kenya was unpredictable team during 1996-2003. They even reached 2003 WC Semi Finals. Internal political crisis destroyed their growth further completely.
NZ and England backing away from their games to be played in Kenya played a big part in their reaching SF of 2003. But still they played decent cricket overall.
internal politics haha are you serious this is because of money minded bcci and icc . Icc doesn't want to focus on associate cricket .that's why these good cricket playing countries are fading away
Every country political involved in sports ..in India jay shah doesn’t know anything about cricket but he is ceo of bcc’ing because son of home minister Amit shah ..
Kenya is a force in cricket beat West Indies , Sri Lanka , India 2003 World Cup Semi Finalist but sadly the cricket nation is died due to poor mismanagement.
@@awaisfakhar6340 coach plays a vital role. See the India and Pakistan team both. When Gregg Chappell was Indian coach we lost everywhere. When Waqar Younis coached Pakistan team they lost too. Now see the turn around Gary Kirsten becomes our coach we start winning. Hayden become Pakistan coach they defeated India in t20 WC last year. Dressing room environment needs to be calm before important matches.
@@awaisfakhar6340 yes that's true because they never had aggressive batsmen. Bowling was good. They defeated India in 2001 in South Africa while defending 240 runs They defeated Sri Lanka in 2003 Word cup while defending. Yes that's been their main problem
Kenya reached semis becoz of other teams.NZ and Eng refused to play against zim and Kenya. So Kenya gets match point of those matches.Otherwise Kenya would never reach semi
@@harshdeshwal18 dude why are you so harsh? It is still a great achievement for Kenya nevertheless considering how unpopular the sport is in the country and the fact that they have a financially struggling board!
@@boora_vlogs HAHAHAHAH! 154???!!!!!..bhai kounsa nasha phoonk raha hai tu? he was 135 at best. I remember he was always called medium-fast. India was a country of medium pace, until Zak and Co came along!
Some people called Srinath and Prasad and Mohanty as fast. They were sitting ducks for international batsmen. It was the arrival of Zak that changed the scene, and then Boom and Co
Kenya always push hard Bangladesh cricket during 90s. Our first ever ODI victory was against Kenya in 1998. After 2003 WORLD cup cricket they just lost the way. So sad to see Kenyan cricket is no longer exist today in international arena. 😭😭😭
What a performance by Kenya. I won’t be surprised that they can give a tough time to any team with such a performance ❤️✊👏 I hope they get what they deserve and bounce back. The country certainly has the talent
Given the six dropped catches and two missed run outs India were lucky to get as close as they did. Kenya’s bowlers were terrific. Their fielders were pretty awful in this game.
With high regards to Anil Kumbles bowling..In those golden days we all knew whenever Anil Kumble walked in for batting the result was already known 😂😂😂 Infact It was all top 3 in the batting.. As soon as 3 top order batsman got out Indian team could never recover.. Things changed slowly with the inclusions of Sehwag Yuvraj Kaif and later the trend continued with MSD.. India were always a work in progress team and now India is a dominant powerhouse in cricket world
But they haven still won any icc tournament in a pong time..pak last won champions trophy, lanka won Asia Cup, Australia, England, nzl , they all won icc events...but indian side always struggles to win 🏆 it was a struggle in the 90s, its a struggle now
Indian team was completely dependent on Sachin and Sourav during this time. I see Kenya dropping couple of catches in this highlights and some lbw not given and missing runouts. Still Kenya won the match by huge margin. That’s how bad Indian team was during this time.
India had sehwag as opener, yuvraj singh, kaif in the middle order in the 2003 WC 😂😂it came to 2003 WC after historic win in the NatWest trophy in England 😂
At that time...Kenya was the dark horse team...they could defeat any big team when they performed 100%...In 2003 they surprised everyone to reach in semifinal by the help of coach sandeep patil and in semifinal they also put india in trouble for some time...but luckily india survived !!!
Kisi time pe kenya or zimbawe ke team both strong the dono teams ke Board of cricket & dirty politics ne fail kr diya team ko sare players ke carier end kr diye 2003 world cup me dono teams ke performance amazing the
Around 1998 Kenya was much better than bangladesh and deserved test status, but due to politics and strong backing from BCCI, bangladesh received the test status. bangladesh continued to play like dummies for the next decade before winning any significant test match
Jealous of bangladesh? 🤣🤣 century of losses in test so far...8 out of 16 wins against zimbabwe, 1 match played and lost to afganistan... bangladesh fans are just like their cricketers....always butthurt
For a long time, Kenya was the nemesis of our Bangladesh Cricket Team and I was always afraid as BD often lost games with them. Yet, breaks my heart seeing such a team wasted away😢
Kenya played the semi-final of the WC 2003. They beat full members such as SL, WI, Zim, Bangladesh, India twice, and had very close games against Pakistan and even Australia. Yet, they were not given test status or full-member status, whereas Bangladesh only beat Pakistan in a WC dead rubber match and they were given the test status. What an irony. ICC's bias is evident in Kenya's case. Undoubtedly, Kenya became a victim of unfair treatment by ICC.
Agreed,but what happened after that,,,,,is a very big ? Mark.their cricket went down n down,why?they were looking a big n aggressive team in this particular game.....
@@Azeem.963 You r right, their cricket declined over the years, but did you hear Kenya's then captain Tikolo's statement. He expressed disappointment over ICC's negligence toward Kenya. When Kenya realized they would not get due support from ICC, they left hope, which led to the destruction of their cricket.
ICC should have looked after teams like Kenya, Zimbabwe, supported them. I love to see them back in top league again, even Netherlands, Nepal and Namibia the 3N's should be supported to bring em into the top league.
During 90's Zimbabwe and Kenya were emerging time. If their both countries political system were stable today this team gave though challenge like Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Ireland doing now. Really miss those days
This shows how dependent Indian team was on Sachin. Even against a team like Kenya, they struggled and ultimately lost because Sachin got out early. And then some people compare Kohli to Sachin!!!
And in the next match of the series at Paarl, Sachin and Sourav thrashed the Kenyans and earned a place in the finals of this tri series against South Africa, which they eventually went on to lose
Don't think so. This was a 3 nation tournament with Bangladesh/ Zimbabwe being third team. India had already qualified before this match started. The next match was the final in which India thrashed Kenya.
@@rajaayyagari1573 no. The series you talking about was played in India in 1998 it was a different triseries. This series was played in south africa in 2000
@@tiktok1449 Ya the series Mr ayyagari is referring to is the one between Ind, Ken and BD. Before the finals, Kenya had upset India at Gwalior. Rahul Dravid's snail placed innings was blamed for the defeat. But in the finals two nights later,. India thrashed Kenya. Sachin and Dada set the tone for a mediocre chase of 190 odd. Thereafter Ajay Jadeja shared an unbeaten century stand with Sachin and saw India through
@@nareshkumarm9034 No Bro u r talking about the Coca Cola Trophy Sharjah final. It was a tri series between Ind, SL and Zim. In Finals, Sachin thrashed Olonga and dada pummeled Grant Flower for three sixes in an over. India made a mockery of the 198 target set up by Zim, and won the series.
Venkatesh Prasad, Harvinder Singh are the fast bowlers in a country with 85-90 crores at 2000s. Those were the range of politics indian cricket used to have
Kenya, Zimbabwe were such a joy to watch in those days! People nowadays would not believe that Andy Flower averaged 50+ in tests while playing for Zimbabwe! Hoping that we see a promotion/relegation system for WTC championships and see these teams play!
During that era ...Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Kenya , all had challanged the big teams ,,, but now even mighty teams and their skills have gone down Like srilanka , Pakistan, south Africa, Australia
Pakistan? Seriously 😳 Pakistan is now at its best I believe. All their players are in prime form and they have got some really good players like Babar Azam, Imam, Muhammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi and many players in their team are match winners.
Still remember waking up the next day as a Grade 3 schoolboy, only to find that Indian team lost to the minnows. However, in the next match, India badly defeated Kenya by about 180 runs, after scoring 350+
TBH even during the 90s to early 2000s, Zimbabwe and Kenya were not the strongest teams in cricket. They lost many matches to the top teams and only occasionally beat them as evident by their record against them. I think they would’ve still remained as minnows today even if it wasn’t for the politics.
@@AnkitJugnu Obviously, you're completely ignoring test runs here. And, who'll talk about number of matches played, averages and strike rates in ODIs? Also, many of us remember how Ganguly gave Sachin less batting chances in 2002. If I bring the complete stats, it'll humiliate your biasing statistical claims. Better delete them.
That was splendid bowling they suffered the demise as West Indies. West Indies used to be the best team in the world now they are barely qualifying for World Cups.
See indias bowling...what a weak attack...all 120 kmph below bowlers...what a shame back them...if india had genuine pacers , things could have been far different because it always had one of the best batting line up....
I am from maharashtra, india but it was embracing an associate nation defeated us twice first time in 1998 gawalior and second time in this game. Now our blind people will say " oo that kenyan team was extraordinary" but the indian team was far ahead to them.
This was the time Indian team started to change. Hitter at top by name Sehwag and another in middle order Yuvraj came in and made life easy for the Big 3. Also fast bowlers Khan, Nehra complimented Srinath well in the latter stages of his career.
Indian team was so weak at that time lack of genuine fast bowlers also they didn't have much odi specialist players untill sehwag yuvraj then dhoni came, in that match yuvraj was in his early days in international cricket
1996 v WI, 2001 v Ind, 2003 v SL The three most famous victories in the history of Kenya. Sad to see their plight today, hope they bounce back stronger.
