Untold Story of Aamir Sohail's Batting in 1996 | Aamir Sohail relives the moment from 1996 World Cup 

Hello... I Am from India. Aamir Sohail ji Namaste. Just want to tell you that u was one if the finest attacking/Aggressive batsman of your generation. U r probably underrated , but I believe u could have played few more years. Best wishes to you.

Sohail sir ..1996 world cup Wala movement..Jo hua.. amazing..shayad usi ki wajah se vo match log yaad krte hai..aur agle 100 sal Tak yad karegi duniya..aur sir Indo pak match itna to chalta hai..tabh mjaa AATA hai..

I still remember I was watching this match live. Pin drop silence in India when you showed your aggression and then the entire country just burst into a party the very next ball. Respect sir

Missing such passion now a days... Thanks for such entertaining Cricket.. thanks from india

Well said Aamir...actually I watched that match and told my father that Aamir is trying to play with Prasad’s mind and that the game was on edge. I feel that you thought Prasad will bowl a short one again but he bowled a well disguised slower length delivery. Hats off to you that you tried that in such an intense match, your intention was to win the match. None of the current Pak batsmen have this guts to do in a normal cricket match forget the QF of the World Cup.

The way you build the context before explaining 96 world cup incident, was really good, and there is no doubt you played and wanted to do something for Pakistan... still remember my childhood days when you used to be a captain in sahara cup time's and used to beat india all the team.. thank you for posting another intreseting video

What you did in your entire career - ppl can only dream about it. Love and Respect from India. I wish you were an India. I personally loved your unorthodox batting style. Congratulations on all your achievements.

An important point: A crowd of 80,000 against you and you had the balls to go and taunt the bowler in a pressure cooker situation. I think that's courage.

Another Indian fan, who appreciates your description of the 96 event and believes it as genuine. In some ways you have ruined it for me though; I won’t be able to enjoy your wicket anymore when reliving that moment with Indian friends, as I’ve gained admiration of you due to your honest explanation. Take care!

It's a great to listen the story from you, Sir. Whoever watched that match, the memory of this incedent will always be remembered. I beleive, that time, Pakistan's opening in batting and bowling was simply world-class! From India

As an Indian we have great respect for Aamir Sohail. Aamir you were destructive batsman in Pak side. Those 90`s will never be forgotten without you. Great Batsman with great mind, you dominated the bowlers. I remember the 1996 WC, match with India, your wicket was one of the important wickets which Prasad took. That sensed India victory. Because you both Anwar & Sohail going 5.7 R/O. Love to watch your cricket Aamir sir. Even your innings against Australia, India, Zimbabwe in 1992 WC were beautiful batting. Thank you for entertaining the world sir.

Amir bhai ..Love from india....you was one of the best player of that era

Hello aamir bhai,I am from Bangalore. Perfect clarification, its a match once in a life time.nothing wrong with ur aggression which is missing now a days.U & saeed bhai was outstanding in those 10 overs.there is pin drop silence with every 4 & 6.U want to won that match for ur country, which is not happened. great innings under pressure in a knockout wC match.its the middle order that let U down.lots of love from India.Aamir bhai aap IPL me commentry karne aayiye.....

96 QC memories still fresh. You played like a tiger! And honestly i have no idea why people have blown this episode sooo out of proportion. I mean you were the only player who’s performance in the match was up to the mark. Other’s players performances were too bad. Sir you were great of a player!

I was only 9 years old but I still remember the intensity of that match. The tension was all around when you were playing. What an inning it was......From India

It was one of your best innings against any country and my all time favorite. It took many many years to finally know the mystery behind what actually took place between you and Parsaad, for many years we misunderstood the entire situation and didn’t know the strategic thinking you applied to keep a better edge for your country. Thank you for finally explaining the quarter final and for your services to the Nation.

Sir jee, this is such a heart touching video. I always knew you only played for your country. You were great!

Aamir bhai whenever i see that video of 1996 W.C Quarter final i get excited, that was the time when our team was pretty strong and you were a true fighter. I remember i was taking up my Annual exams during that time but you won our hearts by giving your 100% efforts. The highlights of that match was only saeed anwar and your blistering batting. Following players after ur wickets underperformed and we lost that q.f. I love you a lot and the way you conduct your program is exquisite.

Great sir , love from tando adam , sindh

Amir sohail wss the most stylish batsman in the world, I like the way he batted

Nice to know the other version of that iconic moment. Thank you for sharing. Of course Sir you and Saeed Anwar were a word class opening pair. We loved watching you bat but not against India 😝

Well said! I always wondered what happened. Finally, the Bangalore mystery has been resolved.

Aamir bhai, loved the way u batted....Love from India

Mohtaram Aamir Sohail Sir !!! Mujh sey zyada barra fan aap ka dunya mey koiy nahi ho ga. I became your die hard fan after your quarter final innings of 55(46) on 9th of March 1996, the day was saturday. The demanding circumstances, the challenging situation, humongous total to chase, that immense pressure, antagonistic crowd, that Pakistan-India rivalry, & that epic, valiant innings of yours in the face of adversary, that undaunted chivalry, that manly demeanor, what an unprecedented display of class & aggression, you earned my undying admiration & the eulogies of Amir Sohail were abound in the length and breadth of Pakistan even though we lost the match. I always thought you could've easily made a century in that match & you fell only to your bravado. But now since you've explained the situation very well, we can understand that it was the need of the moment and not the heat of the moment. You were doing it for Pakistan & not for yourself. A few months after this match, you came to Peshawer & a cousin of mine asked you about why we lost that match. You replied to him "ye uss Gan*** sey poocho". That cousin of mine didn't know what "Gan***" means. Thanks God he didn't ask you. He rather asked me afterwards, what is meant by "Gan***". I laughed for like half an hour & then told him what is meant by "Gan***". It meant Wasim Akram :p

sir your incident with danny morrison is still the funniest thing on cricket. love from India❤

Bravo Aamir, I am satisfied with your explanation. I still have vivid memories of that breathtaking match. You really played so well and exhibited some great shorts. Win or loss is part of the game. You gave your 100% performance for your team is what matters. Good luck and loads of love to my little brother.

Slam Unn Logo ko Jo India se b Piyar de rhy hn Aamir Sohail Sb ko ThnQ so much India walo ka Nd Lot of Love from Lahore 4 Indians ....

Got some good comments from Indians, we really missed these fights, that was a real joy, I have also heard prasads interview he is a good gentleman.

The best opening duo of Asia Sohail-Anwar till Sachin-Sourav

I was lucky enough to have witnessed that quarter final match,You and Saeed Anwar had taken away the match in the first 15 overs and both of you were unstoppable until that Venkatesh Prasad bowled you out, my salute to you as you displayed a wonderful batting.

Aggressive batsman like you used to be a joy to watch during those days.... Believe me except against India I always supported Pakistani cricket team and the legendary players like waqar younis, Wasim Akram, yourself, and There was another spinner in your team with a very innocent face I think saqlain Mustaq was his name.... In fact I started chewing centre fresh in a bid to copy waqar younis.

i was studying in class nine and living in a village ...sab yad krwa dia aap na aik awara bacha thaa main raat ko late ghar aana aur mother say jotay prtay thay oss raat jab match dekh kr ghar aa raha thaa tou ankhon main aansoo thay meri mother na b match dekha she was waiting for me aur meri ankhon main ansoo dekh kr khud b oss ke ankhain bheeg gaeen ...ALLAH meri mother ke magfrat farmay

Thanks for sharing details of went through that day. You had the right intentions and strategy. Sometimes things don't go the way we plan.

Thank you for explaining. 🙏🏽

Thanks for this presentation and also for sharing your thoughts on the aforesaid subject with a right spirit. Hence, I will go as per what you've said and there isn't any need from my end to judge further. In fact my admiration and esteem towards you is much more now since you've said that the ball you got out in this particular quarter final match is on account of a good delivery bowled that came back much more than expectation. Am now eager to watch all your presentations that would follow in due course of time with a hope that you will share anecdotes that are not known to many. Thanks again from India.

Your agression was your strength , nothing wrong with that, love from India

I'm from India, what you did is perfectly fine in the heat of the moment. These competitive attitude is missing sadly now a days and if it is there then it is from unqualified players. Your preamp shows your clarity of putting out facts.

2/2 ur respect has increased many fold in my eyes. I SALUTE you, Rashid latif, Aaqib javed & Sarfaraz Nawaz for not bending down against match-fixing. U r true heroes of Pakistan cricket, so what if ur careers finished before. Upar wala sab dekh raha hai. I admire u bcoz u r a much mature person now, like how u again played with prasad & this time he showed u bat & settled the score (friendly video). I also admire u on Siddhu episode when u said- bata doon Toronto wali baat, chalo rehne do. Love, Respect & Admiration from this side of India. Ankit Kansal

Very well explained

u were my most favorite batsman..and i learned alot from ur technique...it was a treat watching u sir

This is a what class looks like, you are a true sportsman and kudos to you to explain, which in my opinion was not needed. It is unfortunate that in order to feel patriotic and be supportive of India, you were demonised to an extent. It was a game where you had to do what you had to do. Full marks for that. You along with Saeed Anwar was one of the most if not THE most destructive opening pair in cricket history. Respect from India, Thank you so much for the memories….

No Sir,It’s not your fault and there is no question of lack of commitment,You could’ve anchored the innings instead of leaving it to the others,You adjusted to the pace of the wicket and could’ve asked other batsman to score quickly.Also,I feel Java’s should’ve come top of the order who can guide other players and will finish the game.The innings that you and sawed played was outstanding and I have never seen better partnership than that in the crucial game.You always remains best Pakistani player along with saeed and Inzi bhai.Respect from India.

Good one. Respect from India 🇮🇳

Amir bhai u r a legend & u r my fvrt batsman in the history of cricket. I appreciate ur efforts for pakistan. Salute to my legend

What great memories! Still remember the great player that you were, 96 QF memories still fresh. You played like any patriotic player would play for country! After you, no player could pick up your pace.

Sir ur cricketing knowldge is incredible. I watched ur show during worldcup wirh salman both of ur anaylsis was lyk anythng... repsect frm 🇮🇳

Respect sir ... I'm from india n Im watching ur videos... You are the most sensible n mature guy... In pakistan cricket fertility... I'm surprised that pcb don't use your ability, services for developing batsman...

Assalamualaikum Amir Bhai thanx for starting ur RU-vid channel and sharing ur memories with us.This is my first comment to anyone ever.

Unforgettable jori Amir soail & Saeed Anwar ever never. Pakistan team can't maintain again same couple of 2 attacking lefty. I Like you both not only me but my citizens also remember you both very heartily. You are our heros we love you both and never forget you.

Aamir bhai very honest review of very honest person.

Thanks for such nice programme.good learning lesson for life.

Excellent!... especially your way of narration..

Aamir: That was one of your bravest innings. Thank you for such a detailed and comprehensive analysis that happens to be a source of learning and inspiration for youngsters like me. Stay blessed and keep sharing your stories and experience. Thanks.

Point taken. It's all part of the game. Unfortunately it misfired for you👍

What happened in 1996 Bangalore,No doubt Aamir and saeed played well both these openers took responsibility against india and played for country Pakistan i like the efforts both these did but where were other players did not played well shame on other players salute to Aamir and saeed.

Amir sohail and Saeed Anwar played really well.no complains with them.they gave excellent start to the team.culprits are rest of the batsmen who couldn't full fill their responsibility

You did it for the team. I loved your batting attitude in all games. You were a fighter. No fear

In our childhood,Aamir Sohail and Saeed Anwar were our favorite players in Pakistan team.

Very nice analysis by Amir Sohail. You are extremely educated and intelligent sports expert.

It's really happy that you and Vyanktesh Prasad is friends and you are great player sir a lot of love from Indian fan

Those first 10 overs one of the greatest batting displays ....Pin drop silence in crowd

It was nostalgic to listen to the old incidents which you experienced in the cricketing career.For me I reckon that whatever you tried to do was for the better of the team especially in such a intense situation.I would be eagerly waiting to you to reveal the Durban story.

Fabulous yaar Aamer bhai I'm so happy I got to see your version Best wishes

Aamir bhai you definitely had a good intention in 1996 match against India. You and Saeed Anwar were the best all rounders of Pakistan

I still believe Aamir bhai agar ap aj b Maidan m aajaien tu ur batting can be more lethal and explosive than our current openers

और दो एक्सप्लिनेशन...... मरते दम तक तुम्हे सपने मे भी प्रसाद ही दिखणे वाला है। हमने लाईव्ह मॅच देखी है ......वेंकी सर ने मस्त डांग तोड दी थी आपकी ।

Sir...Pakistan cannot produce another opening pair like you guys....most entertainment...super skill and extreme talent..great Ameer Sohail

You are an absolute legend. Your opening pair with respected Saeed Anwar was a classic and dream opening pair. Hope that the young generation and new batsmen learn from you. Lots of respect for you

Great to hear your experiences. Expecting more...

It's good...that you explained this in a rightway...it's happen in cricket..appreciated from india!

I have seen that match, you and Saeed Anwar played very well and gave a good start. I loved the crowd silence. Nobody stayed on the wicket afterwards. Win converted to defeat.

Assalamualikum Brother Aamir Sohail from Bangladesh 🇧🇩. I am one of your big fan. I like your batting style. Me personally as a lefty also tried to follow your batting style.

Good Evening Aamir Sir, Thank you for explaining the entire psychy of a batsman in sledging a bowler (rare on those days- remember Javed Miandad used to sledge bowlers) which requires a great courage & mental balance to come back and refocus on the point of release. Late Sir Bob Woolmer had mentioned that its a tough call to challenge the bowler & focus back. As any batter gets less than 500ms facing anything above 135km/Hr. If you can reply my question even in short, i will be happy. How could you able to retain your focus even after sledging the bowlers? I mean your mind balance. Regards, Pujan Ghosh (cricket coach)

Love from india 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Loved this long overdue explanation of the events that took place in the match. No one player can be blamed for that loss, Ijaz , Inzamam and SM did not do their part. Please also talk about the last years of your career . You weren't as attacking in your last couple of years. Why was that?

For me Amir sohail was one of the world's best all rounder

Best player I always enjoyed watching your batting and always wanted to play like you respect from Afghanistan 🇦🇫

Still remember that 1996 quarter final day. Was heartbroken. Specially after the start you and saeed anwar got.....

Thanks for sharing I understand now your state of mind now.

Mad respect for this guy and Saeed Anwar. Those first 10 overs were such pain to watch. Takes a lot of guts to speak about such incidents. Salute. Towards the end, I recall Rashid also got in the groove.

I agreed with your strategy

atleast there was intention except ijaz and inzi's questionable performance. pak has always faced traitor but still hero become hero at last and amir is one of them..

I loved your batting stance and style. I have the same stance. Thank you for entertaining all of us, Respect, Take Care.

Very nice listening to you. From India

Liked your analysis very much. Your and Saed Anwar opening pair was a treat to watch. Respect from India !!

I'm from India I always loved your batting skill It was always entertaining

Number one pair of 90s. Saeed Anwar+ Amir Sohail. You are both better than Best.

Sohail you were one of the dangerous batsman that Pakistan has ever produced

Can you talk about your double hundred in Trent bridge 92 series and also you had a good series in Australia in 1995-96

You do an amazing analysis Amir sahab. Very few can articulate and analyse the game as you do. You are quite upfront as well as fair in describing the game. Keep up the good videos 👍

Superb explanation. Now could connect the dots. India Pak match is always the best entertainment for fans

I have always thought of you as a brave cricketer who took on the challenge and performed under pressure. I remember two of your aggressive innings against India. One from the '96 WC quarterfinal and the other while chasing 300+ when India achieved that mark for the first time in Sharjah. You looked ominous both times taking Pakistan off to quick starts. I also appreciate your honesty about the tactic sir. It was a calculated gamble that had worked before but didn't pay off that one time against Venkatesh Prasad.

Aamir sir u explained your point of view very well, it just happen in cricket. Love from india

Gr8 Aamir bhai 💙🧡❤

Sir i m from Norway sir i m left hend batsman ho mai kon c tranning karo apni batting ko acha karny k liye plz

Venkatesh prasad is calm bowler he never angry but his bowling accuracy in tough situation is awesome and great love u venkatesh love from maharashtra

So we learned that Amir shared pitcher of dodh-patti with DKL at start of Australia tour in 95. 😉

Sir i remember ur interview after 1996 wc match, you told that we should never bring emotion in cricket.

Sir I always love to see you bowling. Iam your big fan. Love you sir from India ( Chennai )

Sohail was one of the finest cricketers and i think the kind of aggression he had in those days is needed in today's cricket.
