The Best
Sachin tendulkar's opening against Newzeland.
Yashwanth Kanikar 4 of the in the last over India VS Pak. The equation of was I think 2 balls 3 runs or something like that. Nail-bitting finish.
(still looking for the video)
Rajesh Chauhan hitting six of saqlain mushtaq in the final overs during the chase of a 300 plus score. Unlike nowadays 300 plus score chases were very rare. I think it was the highest chase at that time.
Vinod Kambli 22 runs in shane warne's over.
(Still looking for a video of the match)
Warne had got siddhu and one other batsman stumped with his huge turning leg spinners. A chat between kambli and warne seemed to have fired up kambli. A match which was very close got virtually over in that one over.

Was probably the first time sachin was opening in a one day. He made batting look so easy. A gentle push on the back foot went for a four.
Through most of the 90's Indian batting depended so heavily on tendulkar... Tendulkar falling early meant losing the match. Amul ads have always been great... this one I thought told India's story in 90's

Hero Cup: tendulkar bowling the last over

(It was during my undergrad day's in India. Access to TV was limited and I had watched the whole match standing in hot sun). India was on a roll in that match. I remember azhar came to bat and scored about 29 runs in 10 balls...

Watched the match in Naaz theatre in bayarea. Interesting incident about that was that we were interviewed by a journalist who had come there to see the craze of an India-pak match. She was telling us that the theatre owner had asked for some extra police presence for the duration of match. The police chief it seems questioned the idea of "How many people would come watch a game in the middle of night" . We had bought our tickets a day in advance $25 and the whole theater (All 8 screens)was packed. There were still lot of people trying to see if they could get the tickets!. Talk about crazy fans.
For that match my friend in San Diego told me that he had to beg the theatre owner to let him stand and watch the match!. (This was before the days of streaming video)
Sachin's six of Shoib akhthar being the highlight of the match. It really set the tone for the whole match.
