Cricket Viral Video: When Shoaib Akhtar ran into Sachin on pitch and the Kolkata crowd lost their cool, watch what happened next

Cricket Viral Video: In the opening Test of the 1998–1999 Asian Test Championship, Sachin Tendulkar was run out for not reaching the crease when he collided with Shoaib Akhtar. Temperatures increased away from the field after this incident since the Kolkata audience wasn’t happy with what had transpired. Things quickly took a bad turn.

Cricket matches between India and Pakistan are characterised by the intensity and enthusiasm of their rival fan bases. These games have frequently resulted in flare-ups off the field due to the troubled history between the two nations.

Sachin Tendulkar dismissed after colliding with Shoaib

The fourth Test inning was when this specific incident happened. India was in the lead in the pursuit of 279 with a score of 143-2. The Indian supporters valued Tendulkar’s presence much, and only a few matches earlier, the Little Master’s spectacular 136 in difficult conditions nearly won the Chennai Test.

He was out for a duck at Eden Gardens in the first innings after being struck by a scorching yorker delivered by Akhtar, who afterwards claimed to Wisden India that Tendulkar’s dismissal had made him famous.

Wasim Akram stepped in during the second innings to bowl to Sachin, who clipped the ball into deep mid-wicket. Nadeem Khan sprinted to catch the ball and threw it toward the bowler’s end. He would later describe the runout as a complete fluke. The stroke was well-timed, and there was an easy three in it, but Tendulkar didn’t seem to be paying attention to the ball or the Pakistani fielder who had raced in to catch it.

In order to cleanly catch the ball, Akhtar, the fielder, had to start backing away from the stumps. The incident culminated in a collision when he had his back turned to Tendulkar. The throw from the deep struck the stumps simultaneously. Wasim Akram and Moin Khan shouted their appeals, Akhtar gripped his back, and Tendulkar appeared certain that he had established his stance.

The Eden Gardens audience, who believed their star to be India’s best chance in the match, felt cheated out of playing a game-changing inning. They began yelling abuses and throwing stones at the Pakistani players. The game had to be paused, and Tendulkar eventually entered the field to appease the fans.
