Yuvraj bowled by Wahab, Amir gets Kohli or Ganguly LBW against Waqar: Which was the best?

[Rana]

3 moments that regardless of the final outcome of the match were moments that truly made the entire nation and its thousands of supporters across the globe go absolutely nuts with excitement. 3 moments that gave the instant sensation of sniffing an epic victory against the old rival. 3 moments that regardless of the outcome made the opposition and its fans see a glimpse of an inevetable defeat. 3 of the greatest moments in the history of India and Pakistan cricket.

Context of each moment.

Sourav Ganguly's LBW (by Waqar Younis) in the historic 2003 wc group stage clash against Pakistan came at a time when Pakistan were truly under immense pressure of the onslought layed upon them by the rampant opening stand of Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar. Pakistan were lucky to get a breakthrough to halt the fast and furious start. However, with the old gun slinger Waqar Younis doing his best to pull things back for Pakistan, he produced a gem of a moment by trapping the Indian Skipper Sourav Ganguly at a time when Pakistan could only do its best by taking wickets.

Yuvraj Singh, in the build up to the epic clash of 2011 at Mohali was by far the most in form and star player for the Indian side. A major force and reason as to why they reached the Semi final. Besides his current form, Yuvraj was still reknown as one of the fiercest performers in India-Pakistan history. With such a background, his wicket, that too being bowled for the first ball at a time when India were searching for a partnership to regain authority over the innings. This wicket must have been the moment when all Pakistan fans must have sensed that they will achieve the impossible.

Finally, what more can I say about the Amir v Kohli wicket inf the final of the Champion's trophy 2017? Kohli, with his prolific history of decimating the Pakistan bowling attack for the past two years. The amount of runs that he has piled on without even getting out must have made all Pakistan fans around the world believe that even a score of 400 on a flat deck at the Oval may not be enough to secure victory if Virat Kohli gets going. The wicket, especially because of the frustration of him being dropped the delivery before was probably the moment when Pakistani fans knew that they have officially won the game.

So Pakistan fans, cricket fans and Indian fans if you like, Please tell us which of the three was the most heart-stopping moment for you?

If I were to be honest, the ones by Wahab and Younis were amazing, spectacular, awesome, whatever, you name it.. Yuvi was in the form of his life and Ganguly was a great batsman but VK is a God like character that every team, ESPECIALLY Pakistan fears. He's had so much success vs Pakistan that its crazy. And what it makes it more special that we had no confidence vs India in 2017. We had just recently lost to them in the group games while in the 90's and 2011 we were confident because of our recent successes.

What was icing to the cake was the fact that he was dropped just on the previous delivery. To get the wicket of possibly the GOAT ODI batsman in successive deliveries was magical.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Amir getting Kohli, easily

 

[Savak]

Waqar did squat in that WC apart from those wickets, he would not have even made the squad as a player had he not been captain, was over the hill and leaked runs every time and never completed his full quota of overs.

 

[Commander]

Amir vs. Kohli without a shadow of a doubt. That was the match and an ICC trophy for Pakistan.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Pakistan won 1 of those matches and lost 2.

Amir getting Kohli was a huge and significant moment in Pakistan winning the CT.

Therefore, it has to be Amir vs Kohli.

Even if we take the match result out of the equation - Kohli is the No.1 ranked batsmen in the world, he was dropped the delivery before which would have made many Pakistani fans fear the worst, however to bounce back the way Amir did and get the wicket the very next ball was absolutely spectacular. Tears of joy filled my eyes was I saw Shadab hold onto the crucial catch.

Mind you - I also lost my voice when Wahab got Yuvi. However, the end result of the match and the significance of the Kohli wicket cannot be ignored.

 

[TahirFan]

Amir getting Kohli. He othis man twice in 2 successive balls

Amir. Kohli. for all the reasons listed. Then because he did it twice. Azhar's fumble inadvertently set up the most exquisite of taunts. I'm so good I can take your wicket over and over.

 

[ExplicitAI]

As I grew up watching cricket by watching the 2011 WC first, I personally didn't go nuts when Yuvraj was bowled but I was happy that we bagged two quick wickets and eventually chipping India down. It was Sachin's wicket that I went nuts on because he didn't get his 100th 100 against Pak.

 

[khalil1986]

We lost two of those games so answer is easy without even looking further into the matter.

 

[proud_pakistani]

Of course Aamir vs Kohli. Most importantly it was a game that we won. Secondly I think most Pakistanis believed Pakistan had one hand on the trophy after that wicket. Thirdly Kohli was at that point the best batsman of India if not the world.

Wahab delivery in terms of quality was amazing as well. I remember an Indian friend telling me after Kohli got out in that game "Ab dekh, Kohli ka baap araha hai". After the as usual arrogant comment from an Indian to see that bowler was amazing just to shut him up. I replied to him "Agar baap aisa hai to beta kaisa hoga". Nehow an amazing yorker to get first up to the best player in that tournament. So yea this one was pretty close to the Aamir Kohli delivery.

Don't rate Waqar Ganguly much. It was a good delivery, nothing spectacular.

 

[Zeshan547]

If we just talk about one delivery than it have to be Wahab 150 kph swirling reverse swing missile, kohli wicket was more important but yuvi wicket ball was GOAT level.

 

[Nothing matters]

Amir getting Kohli because we won the match.The other were useless wickets going by end result.

 

[finalfantasy7]

someone put a video of each wicket up

 

[Im Suds]

All great deliveries but in terms of significance easily Amir v Kohli.
Best two players in either team facing up to each other...
In the moment of the match, the moment of the tournament
Pure theatre

 

[OmaIR1]

Amir getting Kohli because we won the match.The other were useless wickets going by end result.

Exactly.

I don't think there is much to discuss here.

These comparisons are apples to oranges because we lost 2 of those games and won only one. Naturally, everyone will vote for the Kohli wicket.

You need to find better examples to compare in which the end result for all three was a win for Pakistan.

Akhtar to Tendulkar/Dravid and Asif to Tendulkar/Sehwag?

 

[Buffet]

Amir getting Kohli because we won the match.The other were useless wickets going by end result.

339 in final and it was won pretty much with that score. Odds of anyone, including Kohli, chasing it is very slim.

 

[rajulakhpati]

Shoaib getting Sachin right after Dravid in 99 bests all 3 for me personally

 

[sshakir411]

Amir's. He got him twice

where are the videos?

 

[Kianig89]

Amir getting Kohli tops it

But all time fave Akhtar shaking Sachin on 0

Akram to Dravid LBW #ballofcentury

 

[Cricket World]

Amir two in two and match winning dismissal against best ranked ODI batsman.

 

[WC-Passion]

Wahab to UV brings back memories but I think I've got to say Amir to Kohli because I've never shown so much emotion because of one delivery before.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

If Pak had won the Mohali Semi, then would have been Wahab Riaz' ball, but in the end that delivery wasn't able to change the result. The Amir to Kohli one certainly was the one where Pak won the match. It has to be Amir's delivery

 

[Square Drive]

Amir to Kohli, easily.

 

[Nothing matters]

339 in final and it was won pretty much with that score. Odds of anyone, including Kohli, chasing it is very slim.

Yeah but Amir sealed it.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Akram to Lamb, 92 WC.

 

[kingusama92]

Amir.

Got one of the ATG ODI batsmen out twice in a big game moment.

That's as good as it gets.

 

[OmaIR1]

Akhtar to Tendulkar/Dravid and Asif to Tendulkar/Sehwag?

Much better!

Akhtar to Tendulkar or Dravid! Now that is good comparison to Amir's delivery because it mattered in the context of the game since we won.

 

[Monsee]

Yeah but Amir sealed it.

No worries, it is his indirect effort to discredit Amir...it happens, just that 180 run defeats rarely come along especially when the one receiving the 'Phainta' is also the favorite, rated number in the world and other team is rated as pretty much a minnow (or close to it)

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Amir to Kholi. Because Yuvi and Ganguly are not as great as Kholi. Second we won this game.

 

[chinaman00]

Asif bowling out and making Tendulkar literally kneel down to the bowler on the pitch is for me the finest moment in Indo-Pak encounters. Sehwag's savage onslough during the 2003 WC match against Pakistan is a close second.

 

[Cuts_and_cuts_hard]

Amir/Kohli.

Ganguly LBW wasn't even out. There was a replay from side on which showed it was very high and would have gone over the stumps.

 

[Eureka]

Yuvraj because Pakistan were under pressure upto that point and after that wicket everyone thought we had a chance. I am happy Pakistan won but Pakistan has won against India in Champions trophy before and it's not a World Cup.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Amir ripped apart Kohli (twice) and Indian batting

So my vote is for Amir v Kohli delivery.

 

[PakSarZameen]

In terms of impact Amir v Kohli. Else, Wahab v Yuvraj

 

[Bilal7]

Mohammad Amir's. It's one thing to get schooled once, but when you get schooled twice...

 

[Hasan123]

Amir to Kohli

 

[khurram39]

For me Waqar gets ganguli even though we lost that match.

 

[khurram39]

Waqar gets him by putting an extra man in slip and bowled an in-swinger.

 

[asif81]

339 in final and it was won pretty much with that score. Odds of anyone, including Kohli, chasing it is very slim.

pretty much this.match was done and dusted after Pakistan batting. yuvraj wicket in semi was most important. wahab gave us a very good chance.

 

[PakLFC]

Who won the match when Waqar dismissed Ganguly? For the the best was the Kohli wicket because we won the tournament.
