They used to show this in a Boost advertisement with Kapil's voice over. Etched in my memory forever.
under kapil's captaincy, the victory against pakistan in a low scoring ODI and defeat against pakistan with javed miandad hitting chetan sharma for a six cannot be forgotten so easily.
Scorecard of the match. Unbeliavable.
Read this somewhere. Kapil just told the teammates during the break "If they can do it, why can't we?". The team men responded superbly and skittled out Pakistan for a paltry 87.
