Venkatesh Prasad turns 49 today, and BCCI wished the former Indian pacer with his iconic delivery to Pakistan batsman Aamir Sohail during the 1996 World Cup.
The passage of play became one of the most remembered moments in the World Cup history, as well as the history of the games between both sides.
Aamir Sohail smacked Prasad for a boundary on the previous delivery and incited the bowler further by pointing towards the boundary, which made the wicket-taking delivery all-the-more iconic among the Indian cricket fans.
Prasad uprooted Sohail's stumps, and gave him the send-off.
Take a look:
It has been 23 years since the incident, and prior to the game between India and Pakistan in this year's World Cup, many fans recollected the moment between Prasad and Sohail.
