Cricket related videos and viral cricket videos.*Pakistan vs India Cricket Hype*

India vs Pakistan is arguably the most intense rivalry in sport. It’s not just cricket – it’s politics, history, and 1.5 billion people watching.

*Why the hype:*
1. *Partition History*: Every match feels like more than sport.
2. *Rarity*: Bilateral series are rare due to political tensions. When they do meet, it’s usually in ICC events, so the stakes are massive.
3. *Contrast in Style*: India’s batting depth vs Pakistan’s pace and unpredictability.
4. *Pressure*: Players often say a win against the rival means more than an Ashes win. A loss can lead to backlash back home.
5. *Global Audience*: Matches break viewership records. The 2019 WC match had 273M viewers on TV alone.

The hype peaks when matches are in India/Pakistan, but even in neutral venues like Dubai or Melbourne, the atmosphere is like a final.

### *Kolkata Test 1999 – Why It’s Famous*

*Match*: 1st Test, Asian Test Championship, Eden Gardens, Kolkata, 16-20 Feb 1999
*Result*: Pakistan won by 46 runs

This was the first India-Pakistan Test in 12 years and the first match of the Asian Test Championship. The hype was massive after Pakistan won the Chennai Test 3 weeks earlier.

#### *Scores*

*Pakistan 1st innings*: 185 all out
*India 1st innings*: 223 all out → India led by 38 runs
*Pakistan 2nd innings*: 316 all out – Saeed Anwar 188\*, Yousuf Youhana 62
*India 2nd innings*: 232 all out – Target 279

#### *Why the crowd was furious*

The flashpoint was *Sachin Tendulkar’s run-out on Day 4*.

- Sachin flicked Wasim Akram and went for a 3rd run.
- While running, he collided with Shoaib Akhtar who was collecting the throw from substitute Nadeem Khan.
- The collision slowed Sachin down. Nadeem’s throw hit the stumps directly and third umpire KT Francis gave him out. 6712
- The crowd felt it was unfair because the collision prevented Sachin from making his ground.

The Eden Gardens crowd erupted. Boos, “cheat cheat” chants, and objects were thrown onto the field. The umpires took players off for early tea. Sachin and ICC president Jagmohan Dalmiya had to come out and appeal to the crowd to calm down so play could resume.

#### *Why the crowd was not allowed on the last day / forced to leave*

On *Day 5*, India collapsed from 214/6 to 231/9. As Pakistan closed in on victory, the crowd erupted again.

- Fans started burning newspapers in the stands, throwing stones, bottles, fruit, and everything possible onto the ground.
- The match was halted for nearly 3 hours.
- Police and security staff had to forcibly evict around *65,000 people* from the stadium. 9bc3
- The match resumed and finished in front of an *empty Eden Gardens*. Pakistan won by 46 runs with only ∼200 people left inside.

Wasim Akram called it a “freak incident”. After this, Eden Gardens banned water bottles and anything that could be thrown onto the field.

#### *Why it matters*

1. *First time 70-80,000 people were evacuated.

00:00you are watching the final part of India Pakistan Kolkata test 1999 in this part
00:08only Indian betting is shown but let's let's
00:19Rahul Dravid played all over it just what the Pakistanis needed the rock for
00:25India Rahul Dravid returns back to the the break the bassman's been up there he
00:30just got himself cooled down he gets up there and the bowler comes in and bowls the
00:34most magnificent Yorker not only was it a good Yorker
00:36Oh David gone then the third wicket for India on 2493 deliveries and India now
00:42147.3 form tournament well it's it's one of the reasons I'm here I can tell you
00:47that and I've seen a lot of cricket over the years I think though it's swinging a
00:50bit that's right they couldn't do it can take a bit of playing it will be
00:54interesting now to see whether he keeps it right up the section as well and
00:58involves him a couple that are right up there in the block
01:01he's bowling from the other end of course he had a lot of problem bowling from the
01:04commentator box and the south end as such but here he is now to the Maestro himself
01:13oh fantastic delivery both that's amazing that's in the same delivery
01:20he is delighted that beauty it's swung in light and well it just looked to me as
01:27it would win straight underneath these back well they'll all be very sad or true
01:32a string hush a bit of a buzzer
01:46this was indirected also on no ball in Yorker what car used to build out and a
01:53what a beautiful ball and Tandorka one of the best figures in current cricket don't
01:58know anything about it and so does show about this so excited about it I'm sure
02:03it must be to get a great play like Tandorka out in his first ball this
02:08tremendous performance
02:13that is the delivery of great speed because you can see that then he was a
02:19little late
02:26number of the team
02:28didn't have much of a back lift he's got it away
02:39overstepping here
02:46this is beautifully played no chance for the
02:56appeal for leg before and it's given well I'm not too sure about that the
03:01empire's finger has gone up but
03:07beautifully struck
03:21no ball so many times in dissonance
03:28shorts on up bounce as I took his eyes off the ball but it was a
03:34good
03:35and he struck straight away lovely delivery that took the glove
03:40see that extra bounce there was a spin and extra bounce got the glove straight to
03:45the slips and was see my come didn't make any mistake
03:48to join his captain
03:50in the air taken
03:52he struck with his first delivery of a new spell
03:55Muhammad Azuruddin has hit it straight to the man at cover
04:04that ball was pretty away from his body and most probably
04:16and most probably
04:16and most probably
04:17and most probably
04:22and most probably
04:25and most probably
04:28the third
04:28it's a big risk
04:29there could be a run out here
04:32we have to wait for the signal
04:35Moyne collected it
04:36and threw it
04:37well the third umpire
04:39wants to be absolutely safe
04:46safe
04:50he's been given out leg before
04:59in the gap good timing
05:03will look to put up three
05:09that's interesting
05:11he won't take a chance he'll go for the TV umpire
05:16out of nowhere that throw came and hit the wickets
05:21and at first look Sachin looks to be safely in the crease that's what he's telling Rahul Drevid
05:26no problem my back was in we'll wait and see well this could be very interesting
05:33but Sachin Tendulkar is pretty sure that he's in
05:42there's a collision with the Schwab Akhtar
05:47well that's very very interesting i don't think any part of Sachin Tendulkar is in the crease the bat is
05:55definitely in the air his foot outside the crease this is interesting what happened was the bat was
06:03going along the ground in fact i think it had touched the ground but then at the time of impact
06:07at the time the ball hit the wicket the bat was in the air that's uh that is what my
06:13reading
06:15really that's what my reading is
06:19it's all a bit of a tangle there the left hand of the screen but well that's the picture that
06:25tells you the story
06:32this could be very unfortunate for Sachin
06:39although Schwab Akhtar's intentions
06:43were really to stop that ball from going to the boundary where it's been given out
06:47that's a big wicket for the Pakistanis
06:51it was always going to be a tough decision for the third umpire but in the end it was a
06:55correct one
06:56very very unfortunate Sachin Tendulkar here collision with the fielders and out of nothing the ball
07:04thrown from a distance of 75 yards very easy run that was just came and hit the wicket
07:12that doesn't happen too often and that tangle there with the fielder
07:16that really was the decider really feel sorry for this man tendulkar gone for nine and indiana 145 for
07:23three just a few missiles being held nothing serious
07:30i'm quite worried with the players coming onto the middle of the field away from the boundaries for
07:35the moment well they had all gathered here to see Sachin Tendulkar play a good mark they were
07:42disappointed and they're showing it out there in the middle but uh nothing serious
07:57well there you are the Pakistani fielder deciding to go back into the dressing room
08:05and really that's what the Giants screen here says Calcutta loves cricket please
08:15and this time he's got him with a short fish delivery is extremely good aimed towards the body
08:24that's what got him into trouble also playing straight
08:33was that a chance
08:39whatever it was it's boundary to the indian total 176 for four
08:51is that out yes he is this was very well bowled by
08:56this acclaimed mustak just a little bit of flight a little more turn
09:02my mother stuck has been plotting this kind of a dismissal
09:07yes a batten pad as a trying to hit it a little too but he's gone for 20 india lose
09:15he's gone for a big one this time he's hit it straight
09:22the boundary line
09:25big shout he's out lbw mann mondia not fully forward
09:37he's out he's 10-step delivery outside the offstop simple catch there
09:45and azar mahmoud's taken that catch
09:48cold well pitched up just moving away from the left hander gangly playing away from the body
09:55hanging his bat at that one and was nicely taken by azar mahmoud
10:17it's up in the air has he taken it now he's not there for the drive in the bat in
10:25the air and a
10:25brilliant take by shard afridi it's a wonderful catch diving in front it's always difficult but
10:33he's timed his dive to perfection this is a outstanding catch indeed
10:42he's been pointing
10:43pointing bottles being formed onto the field of play
10:57this is quite unnecessary
11:06the ground was humming with almost 70,000 people now look at that absolutely deserted
11:17it's good to see some cricket to give us the result
11:34it was golden quite expected and after again gets it on the spot and the
11:41Pakistanis Javed Miadad and Khalid Mehmood all ready to welcome their team back
