The most hilarious and all-time famous moment came during the 1992 World Cup, when India faced Pakistan for the very first time at the grand stage. Kiran More and Javed Miandad had a verbal spat on the striker's end and during Sachin Tendulkar's over, after a runout attempt, Javed Mianded ramdomly started jumping in the air, which was directed towards Kiran More with an intention of mocking.

Another incident, which came during the Australia Vs Pakistan Test match in 1983, saw Javed Miandad bowl hilariously. The Pakistani great was a right-arm leg spinner but during the Test, started bowling seam up deliveries and pace bowling, and while doing so, he mimicked and copied the action of the likes of Dennis Lillee, Rodney Hogg, which left the crowd, players, commentators cracked, as they were all laughing and enjoying the iconic moment.
