During India vs Pakistan nail-biting thriller in the 1996 World Cup, an angry Venkatesh Prasad had sent Pakistan's Aamer Sohail's stump cartwheeling after the later had challenged to hit him for a second boundary.

Venkatesh Prasad, sharing a collage of the famous incident on twitter, wrote in the caption of his post: "Me to Aamir Sohail in Bangalore at 14.5 - #IndiraNagarkaGunda hoon main."

A Twitter user named Najeeb Ul Hasnain tried to troll the former Indian fast-bowler by replying to Prasad's tweet: "Prasad only achievement in his career."

Prasad was quick to give him a befitting reply as he wrote: "Nahi Najeeb Bhai. Had reserved some achievements for later. In the very next World cup in Eng in 1999, took 5/27 at Manchester against Pakistan and they were unable to chase 228. God bless you."

India had scored 287/8 while batting first in this match. Navjot Singh Sidhu had scored 93 and Ajay Jadeja had scored 45 runs. Pakistan's Wasim Akram was not playing in this match due to injury and Aamer Sohail was handed over the captaincy of the Pakistani team.

India had defeated Pakistan by 39 runs in the match with Venkatesh Prasad ending up picking three wickets for 45 runs.
