1996, India versus Sri Lanka, World Cup Semi Final
Tournament: Wills World Cup
Venue: Calcutta, India
India was cruising through at 98 for 1, chasing Sri Lanka's decent score of 251. But the spin Sri Lankan spinners extracted from the Eden pitch went on to dismiss seven Indian players within just 22 runs.
India's new found batting hero Sachin Tendulkar set the ball rolling with 65 runs, but that was not enough to arrest the surging run rate. With the fall of 8th wicket, the crowd went berserk. Clive Lloyd, the match referee had to abandon the match and Sri Lanka won by default. It was the moment of immense heartbreak for Indian fans and Vinod Kambli was seen shedding tears in front of TV cameras.
