Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @cricketmax87   A superb innings from Mohammad Azharuddin guided India to a memorable victory over West Indies in the Wills World Series ODI at Madras on 23 October 1994. West Indies appeared to be in complete control early in their innings when Brian Lara and Carl Hooper built a magnificent 112-run partnership for the third wicket. Their partnership placed the visitors in a commanding position. However, the turning point came when Sachin Tendulkar trapped Lara leg-before wicket, ending the dangerous stand. Shortly after, Jimmy Adams and Carl Hooper were dismissed within two runs, triggering a sudden collapse that restricted West Indies to 221, a total that ultimately proved insufficient. India’s chase started poorly when the West Indian new-ball bowlers removed Navjot Sidhu and Sachin Tendulkar early, putting the hosts under pressure. But Mohammad Azharuddin played a captain’s innings, scoring a magnificent 81 off 84 balls, keeping India ahead of the required rate throughout the chase. After Azharuddin’s dismissal with India 27 runs away from victory, Nayan Mongia calmly guided the team home, securing a four-wicket win. 🏏 Match Result: India won by 4 wickets 📍 Venue: Madras (Chennai) 📅 Date: 23 October 1994 🎖 Man of the Match: Mohammad Azharuddin ⭐ International Debut: Sherwin Campbell (West Indies) This match is remembered for Azharuddin’s elegant strokeplay and India’s composed run chase against a strong West Indies side. #indvswi #thriller #cricketmax #highlights #worldseries #india #westindies
