Nothing beats this innings ever. Absolute legend innings this was...when the openers were gone in the very first over, infront of a vociferous Indian crowd, the absoloute heat of India and the pressure of being in the very FIRST semi final in a Worldcup! This is what legendary folk lore means when a warrior walks into a dragon's lair against all odds and comes out with the dragon's head.
Just when we thought that the dangerous Sanath, Kalu and Gurusinghe is gone. Dreaming that we will win this semi, Play the final, Win the 96 Wills World Cup... Then Aravinda Came. One of the best counter attacking innings in a World Cup match.
Aravinda's best odi innings. I'd rate it more than his final hundred because he came in front 1 lakh people when 2 wickets fell for just nothing. The most gorgeous shots you'll ever see
Aravinda is a true hero.. He always played his best in Finals/ Sem-finals and also when chips are down... His stats may not be as good as some of the greats, but when it comes to crunch games, he is one of the best ever to do... He would put the pressure back on the opposition... Absolute icon of Sri Lankan Cricket and one of the Greatest ODI players of all-time 💥
This is the first time I saw the whole innings there was a few balls where Aravinda defended accurately He treated most balls on its merits but with an attacking mindset in a high pressure situation which is still unmatched!
Aravinda de Silva was a stylish and aggresive batsman from Sri Lanka who was second to none. His contribution to Sri Lankan cricket was immense.Aravinda De Silva was the man of the match in the 1996 World Cup final.
The best spell ever done by a Srilankan batsman in a big stage like this. The most positively impacted spell ever made by a Sri Lankan batsman for Sri Lankan cricket. It is such a master piece to witness ever in SL cricket history!!
Everyone talked about Kalu and Jayasuriya in this CWC. They didn't both fail until this match, and the depth of the SL batting came to the fore. Aravinda, Mahanama, Ranatunga and Hashan Tillekeratne were all very capable (2x of them averaged over 40 in tests). And then, Jayawardena, Sangakkara, Atapattu, Russel Arnold and Dilshan took them into the 21st century.
Aravinda De Silva was the Man of the match both in Semi final & Final in World Cup 1996 after Mohinder Amarnath who got the Man of the match title both Semi final & Final in 1983 World Cup
Had Aravinda de Silva concentrated more on Cricket than doing his private business he would have scored more international runs. He even lost 2 years of cricket during his prime years when Sri Lanka cricket board drop him for over weight. Anyway he is the best cricketer Sri Lanka every produced surpassing Sangakkara and Mahela.
This knock took away the match from India in the semi final of World Cup 1996. Moh'd Azharuddin did not read the pitch correctly. Even though Moh'd Azharuddin did not read the pitch correctly, he should have opted to bat on winning the toss.
Truth is SL were a much better team than India during late nineties..India were too dependent on Sachin..Bowling was decent..Sl had a deep batting with many match winners and their fielding was much superior to other Asian teams
1996 Word Cup even if they had to chase they would have done so comfortably. They proved this in the final, first team to bat second and win a world cup up until that time.
Venkatesh Prasad, Venkatpathy Raju, Sanjay Manjarekar, Vinod Kambli, Manoj Prabhakar, Nayan Mongia- 6 names in the Indian team of that time, who could lose a game for India even if Match fixers had fixed the game in 'favor' of India.
There will be a another srilankan will come to eden gardens with in near future where india will lost i will not mentioned the players name but he is ready take that india by tony greig
Even Indians were in awe from this innings, lot of applause when he completed his 50. It was calculated and aggressive batting, beautiful inning.

Aravinda is the best batsman Sri Lanka ever produced.🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍
Amazing, iconic footage. When Eden Gardens had a capacity of 120,000 - there'll never be another ground like it. Thanks for the upload
Good days...
Aravinda's best odi innings.
I'd rate it more than his final hundred because he came in front 1 lakh people when 2 wickets fell for just nothing.
The most gorgeous shots you'll ever see
The best non-century innings of all time.

One of the greatest ODI innings I ever seen
Seriously Aravinda.. what a player❤❤❤
De Silva silencing a large Indian crowd way before Pat Cummins did in 2023....

Aravinda the legend

One of the best world cup innings. What a knock. 56 out of 66 runs in boundries, incredible.

Commentators saying arrogantly playing are the ones said no to fire when it first discovered.
Unsung hero
Whata cricket .......❤❤❤❤
Best batsman produced by SL.
This knock took away the match from India in the semi final of World Cup 1996. Moh'd Azharuddin did not read the pitch correctly. Even though Moh'd Azharuddin did not read the pitch correctly, he should have opted to bat on winning the toss.
Uski shakal thi kya pitch read karne wali 😂😂😂😂
Sri Lanka won all the matches that they chased, that's probably why SL were put to bat first
Truth is SL were a much better team than India during late nineties..India were too dependent on Sachin..Bowling was decent..Sl had a deep batting with many match winners and their fielding was much superior to other Asian teams
1996 Word Cup even if they had to chase they would have done so comfortably. They proved this in the final, first team to bat second and win a world cup up until that time.
This match was like tragedy
Aravinda is world best batman
Hii plz upload aravinda 100 in ist game nidahas trophy 98
He did not left one ball throughout the innings
Aravinda very very best batman in srilanka
Aravinda❤
Anirudh Karla pls upload Sachin's ball by ball innings of this match.
Match that we looking for
Even back then Indian commentators were constantly being shady.
Venkatesh Prasad, Venkatpathy Raju, Sanjay Manjarekar, Vinod Kambli, Manoj Prabhakar, Nayan Mongia- 6 names in the Indian team of that time, who could lose a game for India even if Match fixers had fixed the game in 'favor' of India.
😂😂
Thanx 😊 🙏
century he scored in the finals was nothing compared to this inning
World number one top player AVS
Thank you anirudh
Why Kumble bowled so early in the innings.. Azhar should have started with Prasad as in the earlier matches...this move backfired badly
In 90’s batsmen were waiting for Prasad to improve their strike rate. 😅😂😅
ජයාට බෝල් කරද්දී ඕනම bolar කෙනෙක් බයයි.
නමුත් අරාට බෝල් කරන්න බය නෑ .ඒත් අවසානෙට bolar මානසිකව වැටිලා පිස්සු හැදෙනවා.මොකද ආතති නෑ,බය ගගෑවිලාවත් නෑ.මාරම සන්සුන් අවසානෙට match එකත් ගොඩ.
අරවින්දටත් එහෙම තමා. අරවින්ද බැට් කරන්න එද්දි වකා යුනුස්ගෙ ඉස්පෙල් එක නවත්වනවා.
Azhar why on earth didn’t you have a slip for Kumble man , could’ve got him on the very 2nd ball he faced😢
I think aravinda deliberately played that shot because of no slip...
@@vinodhkumar6487yes ,That 's not a thick edge.It's a deliberate shot
No visor No problem.🗿
Kumbail ko doosre over mai lana panauti saabit hua
There will be a another srilankan will come to eden gardens with in near future where india will lost i will not mentioned the players name but he is ready take that india by tony greig
I believe Sri Lanka won the 1996 World Cup by luck. Judging by team quality, either West Indies or Pakistan should have won.
No you nitwit mallu this lankan team were tigers especially Legend Aravinda
classs
