- Legendary batsman struck last ball maximum to lead Pakistan to victory in the final of the Austral-Asia Cup.
On this day on 18, April, 1986, Pakistan legend Javed Miandad struck a final ball six to hand India defeat in the final of the Austral-Asia Cup.
It became an iconic moment in cricket history that still gives goosebumps whenever you recall it. The feat is remarkable as Pakistan needed four runs off the final ball. Miandad did not succumb to pressure and sent the ball out of the park bowled by Chetan Sharma, giving the cricket fans a memory to cherish forever.
The men in green needed 246 to win the match and were reduced to 61/3. Miandad walked out to bat and played a blinder of 116 not out. In this innings he struck three boundaries and same number of maximums.
Today, fans and former cricketers share the iconic clip with interesting comments to relive the moment of history.
