Former Indian pacer Venkatesh Prasad shared a hilarious post on the micro-blogging site, trolling retired Pakistan cricketer Aamir Sohail using the ‘Indiranagar ka Gunda’ hashtag and has left everyone in splits.
For the uninitiated, Rahul Dravid and ‘Indiranagar ka goonda’ have been trending on social media ever since a commercial for a credit card bill payment app featuring him went crazily viral. In the advertisement, Dravid apparently stepped out of his comfort zone and was seen in a totally different avatar.
Taking a cue from the advertisement, Venkatesh Prasad joined the ‘Indiranagar ka Gunda’ chorus. Venkatesh shared some iconic images of his battle with Sohail during the famous 1996 World Cup’s quarterfinal match in Bengaluru. Sharing the pictures, Venkatesh wrote:
“Me to Aamir Sohail in Bangalore at 14.5- #IndiraNagarkaGunda hoon main.”

During the iconic match, after smashing Prasad for a boundary, Aamir Sohail pointed his bat towards the same direction where he had hit the four, indicating that he would punish him again. However, what happened next is legendary. Venkatesh Prasad then gave him a wild send-off that still goes as one of the iconic dismissals.
Meanwhile, the tweet went viral in no time and was flooded with amazing reactions from the fans on it. Among many, Pakistan’s sports anchor Najeeb ul Hasnain also took to his twitter and tried to troll Prasad by claiming that it was his only achievement in his career. He wrote:
“Prasad only achievement in his career”
The tweet soon caught the attention of Venkatesh who came up with an epic reply. In his reply, Prasad cited some of his achievements against Pakistan. 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.”
