Description

Relive the dramatic twists of the 1999 World Cup as Rajdeep Sardesai and Nikhil Naz delve into the heart of cricket history. From India's lackluster campaign to Lance Klusener's near-heroics, discover the pressures that cost South Africa the Cup. Could Klusener have turned the tide? Explore the era when cricket in England meant lush green pitches and gripping matches. This World Cup marked the end of the Azharuddin era and heralded a new batting dominance for India, with the rise of legends like Dravid, Ganguly, and Laxman, shaping a new order. The duo discuss the nail-biting semi-final clash that saw Australia triumph and South Africa falter. Was it really Herschelle Gibbs' dropped catch that changed the game? Steve Waugh's words echo in the air as the Aussies clinch victory in a tense semi final against South africa and later against Pakistan in the finals. Listen in to dive into the memorable, if not turbulent, journey of the 1999 World Cup. Produced by Anna Priyadarshini Sound Mix by Sachin Dwivedi
