Asia Cup ended the career of 2 captains of Team India, defeat against Pakistan and then allegations of fixing

New Delhi. Along with Indian cricket, players also had to see bad days both on and off the field. One such incident happened 23 years ago on this day. On June 3, 2000, in the Asia Cup match played in Dhaka, Pakistan defeated India by 44 runs. This match proved to be the last international match for the 2 captains of the team. Where Mohammad Azharuddin could score only one run in the match, Ajay Jadeja scored 93 runs. After this, due to match-fixing in December 2000, BCCI banned Azharuddin for life and Jadeja was banned for 5 years.

Mohammad Azharuddin is counted among the legendary captains of India, while Ajay Jadeja led Team India in 13 ODIs. In the Asia Cup match, Pakistan had scored 295 runs for 7 wickets while playing first. Mohammad Yusuf scored an excellent century. He remained unbeaten after scoring 100 runs off 112 balls. Captain Main Khan scored 46 and Sain Anwar scored 43 runs. Leg-spinner Anil Kumble took 3 wickets for 43 runs from India. Ajit Agarkar and Amit Bhandari got 2-2 wickets.

Razzaq scatters Team India
Chasing the big target, the start of Team India was not good. Captain Sourav Ganguly became the victim of Wasim Akram by scoring 8 runs. After this, fast bowler Abdul Razzaq dismissed Sachin Tendulkar (25), Rahul Dravid (26) and Mohammad Azharuddin (1) and pushed Team India far behind in the match. Ajay Jadeja tried to handle the team by scoring 93 runs off 103 balls, but he could not win. The Indian team got out after scoring 251 runs in the 48th over. Razzaq took 4 wickets for 29 runs. Arshad Khan also got 2 wickets.

Team India announced for Asia Cup, will clash with Pakistan on foreign soil, now the calculation will be done

Once again the discussion is going on about the Asia Cup. Pakistan has got the hosting of the tournament, but the BCCI has refused to send the team there. Pakistan Cricket Board wants to conduct the tournament on hybrid model, then BCCI is adamant on the demand of neutral venue. In such a situation, the venue of the tournament of 6 countries to be held in September has not been decided yet.
