Recalling the 1996 World Cup quarter-final match against India, former Pakistan pacer Waqar Younis revealed that they were "shocked by the way Aamer Sohail was behaving on the field". During the 15th over, Sohail had pointed to the boundary with the bat after smashing Venkatesh Prasad for a four. Prasad then clean bowled Sohail on the very next ball.
