Cricket is a game of pride and honour. We generally see it as a "Gentleman's Game". But there are some instance where it also becomes a bizzare and funny. In the second ODI of the 1997 Sahara Cup between India and Pakistan, held in Toronto, Canada, Pakistan was defending a modest total of 116. During India’s chase, with Sourav Ganguly at the crease and the score at 45/1, Pakistan’s Inzamam ul Haq reacted to taunts from a spectator who repeatedly mocked him by calling him “aloo” (potato).
Frustrated, Inzamam grabbed a bat, climbed into the stands, and confronted the spectator, an action that sparked controversy and led to a temporary suspension.
