Former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad has recently given a befitting reply to a journalist, who said that Pakistan batsman Aamer Sohail’s dismissal in a 1996 World Cup quarter-final match was the speedster’s “only achievement in his career”.

However, Prasad took to Twitter and tweeted “Me to Aamir Sohail in Bangalore at 14.5- #IndiraNagarkaGunda hoon main” along with the screenshots of his verbal spat with the Pakistan player during the game. Sohail at first hit a boundary off Prasad and they had some words as well. And then the pacer had the last laugh as he cleaned up Sohail on the very next ball as well.

Prasad only achievement in his career 😜😁😁
