1999
The first Test between Pakistan and India for nine years ended today at Chennai, and it was a classic. A see-saw game went this way and that, and when 18-year-old Shahid Afridi belted 141 to take Pakistan to 275 for 4 (a lead of 263), the tourists were in charge. Then Venkatesh Prasad took 5 for 0 in 18 balls, and India were left to chase 271. They collapsed to 81 for 5 before Sachin Tendulkar, with a glorious 136, took them to 254 for 6 – just 17 away from victory. Then Tendulkar holed out off Saqlain Mushtaq and the tail was swept away. Saqlain finished with ten wickets as Pakistan won by 12 runs.

I was recently at a tea where Wasim Akram was the chief guest.
in reply to a question (asked by me incidently) he said that the Chennai watch was the most memorable match he played in (after the 92 WC final ofcourse)
