A controversial run-out at the wrong time

10 most embarrassing crowd moments in the cricketing history 1

A Cricketing clash between India and Pakistan is never short of a drama but things went a bit too far during an ill-tempered Test match at Kolkata in 1999.

Following Sachin Tendulkar’s controversial run-out at a critical stage of the match, the Pakistani players were pelted by bottles and other objects by the furious Indian crowd. During a three-hour hold-up in the day’s play police and security officials evicted more than 65,000 spectators from the ground.
