Watch: Robin Uthappa Reminisces On Bowl Out Memories In The 2007 20-20 World Cup

A lot of Indian fans have great memories of the bowl-out during the India-Pakistan Group match in the 2007 20-20 World Cup. For India, Robin Uthappa, Virender Sehwag, and Harbhajan Singh took the initiative to hit the stumps. The trio was successful while their Pakistan counterparts failed to hit the stumps even once. After 15 years of the incident, Uthappa has reminisced on what happened before the bowl-out.

Apparently, in a video uploaded by ESPNcricinfo, the right-hander said that players such as Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, and himself were hitting the stumps regularly during the practice sessions. The Karnataka player added that when the situation arrived, he asked the then skipper of the team, MS Dhoni, to let him bowl. The rest is history.
