It’s 1984. India are playing Pakistan in an ODI in Sialkot and delivering their best performance of the tour. Suddenly the match was called off midway. What could be the reason?
If you ask this question to a person who regularly attends quiz programs, you would get the answer very fast - the then prime minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated and therefore Indian team returned home. Regular quizzers say it’s quite easy to find the answer if you focus on a question along with some general knowledge. For example, let’s take this particular question. A match would have been called off either due to diplomatic issues between two countries or if some important person passes away. The clue to the answer here is the year 1984. This is how a quizzer would think. Can you answer such questions? And if you are ready, are you in for a weekend full of quiz events?
