1996 Cricket World cup song-Chokra

[nishantkapoor210888]

Bhaijaan, i was searching for this song... Chokra Chokra. I can barely remember the video. I was a little kid then. Can u pleeeeeeeeease tell more about the song? The artist, or anything? :)

The South Asian solidarity was at its best as Sri Lanka played the 1996 World Cup final in Lahore as the whole of Pakistan supported Arjuna Ranatunga’s side.

[farhandafunk]

The flight that Wettimuny was piloting was given VVIP treatment. "It was a nice flight in the sense that every controller knew that the World Cup was on board. Normally you have to find an airway, but they gave me shortcuts to Colombo so that I could take the team home fast. Every controller sent congratulations. It was so nice. I still remember a Pakistan Airlines flight waiting to take off and they said, ‘Air Lanka, you go first. You are cleared to take off.’ It was fantastic," Wettimuny

[farhandafunk]

"It will go down in the history of sports. I don’t think they would have supported their own country that way. If a Sri Lankan went shopping that day, he would not have had to pay for shopping. They gave goods free. At restaurants they gave food free. The only thing you had to say was that you were Sri Lankan. We wouldn’t’ have done that for Pakistan, but Pakistan did it to us," Wettimuny added.

[farhandafunk]

"I have never seen a nation supporting another nation like that," Wettimuny

Goodluck 2 Srilanka 4 2011 worldcup. i am a Pakistani and I realistically want 2 mention that Pakistan lost the 1996 worldcup because of match-fixing of most of the players , otherwise this song would have been related 2 Pakistan.

[dgsdru]

i'm really proud to be a sri lankan.. 1996 ,i was 11 years old. i watched each and every match in this world cup. in the final day i was cried so much because happy of the day.my mother was also same .At that time sanath,aravinda,kalu,arjuna, were my favorite palyers.

Today after 14 years , actually now i m not interesting cricket. Because of sri lankan team. Those days they were played for their country not for money. But today everything change .money ,money,money. not their country
