Dawood entered Indian dressing room and offered Toyota car


New Delhi, Oct 28 2013: In a big revelation, former Indian cricketer Dilip Vengsarkar has claimed that underworld don Dawood Ibrahim had offered car to each member of Indian cricket team including Kapil Dev as a reward if they defeated Pakistan in the final of Austral-Asia Cup in 1986.
Vengsarkar revealed that after the pre-match press conference, Dawood visited the Indian dressing room and was introduced as a businessman.

He said that if Indian team defeated Pakistan in the Austral-Asia Cup final, being played in Sharjah, he will gift Toyota car to each member of the Indian team.

Kapil entered the dressing room and enquired about the presence Dawood, apparently unaware who he was. He promptly asked him to vacate the room.

Angered by Kapil’s reaction, Dawood left the dressing room and cancelled his offer.

The series is most remembered for the last-ball six by Javed Miandad off Chetan Sharma in the final that helped Pakistan win their first Sharjah trophy.
