Sanjay Manjrekar's tricky question decoded by fans as they have only one answer

Sanjay Manjrekar came forward and posted a video where a West Indian left-handed batsman was castled by a brilliant piece of bowling by 'Mysore Express' Javagal Srinath during an ODI match between India and West Indies in the early 90s. This probably might have happened when the two teams had locked horns in the World Series 1991/92 which had also featured Australia preceding the 1992 World Cup Down Under.

Sanjay Manjrekar asks a tricky question

After sharing the video, Manjrekar asked the fans whether the ball had done the trick back then as it does not do much these days, did the pitches of those days have something in it or were it the batsmen who made bowling look better? 

However, the fans had only one answer and they hailed pacer Javagal Srinath who was the man behind this incredible delivery. One fan also said without any hesitation that it was indeed the 'Ball of the Century'.
