Sledging is a part of the game. Opposition team do it to make the Batsmen lose his concentration lapse and get out. Sometimes it works the other way... where the batsmen gives it back to the bowlers by their stroke-making, which results in regret to the opposition team.
Here we share our Top 12 Best Replies to Sledging in Cricket History. There are several Australian players in the list and why am I not surprised?🌝🌝🌝🌝

Well, Birds of same feather flock together. Australian crowd at SCG booed the aggressive virat and he replied by showing his middle finger🖕. The image made headlines on every newspaper. On the continuous banter of the Australian crowd, virat decided to give it back. Australian crowd were confused🌚 by the gesture of Virat kohli giving it back to them.

8. Sachin Tendulkar Vs Abdul Qadir
Many people sledged Sachin Tendulkar but he always did the talk with his bat. In 1989, then16 year old Sachin is just starting his career. Due to poor light, the international match which was scheduled to happen was postponed. To satisfy crowd, they played a exhibition 20 over match. Pakistan crowd were holding placards " Hey Little baby, drink some milk". Sachin hit the spinner Mushtaq a couple of sixes. Senior Abdul Qadir came and sledged " Why are you hitting kids, try and hit me?" As sachin is such a good person, he obliged to the request and the over read 6..0..4...6..6..6. well it isn't his fault and how could he know what the 16 year old prodigy is going to do in World cricket.😁💥
7. Dennis lillee Vs Everyone 🙄
Some Cricketers play to sledge. Dennis lillee was one of them. Everytime a batsman comes to crease, he went up and tell them.." well, there is a reason why you are not playing well. There is some "Shit" at the end of your bat."
And if any Batsman fall for it, they check the end of the bat and Dennis Lillee hilariously replies " Wrong end mate!"😁
6. Viv Richards Vs Greg Thomas
Vivian Richards was playing a county in England. The England bowler Greg Thomas made Richards miss a few and decided to take a dig at him.
Greg Thomas: "It's red. It's round. Now fucken hit it".
And Richards hit the next ball out of the park and gave a befitting reply.
Viv Richards: " well you know how it looks, now go and get it."

3. Eddo Brandes Vs Glenn McGrath
Australia Vs Zimbabwe. Well, Australia knocked Zimbabwe out of tournament by 125 runs, and that is one side of story. Eddo Bandes was number 11 batsman. When he came to batting , Glenn McGrath started Sledging and it went like this.
Glenn McGrath: "why are you so fat?"
Eddo Brandes: "Coz, everytime I make love to your wife, she gives me a biscuit!"
2. Andrew Flintoff Vs Yuvraj Singh
Stirring up a Hornet's nest is what would be the perfect description here. It was during the 2007 T20 world cup, India vs England. Yuvraj has hit Flintoff a couple of boundaries of good balls. Flintoff went and sledged Yuvraj.
Flintoff: "I'LL RIP YOUR FUCKIN THROAT OFF"
Yuvraj: "YOU SEE THIS BAT IN MY HAND. YOU KNOW WHERE IAM GONNA HIT YOU WITH THIS".
Dhoni tried to calm things down. What happened next was once in a century. The 🐝 🐝 🐝🐝 🐝🐝in the hornet had fallen on Stuart Broad then a young 21 year old. And the result is 6..6..6..6..6..6. Yuvraj has smoked him all-over the park. Initially it was not in Yuvraj mind, credit to Flintoff, which became his biggest regret and Young Broad had a life long scar.
Finally the Top One......💥💥💥
1. Venkatesh Prasad Vs Aamir Sohail
Speaking of the classic Revenge Examples.... couldn't find a better one than India Vs Pakistan 1996 worldcup Quarter Finals. India set a total of 288 runs at Chinna Swamy Stadium, Banglore. Pakistan Openers saeed Anwar and Aamir Sohail came all out on Indian bowlers and scored 104 runs in just 14 overs. Then came Venkatesh Prasad, Indian bowler on 15 th over conceded 5 runs in first 4 balls.
5th ball of the Over.
Aamir Sohail slapped the ball over covers and sledged Venkatesh Prasad pointing the ball direction and probably said "There is the ball". The charged up fast bowler(this is home ground too) went for the next run up. What happened next would be a regret to the opposition team.
6th ball of the over.
A quick in swinger uprooted the off stump of Aamir Sohail💥💥. Venkatesh Prasad kind of signalled him direction to Pavilion. The bowler did the talk with ball. And sure win pakistan changed its trajectory and went on to lose the match by 39 runs in a must win match in world cup. This will remain the best story for a long time. Pakistan paid a heavy price for it.
