1997 Pepsi Independence Cup
The 1997 Pepsi Independence Cup was a prestigious limited-overs cricket tournament held in India from July 24 to August 3, 1997, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of India's independence. The competition featured a unique triangular format, involving the national teams of India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Organized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the tournament consisted of a series of matches culminating in a final held at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Sri Lanka emerged victorious, defeating India in a thrilling final, thereby reinforcing their status as a dominant force in international cricket. This event was notable for its intense rivalries, particularly between India and Pakistan, and contributed to the growing popularity of one-day internationals (ODIs) in the Indian subcontinent.
