Steve Waugh's Australia were the team to beat at that time and a youthful Indian team could take the fight to the enemy camp. That was the beauty of the series
Harbhajan Singh took 13 wickets in that famous win against Australia at in 2001. He feels Sachin Tendulkar’s three wickets in the second innings were no less significant than his wickets
Twenty years ago on this day (March 14), VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid batted the entire fourth day of that famous Test match between India vs Australia at Eden Gardens.
