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.
The 21-year-old was impressive during the tour, with a highest of 91 and another half century to total 259 in the four-match series that an injury-ravaged India won 2-1.
The stylish Laxman waxes humble but deep on his magical chef d’oeuvre from 20 years ago. That 281 was part of a process that taught everyone life lessons, he says.
The Aussies rolled into India like an invincible juggernaut, and demolished Wankhede. But there was Bhajji, a man possessed, and then VVS-Dravid happened…. I didn’t move an inch.
Twenty years ago, over two hot March days at the Eden Gardens, India came back from the dead to beat Australia. We bask in the sunshine of that past glory, in the company of some heroes who made it happen.
