Indian cricket was reborn in Kolkata in 2001. India had a "Wall", Aussies found their eternal nemesis in Laxman and Ganguly marched on to build a legacy as a captain like no other.

[@1234rediff]

These days KZbin is filled with millions of cricket reactions , but what makes CFA special is the knowledge of the game. You two are special as you both genuinely love this game and we love you fir that

[@CricketforAmericans]

Thanks so much. It helps tremendously to have such amazing viewers such as yourself Parikshit.

[@natr4535]

I agree with parki.

[@dc7916]

Exactly i second third and million that!!

[@Orgasmatron76]

That test match was one of the greatest of all time. India through Laxman & Dravid did find a miracle, Waugh’s Australia was at the peak of there powers 16 Test victories in a row. They were on their way to an easy series victory in India. One has to remember how many of the greatest test matches that have involved Australia. It is Australia who continues to fight in these matches that brings about some of the greatest results. They either fight so hard they create multiple opportunities to win or they force their opponents to come up with greatness to beat them.

[@jehanariyaratnam2874]

This was probably the best comeback ever in test cricket. There was no way india were getting out of this test match without losing halfway through, but Dravid and Laxman batted all day and turned it around. This match is the reason Australia never enforce the follow on to this day. I was 13 years old at the time and was watching and waiting for that wicket but it never came....

[@bitoffbalance4021]

But you do not find batsmen like those today . Not even one , forget about two . So decision making based on a 20 year old incident makes no senses right now.

Finally you got know about the miracle test win and the legendary series. This made Lakshman the legend he was and Dravid the wall.

[@natasatp]

Wow, thanks for reacting to it. I requested a reaction on the highlights of this test. But this was a great video

I always appreciate when they talk about other sports in relation to cricket. I always learn something new and helps me relate to other sports.

[@lastmanstanding8992]

*I don't have any memory of that match didn't know much about Cricket then but remember Wankhede low scoring match where India smashed Aus despite scoring low. However Kolkata and Laxman thing is a big anchor of modern India Test Cricket rise. The other thing we know Laxman and Rohit Sharma are the guys who smashed Australia anyday anytime in Cricket. Dravid was the biggest brand of test Cricket*

[@Killjoy1204]

Great video, I was spactical at first looking at the length of the video that how is he going to show highlights of whole test! But while he didn’t show the highlights but he showed the story behind that match and that great inning ( in my opinion best partnership ever)!

[@rajat.k.sharma8165]

After that match. World cricket has been more cautious in giving Follow on. Remarkable comeback.

[@Deuwl]

I watched this game live from Sydney, Australia. I used to stay up late. I thought it was over when they were asked to follow on. When Sachin got out, I thought it was over. I was actually going for the indians coz I used to go for the non white teams as the Aussies used to sledge to win and I didn't like it. Then, Dravid and Laxman came on. When they both got centuries, I didn't think they would keep going. It was fascinating to watch. Dravid was notorious of being so slow at scoring i.e. nicknamed the Wall. A player similar to Pujara. And yet, he was playing shots all over the park. You guys should watch the highlights of that match. It was fucking epic. I really appreciate the fact you guys understand what this Test cricket is about.

[@vipulupadhyay3678]

You should really watch this match's highlights. It was the most famous indian test win for 90's generation

[@cricketdon6411]

Indian cricketing legends Sachin Rahul Dravid Sehwag Ganguly Laxman Anil kumble Harbhajan Singh

[@rajeshdevaguptapu5474]

I think the more appropriate way to say this would be 90s legends... Because there were Gundappa Vishwanath, Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Bishen Singh Bedi, Erapalli Prasanna, Bhagwat Chandrashekar, Venkataraghavan, Vengsarkar and many others before them and even modern greats like Yuvraj, Dhoni, Kohli and others after.

[@suvodipbarman2871]

Sourav Ganguly said this match changed Indian Cricket. It gave them belief, belief that they can beat anyone.

[@michaelwebster8389]

I remember that game, it was the biggest turnaround I've ever seen - and turned around the entire series. Laxman and Dravid were brilliant. I think we sorely missed Warne in that series too, because he was on a ban.

[@michaelwebster8389]

Wrong series - looks like Warne was there.

[@bisweswarsenchowdhury2646]

This was one of the best test victories. Love Dravid and Laxman from Pakistan.

[@kavanpuranik98]

Amazon should Hire this channel to write a docu-series like the test

[@dharmikpatel3941]

Vidic, a football (soccer) defender, once said "you can mend a broken nose but you can't undo a goal scored against you". That's the spirit with which Dravid played his entire career

[@calmbuddhist7977]

You guys have got to watch the highlights of this match. On day 4, they both played and got 360+ runs, and did not lose a single wicket. One aussie player had brought out a pack of cigars to smoke for when they bowl India out on Day 4 and win the series, Adam Gilchrist to this day, says that was a bad omen and eventually contributed to them losing the series from leading 1-0.

[@phanirajsrinivasch8108]

The SCG test in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar series is also one such kind of heroic innings ever played by Indian batamen.. But the Gabba roit which happened later had overshadowed the SCG match.. For me, both SCG and Gabba matches were legendary in their own right..

[@shubhammahli871]

You know, during 2011 World Cup, Yuvraj Singh was suffering from Cancer. And there were matches when Yuvraj was vomiting blood on the field while batting, Umpire asked him to leave and he refused. He won India the Semi Final against Australia and made India to the Finals. And He became the Man Of The Tournament while suffering Cancer.

[@iamtheboss7609]

I was there on the stadium.... i saw mirracle happening in front of our shocking eyes....we did not even seat on the bench entire 4th and 5th day...just can't express in words what had happened

[@akshayraut682]

I don't remember this game because I was one of them who turned off tv after Sachin got out but what dravid and laxman did that day was inspiring and I still regret not to watch it live 😭

Before the toss Ganguly deliberately came late for the toss and made Steve Waugh wait for sometime in the middle. Waugh got angry and forced India for a follow-on to take revenge which was backfired for his team

[@scyber_avatar]

You guys should really watch the highlights video of this match .. Its a milestone in Indian Cricket and first turning point for Team India of this century towards becoming the Cricket Superpower that Indian team is today. Before this match and subsequent other turning points ... Indian team was always in bottom half of ranking table .. Indian bowling was considered one of weakest .. fielding was pathetic .. Batting heavily dependant on Sachin Tendulkar .. and Team India was marred by big match-fixing scandals & corruption.

[@asimsingh]

Shoaib Akhtar once said in an interview , dravid is the hardest batsman he has bowled to. He just wasted balls. All day long.

[@rishabhsharma8189]

It will be very difficult for any cricket fan anywhere in the world to give a counter option for the greatest test innings of all times. I don't think any test innings has been better than this one in kolkata. Specially considering it was against the Ausies of nineties. The Ausies of Steve Waugh.
