A dramatic and unforgettable Test match — full of strokeplay, collapse, record-breaking innings, and one of the finest counterattacks in Indian cricket history.

South Africa won the toss, and D. Ganesh made his Test debut for India. What followed was a match of huge momentum swings, brilliant batting, and another dominant Proteas victory — despite one legendary partnership.

🏏 South Africa’s Mammoth First Innings
South Africa posted their highest Test total since readmission, powered by:
• Gary Kirsten – patient century (after surviving chances on 0 & 10)
• Daryl Cullinan – fluent innings
• Brian McMillan – superb hundred
• Lance Klusener – record-breaking 102 (100 balls) → fastest SA Test hundred at the time

Klusener and McMillan added 147 for the 8th wicket, breaking a 94-year-old South African partnership record.

🇮🇳 India’s Collapse Before the Fightback
India were 58/5, with:
• Raman run out
• Dravid bowled
• Prasad out first ball
• Ganguly caught at slip
• Laxman flicking to Pollock

South Africa seemed certain to enforce the follow-on…

🔥 The Historic 222-run Stand (in Just 40 Overs!)

Sachin Tendulkar (169) and Mohammad Azharuddin (115 off 110 balls) played one of the greatest counterattacking partnerships ever.

• 19 fours and a six from Azhar
• Klusener smashed for 30 in a 6-over spell
• Spectacular aggression despite India’s crisis
• Azhar run out at 197 partnership
• Tendulkar dismissed via a stunning catch by Adam Bacher
• India avoided the follow-on with 2 wickets in hand

One of the most entertaining Test cricket afternoons — even President Nelson Mandela watched on during the extended lunch presentation.

🏏 South Africa Take Control Again
India made early inroads, but:
• Hudson–Cullinan partnership
• McMillan–Pollock stand

…took the game away. Cronje declared with a lead of 426 runs, giving SA 118 overs to bowl India out — they needed only 67.

India’s batting collapsed again with poor shot selection, sealing another heavy defeat.

🏆 Match Details
• Man of the Match: Brian McMillan
• Attendance: 74,009

Sourav Ganguly produced one of the finest ODI innings of his career, smashing an unbeaten 135 to guide India to a commanding eight-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the 2000 Asia Cup at Dhaka.

Opening alongside Sachin Tendulkar, Ganguly launched a fearless assault from the very beginning.

The Coca-Cola Champions Trophy 1998 in Dhaka featured an intriguing contest between India and West Indies on October 31, 1998 (day/night match).

After winning the toss, India chose to bat first but immediately ran into trouble against the West Indies pace attack. Mervyn Dillon delivered a devastating opening spell, dismissing Sachin Tendulkar and Mohammad Azharuddin within his first three overs, putting India under early pressure.

Young fast bowler Reon King, playing his international debut, also impressed with a sharp spell of pace. With wickets falling at the other end, Sourav Ganguly struggled to find support, until Robin Singh helped stabilize the innings.

Despite India’s efforts, the total was never going to seriously challenge the West Indies batting line-up.

In reply, West Indies started aggressively, racing past 100 runs in just 15 overs. However, captain Brian Lara played a controlled and responsible innings, slowing down the tempo against India’s spinners to ensure there were no mistakes.

Interestingly, Lara appeared determined not to lose his personal battle with Sachin Tendulkar, choosing patience over risk as West Indies comfortably stayed ahead of the required run rate.

In the end, West Indies secured a comfortable six-wicket victory with three overs to spare, completing a professional chase.

In a scene that echoed the previous year, a packed Eden Gardens witnessed another India vs West Indies showdown under lights — and once again, India delivered a commanding victory. This time, after choosing to bat first, India produced a clinical, confident performance to win by 72 runs and seal the Wills World Series.

Openers Sachin Tendulkar and Ajay Jadeja set the tone with a fluent century stand, Tendulkar providing the spark with a brilliant 66 off 68 balls, while Jadeja anchored the innings. The momentum only grew stronger as Mohammad Azharuddin and Vinod Kambli took over, piling further pressure on the West Indies attack. Kambli shifted gears late, counterattacking to finish with an explosive 58 off 40 balls, taking India to a strong total of 275.

The chase fell apart early. Hopes of a West Indies comeback were crushed when:

Stuart Williams cut Srinath to Azharuddin,

Brian Lara dragged Prasad onto his stumps, and

Carl Hooper fell trying to force the issue.

Though Keith Arthurton battled on and Courtney Walsh stunned the crowd with three towering sixes off Venkatapathy Raju, it only reduced the damage — not the result. The visitors improved on the previous year’s defeat, but the gap still stood at 72 runs.

🏆 Man of the Match: Sachin Tendulkar
🏆 Man of the Series: Sachin Tendulkar

A night of dominance, precision, and Tendulkar’s class — a final Eden Gardens remembers.

3rd Test – Australia Tour of West Indies 2003
📍 Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, 1–5 May 2003
🏆 Australia won by 9 wickets | Toss: West Indies
🧢 Test debuts: Omari Banks, Tino Best

This Test marked another emphatic win for Australia as:

Steve Waugh – 115 (30th Test hundred, equalling Clive Lloyd’s record with his 36th Test win as captain)

Ramnaresh Sarwan and Shivnarine Chanderpaul fought hard but couldn’t stop the collapse.

Australia enforced the follow-on and Stuart MacGill (5/75, 9 in the match) spun his side to victory.

⭐ Final twist: Jermaine Lawson claimed a sensational hat-trick in Australia’s tiny run chase, becoming the first West Indian to take a Test hat-trick on home soil.

Australia sealed the series 3–0 with one Test to play and returned to the top of the ICC Test Championship table.

India fought back brilliantly to defeat the mighty Australia by 8 runs in the 4th ODI of the 2007 series, keeping the contest alive. After a flying start by Matthew Hayden (92 off 92), the Aussies looked on course for another win — but RP Singh, Murali Kartik, and Zaheer Khan had other plans.

Australia stunned India with a dominant 217-run victory in the 1st Test at Bangalore during the famous 2004 Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Making his Test debut, Michael Clarke announced himself on the biggest stage with a magnificent 151, becoming only the 17th Australian to score a century on Test debut. Adam Gilchrist then unleashed a breathtaking hundred, while Glenn McGrath and Michael Kasprowicz exploited reverse swing brilliantly to put India under relentless pressure.

Despite Harbhajan Singh's five wickets in the first innings and six more in the second, Australia piled up enough runs to set India a daunting target of 457. Irfan Pathan fought bravely with his maiden Test fifty, but Australia completed a memorable 217-run victory to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
