Man this entire series had so much happening in it. Bhajji's place in the team. Dada's captaincy. Constant sledging by Australians. Dravid and Laxman's health. I can't even explain the sheer brilliance of this series. It's like a movie, only it's not fiction.
Don't forget Australia had won like 15 before the series
And that crazy crowd - nothing short of a movie!
This series has so many memories that bollywood can make movie on this series... Winning from follow on.. Laxman dravid batting.. Bajji and sachin bowling... I can't believe Raju was still playing in 2001...
Not to forget Aussies crying about umpire Bansal.
Not to forget Aussies playing so well and Hayden's 200 and Gilchrist and Waugh's 100's
After 1983 , this 2001 is that next milestone in our transformation as a Elite cricket team.
i still remember the day 4. its morning 9:30 AM, me and my brother were watching the game and we requested mom not to switch off the TV until a wicket falls. My mom thought India is on the verge of collapse and said ohk i will switch off the TV if the 5th wicket falls.
Dravid and lakshman batted the whole day 😂😂and the TV is on till 5 PM. had one of the good childhood day.
Oh wow nice lol
Nice story
Now how old are you

I think it's a general thing jappened in so many homes
18 years gone by and still no team went on to win after following on!
This test match undoubtedly changed Indian cricket forever👍☺️
RIP Shane Warne.
But the innings by Laxman was the best I've ever seen against him. On a spinning pitch, his footwork was unreal. Laxman averaged 45 in test cricket, but at playing 5/6 he averaged 50. That was more representative of the man's talent
After this match Australia is dead scared to give follow on to any team😁
Srilanka defeated india after following on
@@humanitylover2156 No. Only 3 times a team won the test match after being forced the following on. England was the victorious on previous both occasion & India was 3rd team to do so. The interesting thing is that the mighty Australian were on losing side in all 3 occasions.

VVS Laxman was Played like a Lion, Simply great, unaffected by what is happening around...... That's why he will be amongst the all time greatest batsman ever.....And not forget to mention Rahul Dravid and Harbhahan Singh, also great contribution.... 🙏👌
Crowd was awsome.
I can not believe just for test cricket they came
Nowadays people are crazy for t-20s only. Nowadays You can never see such crowd in test matches.
Even those people used to watch the match whole day and never felt bored.
@@reinhardvanastrea4235 you are right. Cricket are not that real cricket anymore😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
It's just like a business nowadays.
Alot has changed between then n now...world wasn't so fast n rushed then. There were no phones n ppl loved to enjoy themselves with friends rather than rushing through everything n just doing stuff cuz of social media pressure. No internet, no social media, no sensationalism in media or the public, no pretending n fake lives...ALOT different...if U think even today if ppl were honest about what they wanna do, they'd rather choose relaxing n enjoying a great test match than go for a quick sensational ipl.
Actually problem is with board . They don't schedule Australia and South Africa matches at Eden or wankhede.
i think they came to see that how legends compete with other legends
Lets not forget harbajan singh. Its a general tendency that people will only remember of laxman and dravid if they hear about the 2001 Kolkata test. Harbajan picked 13 wkts in this match. 7 in the first inns,6 in the next
Including a hattrick
I have seen that match at that time I was 4 year old
And also the 3 wickets in the 2 innings by 10dulkr
@@vikrsha see at that time how crowd came to watch test cricket.
Now a days people don't watch test cricket in stadium even Sunday also
Sure. But, it was a typical Indian pitch where spinner was expected to get lots of wickets. But, laxman and dravid's partnership after being followed on is what makes this match special and standout from other matches.
21 years till the date, even now I remember how afraid i was whenever i heard India was Playing against This Ferocious Australian Team. As a late 90's kid this Australian team actually gave me chills. Imagine how damn dominant a team can be, even a random supporter can feel the tremendous aura this Australian Team gave off. Then Came this EPIC test match. I still remember cheering with my father, class 1 kid cheering for Test match who has 0 idea of Follow On. Boy this match, Dravid and Laxman, shining like Damn Sun.
Ik that this Australian team was truly incredible but it wasn't like they dominated India in their previous tour of the country either. India bullied Australia in 97-98 winning the test series with the same scoreline 2-1 but only lost the 3rd test. They won the only test in 96-97 as well. Australia never had a great record in India hence it was known as final frontier for them. Of course this Australian team was almost certainly superior to the 97-98 team but keep in mind that the 97-98 team was also considered the best in the world at the time and had at that point already won everywhere in the world except India
I was in class 1 same year, but my first memory of cricket was 2003 WC final. I just heard 2001 test win in the news, but I couldn't recall any memory of watching it.
@@siddarthbalakrishnan9657But unfortunately they finally conquered the final frontier in 2004.
New Era of Dada's captaincy and also Team India truely begins from this series.
The most Dramatic story cricket has ever witnessed till date and the hero was VVS LAXMAN !!!.
Also bhajji
Also dravid
Kolkata and gaba test Australia will never forget
Bhajji did great
Dravid did great
SRT as usual had role of God
But real hero Is Very Very Special Laxman
@@honeysingh-jd8mpok kid 😂😂 ,u kids have been watching IPL and T20 these days just got to witness a good test match and decided it's best ,no it's not
Just key players were missing from India ,and today's Australia team is nowhere close to that Australia of the time u are watching the highlights, Australia was coming to India after winning consecutive 15 test matches and also won the first test match in Mumbai by winning the toss and choosing to bowl in a subcontinent ,that shows how confident Aussie Contingent that was and wrapping up the test in 3 days
On the other hand India have just come out of the match fixing saga , Azharuddin banned ,Sachin left captaincy,and Ganguly becoming the new captain,also his captaincy was on the swords in this test series and after the first test ,Late Bishan Singh Bedi declared Indian Cricket as dead , so this test match and also the series win gave a new lease of life to Indian Cricket
Rahul Dravid - bats for more than a day, has massive cramps, got an IV drip last evening, takes the gloves to keep when the keeper got injured. Legend is an understatement.
you forgot to add, had a running fever.
only one word for dravid!!! truly The wall

Bro.. Even Laxman had severe back issues.. Both dravid and Laxman were not 100 % fit before the test.. That's what makes this partnership of theirs so spl..
and gets backs in form under shadow of Laxman :)
47:53 Freeze the video right there. Even after staying on the crease for a 376 run long partnership does everything required for the team and asked by his captain. The player with the greatest commitment to the game.
@47:53 mere Bhai, @47:52 is Mongia not looking up at the sky.
@@binni0z thnx. Updated
True legend DRAVID
@@binni0z mere bhai wo rahul dravid ki baat kar raha hai ...
Vo Mongia he bhai. Laxman nahi.
Wtf, I am old now. I remember watching this game live, holy shit it's already 18 years now. We were so happy when this happened. Always loved and still loving Indian cricket ( from Nepal)
Tendulkar’s bowling spell turned the match in India’s favour. Wickets of Hayden and Gilchrist were the key.
It was laxman dravids partnership that was the key game changer
Write such a comment that even after 5 years people need to come and say: "Chu**ya hai kya".
Happiness is when you see direct link to the greatest innings of all time in the greatest test match of all time. Privileged to see LAXMAN'S IMMORTAL 281!!!
"Very Very Special" for a reason..!
Although Rahul Dravid is my fav batsman of all time but Laxman makes batting look easy! No matter how fast the bowl is, its like hes batting in slowmo! And both are incredible human beings - absolute gentlemen!
When once set, laxman made batting looked easy and as you said in slow motion... he was maestro.... but inconsistent throught...
Happiness is, when u see Sachin bowling and gets wickets. His excitement makes u feel ur really missing a great Cricketer.
Let's not forget captain Ganguly picking crucial wickets at very crucial times too. But definitely Sachin was someone who could turn like Warne & deceive like Kumble.
@@anirbanseal5704 he gave warne his own medicine in this match
This is one of the greatest test matches of all time! So good to relive the memories. I followed this in NZ with an Indian workmate, we could not believe what was happening. Legends of cricket going hammer and tongs, and a massive crowd at Eden Gardens. Thanks for the excellent video.
Those were the nostalgic days that cannot be forgotten. I saw this match live. VVS Laxman played his best throughout the test match. His 281 against Australia saved India from drowning.
This match will always be in my memory. VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid played their dream innings, and India winning the test match after a follow-on was miraculous.
For laxman..it is his dream innings... But for dravid its his usual innings among other many innings.. the match plyed in india and in indian condition...but Dravid become mightier than others when he proved himself when in2003 ..he scored 272&72* at australia and beat austrlian soil.. what a player!!!!
I m here after today s pink ball test ...It feels like I missed the most beautiful moment in test Crick ....N the then crowd omg...
The classic batsmen, the four legendary classic batsmen who carried the billion emotions into the cricket fields 😍😍😍
Would watch this 55 minute video a hundred times and still would never get over it! Brilliant game by India!
One of the greatest ever matches India's been part of.
I saw this match at the stadium . What a match it was.
You are sooo lucky sir 👍👍👍👍
U r lucky.......sir what was your age at that yrr
You are lucky
I was there too
U r ❤️ Lucky man . .bro.. from Darbhanga Bihar India
I was there at Eden Gardens on day 4 and Living Legends VVS and Dravid stood tall against the mighty Aussies.
What a match!!! Winning after a follow on!!! Great fightback from 2 legendary cricketers, Great captaincy by Dada n commentary from Tony is 🔥🔥🔥
LAXMAN HEROICS
Dravid support
Ganguly Captaincy(scores 48 and supported Laxman before dravid)
Harbhajan wonderful bowling
Sachin support in bowling

Those were days....
Those spectators who bought tickets to this match, you all will be envied for the rest of everybody else's life!
I still remember watching this match with my father, brother and mother at home on a small TV. We all had tears when India won the match. ❤
One of the best test matches ever! - this was the turning point of Indian cricket that propelled them from the shadows of match fixing era to the modern winning era....after this test India had the new belief that they can win any day and anywhere.
that team , that eden gardens crowd, that script - even God can never write it again 💟💟
My all time favourite Test Match. Nobody is supposed to win after following on.

Greatest Test Match for me Ever in my school days wow those were the days when cricket was life...I still remember the match ❤❤❤❤❤
The perfect example of brilliant captaincy by Ganguly.. Putting Laxman at no. 3 in 2nd innings, these days most of the captains can't even think of taking this risk.
सबसे यादगार टेस्ट मैच...इसके जैसा मैच दोबारा हुआ ही नहीं..ये भारतीयों की ताकत है.. हारी बाज़ी को जीतना हमे आता है..
Watching this greatest test match of all time on 15 th March 2019 exactly 18 years after this historic win at Eden Gardens.
lol I like how McGrath was reacting as if he was the one who was gonna win the match for Australia single handedly
Yup.. lol expression.
Actually.. Only 1 or 2 overs left in a day.. That's y he's hopeful that he can save a match
He always used to react that,shaking his head every time gets out.
he has always been an arrogant prick
Was that out? It seemed plumb as he didn't offer s shot.
VVS and The Legendary Wall's heroics just showed the true class of Indian Cricket, also let's appreciate the bowling department, It's funny even when The GOAT doesn't score with bat he contributed with his crucial breakthrough.
38:12
Pure magic. I wonder if someone else could play this with this much ease. VERY VERY SPECIAL for a reason.
I see the highlight of this match whenever I need to remind myself it's not over till I say it's over. It's not just a match, it's a life lesson.
Yeh .
100 persent correct.
It's 1am 2022..alone after returning from office ... having dinner and relieving our childhood memories.. goosebumps ..the game that changed Indian cricket
One of the most iconic tests from my childhood days. What a series and what outstanding cricket. I still remember we were listening to the commentary on the radio in school during a lecture while hiding from our class teacher.
Very very special Laxman .. my favorite batsmen .. they dnt make this kind these days .. pure stroke maker
The most remberest match for indian cricket history.
All these my fav. R. Dravid. Vvs. Laxam. S. Ganguly.
These days will never came in future for india.
Now and in the future india. Does not have that talent. That vvs laxam and rahul dravid and saurav ganguly has.
Love them.
vvs laxman played best inning in test history pressure time
In this era the Aussies were so strong that they could challenge India on our own soil. And McGrath such a great bowler even on dusty Indian wickets
Dont forget harbajan he claimed 32 wickets in 3 tests.mathew hayden made 650 runs in 3 tests including 1 double hundred still in losing side.
I will remember this test match till my last breath. I was the witness form the stadium, very very long ago, a nostalgia of my boyhood!
बहुत ही अदभुद टेस्ट सीरीज👍👍जय हिंद🇮🇳
Here's wishing one of #TeamIndia's most stylish batsmen, VVSLaxman281 a very happy birthday 🎂🍰
On his special day, relive his 'very very special' knock of 281 against Australia #HappyBirthdayVVSLaxman
My good old days..my school days...
Came here only to watch laxman 281 but saw many more.... Harbhajan hatric, a hit wicket, bowling of pointing and heyden, follow on match win, afterall so many crowd in a test match.
im from karachi n this test match is in my life time memories we have no channel on tv to watch this test match live so ive bought news paper early morning to read score card or per day situation of the match ۔۔its really a defining moment in indian test history really amazing
As a pakistani! I have to say 'Indian cricket will power and strenght was showcased perfectly" 🎯💪
We r ❤️ love Also 💞 pakistan Tem Love waqar,Imran , Abdul Qadeer, Don't forget Waseem & New Amer,Asif.. from Darbhanga Bihar India
50:16 Manjrekar has always been a bollocks commentator! Assumes that Sachin will be given only one over to bowl, but the Master goes on to pick up 3 wickets 👏👏👏
Absolutely well said. 100000% bollocks commentator and person too.
Very true... Can't agree more!
Manjrekar has so much grudge against SRT, because he lost his place in the team due to SRT
There were multiple heroes in this test match..it will be an understatement and deceiving to say it was because of Laxman or Dravid or Harbhajan. The fact is all 11 members of this great team out performed the greatest test team of that era convincingly after having their walls against the back. The catches, the bowling, the batting, the keeping, the team spirit was so great to watch!!
I watched this highlights three time so for whenever I start this video for some time I can't leave this video watching full time।
Everything said and done.... But the only person you can't keep away from the game is ... Ravi Shashtri... part of the 1983 world cup winning team , post match presentations , commentator during both the iconic world cup winning moments 2007 and 2011 and now as the head coach ...decades has gone but he hasn't ! 😂😂😂😂
Yess😂😂. He continues to be until india stop plays cricket
No flaws in technique, no particular weakness , can play anywhere ,patience and master class: Dravid and Laxman
T20 ruined cricket. Look at the crowd gathered there. Missing those days 😞😞
Yeah, shorter grounds, shorter boundries, flat pitches...ruined cricket..t20 and ipl giving end to actual cricket. Now cricket is just business
At that time cricket was game and emotions now days it's just a business
seriously!!!!
True... we used to listen entire test match on radio bcz back then test matches was not telecasted on DD... and we had only DD...
Back then cricket was in blood, now it doesn’t matter who win/loose
and the matches on DD National
Historic match ever played on Indian Soil. Remarkable innings both by Sir Dravid and Sir Laxman. Tremendous Batting Powerplay. Hats off to Bhajji and Sir Tendulkar too to pick up crucial wickets. All memorable moments that will be cherished. Great Work. Team India 🇮🇳 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳. Jai Hind!!!!
The way Laxman playing Warne, coming down the pitch is truly amazing skill. I think he never or very less used to sweep. Amazing player!! Kudos to Dravid as well. I remember Aussies using all type of techniques to get under the skin of these 2 players, but both Laxman and Dravid were mentally tough and it showed in the final result. Also many thanks for uploading the entire test match highlights. Thanks sir.
47.53 Rahul Dravid is such a wonderful player with such positive attitude ...ready to take any challenge for the sake of his captain and his team...one only admire & respect this Gentleman's way of playing cricket.
Thatswhy he is vvs...great innings by laxman and jem(dravid)
Watched several times..
Also watched it live.. Amazing
Fitting reply to slater fight with dravid in first test

22 years on, and still this remains the best match and series of all times!.
Very Very Special Laxman has played a jeasus inning. Whenever this earth and cricket this inning will always VVS inning. Thanks Dada to send VVS on no 2 position.
hats off suhas for this splendid upload brings many nostalgic memories of my childhood awesome game awesome upload thanks alot suhas........
The turbunator Bhajji....13 wickets out of 20 in two innings.. Real Goat...❤
Dada's captaincy brain and best trick to give Sachin one over and with the ball he took 3 imp wickets like haiden, guilcrist and warne in one over changed the game to indias favour because there was very short time on 5th day to get the last 10 wickets to win this match to make History after defeating such a team which was unbeaten for consecutive 17 tests all around the world and different types of pitches. ..and chennai's nail biting test there was a sachin's magic and total team game performance to win by 2 wickets and to win a historic test series by 2-1, it was beyong our dream because on those times aussies were on their Supreme power.. Full strength.. And Ganguly got a talented young indian side and his captaincy mind game ❤🎉 Those golden memories.❤🎉🌷...and now todays bothering 20-20 era..just disgusting... Its not cricket, its a entertainment packed money making business,, now a days😢
What a crowd... I never seen this type of support in test cricker.... This never before ever after
all time favorite and great test match नयी शताब्दी के शुरुआत में ही ये महान टेस्ट मैच खेला गया जब तक क्रिकेट खेला जाता रहेगा तब तक ये मैच याद आएगा लक्षमण द्रविड़ और हरभजन सिंह ने ये टेस्ट मैच अमर बना दिया
vvs laxman played best innings ....& proud to be a hydrabadi player
Laxman is the best fourth innings batsman of all time
This is the Match to be remembered for CENTURIES.
JAI HIND
Most touchable incident was that, so many police was jumping with joy.. that's the emotions
This test match has defined the future of INDIAN cricket, I watched ball by ball all five days and I cried most of the game as India is going to lose. I had no hopes on the game and Day 4 turned everything.... VVS lakshman.... and Rahul dravid played innings of their lifes... and Harbhajan with ball is magic... sachin got critical wickets with balll too.. in all in alll.. Its INDIA who has stopped mighty Australian victory streak... it was tears in my eyes... and no social media... i didnt get sleep that night.... waiting for news papers to publish this and waited till 5 AM and read all of them and slept peacefully
see da level of cricket' commentary n crowd
That was special. Perhaps the greatest test match of 21st century against perhaps the greatest test team in history of test cricket ❤️
i was 10 years old in Kolkata, this was the first live game I ever saw tho I only went to Day 1. Seeing that hattrick live was incredible!!!
so many people for a test match. Very nice to see❤️❤️❤️❤️
Greatest test match of all time! My favorite test match! Coming from a Pakistan supporter.
It made me teary eye..when vvs was out and the applause...it will be most remembered memories in my lyf...
This match will be remembered by me because of the 3 main reasons.
1. H. Singh's first ever Hat -Trick in Test match Cricket.
2. VVS & Rahul's unbelievable innings
3. Tony Grage's Fantastic Commentary
This is the kind of legendary match that everyone will remember where they are at the moment. I was traveling in bus in Karnataka with good old radio commentary on and whole bus erupted in cheers when India won 😊 can’t believe it is more than two decade passed now.
Only 5.5lakh views.... I can't digest.... Millions of views in IPL matches & look at here, this is an epic battle where India dominated after 0-1 in series & follow on.... They beat the mighty Australians after a 16-0 winning streak.... Immortal match
Saw it live and ind vs pak chennai test 1999 what a crowd itna emotion ab t20 wc final mae bhe nhi aayaga 50 over ka ta bhool he jaaye kya majha tha matches dekhne ka us time😢❤😅
How the time flies, It seems like yesterday, great memories of childhood
Remembering shane warne and this test match . Grateful to have witnessed him & this iconic match live at Eden gardens. Will cherish the experience forever. Long live test cricket
In those days , Australia was cruising with 16 test wins at a stretch , even getting a draw against them was like a win . India pulled a victory out of nowhere. Even the highlights looks so surreal
2:28 That Indian squad with ages alongside. Sachin, Ganguly, Laxman, Dravid, Zaheer in their 20s and at the peak of their powers. God, can't we simply freeze this forever?
38:35 When I hit a century...I did that....love u dravid the legend
Look at the atmosphere! we need this in nowadays test matches. Test cricket is the highest standard of the game. #LongLiveTestCricket
still gives me goose bumps and tears of joy thank you Inida
Even after 21 years, this is an unforgettable memory of the best Indian team line up period!
there ws one name and it ll remain in evryones heart till the existance of cricket ..and its the wall rahul dravid
i still remmember this day...its totally unforgettable
यह भारतीय क्रिकेट इतिहास का सबसे यादगार टेस्ट मैच है इस मैच ने भारतीय टीम कि दशा एवं दिशा दोनों ही बदल दी थी 🙏
I always feel that SS Das was wrongly dropped when he was dropped. He was quite a good opener - could be solid in defence, aggressive when required and was an excellent close-in fielder to boot.
I agree
same happened with Akash chopra
Replacement was better Virender Sehwag
Yeah . Good opening batsmen but had bad luck.In 2002 tour of new Zealand he played really well scored 200 in practice game and top scored on a green pitch but was dropped next game.If he was playing all the matches in that tour he would have been a great batsmen.
@@Gauravkoolwal wo bolne me sirf achha hain
You need to be a lionheart to watch the first half being an Indian. Even today watching the highlights you feel the nerves. Emagine the mental condition of vvs and wall. Hatsoff....
