From this series Indian cricket got a new captain hero and that is Dada the legend Sourav Ganguly. Dada fought with Australia inside the ground and even giving necessary response to all statements given by Australia. In this series a new spinning hero discovered and he is Harbhajan Singh and what a great thing wrote in his destiny he is hero with ball but series winning runs are scored by him and without Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman 300 runs stand this series is incomplete. I am sure strong Australian side will never forget this series. Thanks to Dada and team for giving experience of this moment.
Ganguly form wasn't great but he was played a crucial role in the 2nd test 2nd innings which laid the platform for the dravid and laxman partnership. He was willing to be aggressive and play fire with fire including annoying Steve waugh by apparently deliberately being late for the toss.
What a team Australia was , no doubt the greatest team ever! The way we fought back and won the series against them was one of the greatest achievements ever in cricketing history.
Sameer Dighe won the game for India.... I'm July 2001 born & this game happened in March 2001. I was not even born when this game happened. But I have watched lots of old matches and I love cricket played between 1965-2005. This guy Sameer Dighe showed excellent temperament under pressure and stayed in the middle till the end to finish off the match. His innings was so crucial, because India won the Test series...!!! Rahul Dravid and VVS Lakshman played, built the greatest ever partnership in Test Cricket History at Eden Garden (Kolkata) & saved the game & kept the series alive. Indians were followed on and lost 4 wickets in the 2nd innings too...!! Australian team were already gearing up to celebrate the Series victory in India & create a History as it was considered as the Final Frontier for the unstoppable Australian team who couldn't win Test Series in India. But Rahul Dravid & VVS Lakshman didn't give their wickets and batted whole day in the hot summer sun of Kolkata with 1,05,000 people cheering for the nation, both of them batted for One & half days against the strong bowling lineup tackling Glen McGrath, Jason Gillespie, Damien Fleming, Shane Warne, Collin Miller.....!! Rahul Dravid finally was Runout for 180 & VVS got out for 281 and Indians were leading by more than 250 runs....!! Chasing the target, Australian team started their innings at 10.30 AM & collapsed against the spin attack of Harbhajan Singh and Sachin Tendulkar & Australian team were all-out at 4.55 PM with 5 mins of game still left. India not just won the game, but they saved the Series defeat & leveled the series 1-1. In Final Test at Chennai (this video), India won by 2 wickets...... Sameer Dighe & VVS were the heroes. India won the series 2-1. In Kolkata, when India won the match, hundreds of Policemen forgot their duty and were jumping along with Crowd in joy...!!! That was Test Cricket, cricket was not just a game, but it was a Religion that used to bind up the entire nation as one religion....!!
Perfect analysis of the series. Even you were not born at the time of this series but while reading your comment I re-live those days. Once again thanks for remembering me Dada's era through your comments.
I still remember Mark waugh's 2 catches.. vvs & khans, I saw this live in MAC 😊 stadium.... Australian supporters totally down when they return home. It was harbajan 🎉 made it
Because of Racism new Australia build. The native People of the Country were drew out to Forests. Wherever and Whenever discrimination found, the one and only country which can araise against it is India. Not only Indians but Indian Cricketers also known how to deal with the racist People and Control them. Well done India
What amazes me is with only 154 runs to defend, the Aussies still managed to pick up 8 wickets, if they had managed to add another 20 runs on the board, Aussies would have surely won the match and the series. If it was any other team defending 154, they would have given up easily once the opposition reaches 130+.
Those days our tailend batting was pathetic. See how Zaheer , Bahutule were struggling here to even play a proper shot. But now our tail enders are way better with bat amd winning us matches too. Nevertheless this series win changed Indian cricket forever. A new agressive captain emerged as Dada who himself was a great batsman. The legendary knock of VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid that turned the match upside down in our favour in the previous match at Eden Gardens, Kolkata was something to be told to generations to come. Harbhajan winning us that match with his magical bowling.Legends. ❤
@@sanjibmallick3014 No it has changed a lot. I have been watching cricket from early 90s. There has been another big shift in Indian cricket in last 6-7 years. In many test matches our tailenders have shown will power and skills to bat out for long hours to save or win us a match Ravichandran Ashwin, Md Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhubaneswar Kumar, Washington Sundar can all bat and score 20-30 runs which are very valuable towards the end.
@@ayasswain Earlier tailenders was much better than today’s Kumble, Srinath, Harbhajan, Zaheer, Joshi all can play a bit and they win some matches for India with the bat. While today’s tailender like bumrah, Chahal, Siraj Kuldeep Yadav can’t play in pressure situation. Ashwin sundar are all rounders..
You are wrong . Earlier tailender were way much better then today's. Nowadays tailenders struggle much than these. Harbhajan , kumble, zaheer used to bat well
@@ayasswain Harbhajan won us many matches playing as a tailender. Agarkar became a recognized batsman, Kumble has a century in the Oval. Yeh bakwas maat kar ! U say nothing, just some shorts on Insta 😂
there was an ODI against West Indies where he scored 96 not out I think but could not win as the balls ran out, sometime in 2000-2001, he played till the end
2007 se phle India ne kitane hi final khele Hoge ganguly ki captaincy me uska koi hisab nahi. Ganguly ki Team final me jakar har jati thi. Ab to ipl ka jamana h . Ab koi triangular series na hi hoti or na koi Sahar cup jaisa koi tournament. Ab to open me sattebaji. Small boundaries, fielding restrictions, two new ball . Ghatia cricket hoti h ab .
even though sameer dighe won the match for india, we can see the struggle of his timing and technique of his batting, that was the difference made by dhoni as a wicket keeper batsman for india in later 2ks
That time only Aussies are real threat for all teams & after etc 2021 beat India so big margin & wc final showdown then looking again most dangerous team
The first match was whitewash. India had no answers. Australia became overconfident. Then everything became history. Laxman, Dravid,Harbhajan, Sachin changed the series. Laxman was awesome
Damn... This match happened 23 years ago and I remember watching it live on TV. I am old! Had forgotten about Samir Dighe! Short career for the poor guy especially since Dravid ended up with the gloves for a while and then Dhoni came along - but I can imagine how happy he must be in this moment - to have won a match (and series) for India.
Sai Raj bahutale career ending test series with the arrival of harbhajan singh before the test series the hype is on bahutale not on harbhajan because bahutale was the kumbles replacement for the test series when kumble recovered he is no where near to play international cricket.. thanks to my fav dada for encouraging harbhajan
Tony Greig commentary means all is lucky for opposition of aussies, in the air is always catchable to australia. Bias man. Only Indians have uprooted aussies several times, & now in this era aussies r always under pressure not Induans

Winning a series against the Best Australian side of All times is an extraordinary achievement 👏
That kind of fight back spirit against the best team in the history of Cricket is just an epic.

What a team Australia great in 90s
When i was in 10th std i hear commentary in radio nice experience. That DD National telecast only one hr of the match morning and evening 🎉🎉❤❤❤
2024 में देख रहा हूं 💞💞✍️✍️✍️💞💞
Sameer Dighe was a very good wicket keeper as well as batsman but couldn't not get much chances to play.
Only Bharatiya team challenge Australia in every match in whole world in that time too
Watched it live at the MAC stadium... Unforgettable match and series...
Dada ❤❤ ka wada majboot irada 👍👍👍
Pure example of test cricket in 90s ❤
Value of wining a single match at that time more than todays winning of world cup.
One of the best test series
World no1 captain steve waugh
The first match was whitewash. India had no answers. Australia became overconfident. Then everything became history. Laxman, Dravid,Harbhajan, Sachin changed the series. Laxman was awesome
Dighe good baating

Commenteter name??
Pehle fan real hote they aaj ki trah troll nhi krte h
Ye bhi ek daur tha..
Tony Grieg what voice we missed it.
Nobody misses the racist 😅
Racists tried everything in commentary to win the match for Australia
No body can change fate
There is no doubt in racist commentary
How can commentators influence a match.
@psankadell they can't win matches everybody knows it, but his approach was biased.
I don't hear anything racist in anything that was said. I guess it's in your mind. There are people who will see racism everywhere.
Dighe was superb
Excellent catch
The greatest test series ever
Could gave become another Chennai 1999..but fir bhaji and Zaheer and ofcourse Dighe
Love you singh
