This was Ponting’s best chance to register a test win in India as an Australian Test Captain but he couldn’t. He never won a test in India as a captain. All 40 wickets in Mumbai, 2004 👇🏼 20 wickets fell on the third and final day after 18 had already tumbled on Day 2 - a Test match that turned into absolute chaos at the Wankhede Stadium.

In 1971, at The Oval, Indian cricket found its voice overseas. Trailing after the first innings, a spell of spin turned the match. A calm chase sealed India’s first-ever Test series win in England. This was not just a victory. It was the beginning of belief. BCCI #IndianCricket #GreatestComebacks

India pass first real test with ease In the first real test for both sides, India won comfortably, bowling out the West Indies for 173 and, inspired by Sachin Tendulkar, chasing it inside 40 overs. Both innings followed a similar pattern: two early wickets, a brief recovery, then the captain falling in the deep around the early nineties. Tendulkar scored 70 off 91 balls to earn his second straight match award before being run out in a mix-up with Kambli, who then guided the chase to the finish. #OnThisDay in 1996.

Happy Birthday Tim May His highest Test score and best bowling performance came in the same match. After claiming 5 for 9 against the West Indies a day before his birthday, he followed it up with a valiant 42 not out, narrowly missing the chance to become a national hero in his first Test appearance in four years. He forged a formidable bowling partnership with Shane Warne between 1993 and 1995, a period that marked a remarkable resurgence in his career, highlighted by the memorable Adelaide Test. Featuring together in 17 Test matches, the duo proved devastatingly effective, claiming ten or more wickets in an innings on eight occasions.

#WATCH | England defeated India by 5 wickets in the 1st Test in Leeds, taking a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Team India Head Coach Gautam Gambhir said, "Catches are dropped even by the best fielders of the world. Nobody drops catches deliberately. But yes, from the batting point of view, it is disappointing...when we had the opportunity, had we scored around 600 in the first inning, we would have been in a situation where we could have dominated, but again, these things happen. Hopefully, we can learn in the second Test match but what was good that on all 4-5 days, we had opportunities from where we could have dominated this Test match,"

Do You Know…. Sachin Tendulkar spent more time as the youngest player in his team than anyone else in Test history. The first Test in which Tendulkar was not India’s youngest came at Motera in 1996, when VVS Laxman debuted at 21 while Tendulkar was 23. His final Test as India’s youngest was at Hamilton in 1999, aged 25. Between 1989 and 1999, he played 48 Tests as India’s youngest, scoring 3,423 runs at an outstanding average of 53.48 - one of the top 10 averages ever by a team’s youngest player. Remarkably, Tendulkar also featured in 40 Tests as the youngest player on both sides, underlining just how early and how long, he carried that prodigy tag.
