Lovely Buddy..💗

This wasn't just another Test Match. It was an emotion of a billion people. It brought out the raw nerves and feelings of players and fans alike. As a young college student I used to have a pager those days just for the heck of it. Checking the scores after every over was giving me palpitations. This match was the birth of real Indian crickets domination in the years to follow. Your explanation is absolutely mesmerizing. Today team India has beaten the foul mouthed Aussies in their own background in back to back Test Series!

I have similar feeling when I realized 20 years have gone by since that game.

Whenever India was down and out Rahul Dravid just got up and played and played for his country... ❤

To this day, I consider myself fortunate to have watched every single ball of this test match. There was something about the way Laxman and Dravid started batting and my superstition of course did not let me budge. Each run, each defensive shot was worth its weight in gold.

brother thats why i think dravid is the 'Wall' no matter what condition he stands and laxman 'The invinsible', they never talked about their efforts and that why they are respected so much in cricket community....they are really grt....👍

8:30 This shows what cricket matters to this country. Even the man on duty was celebrating it. I suggest you to do a story on Down under 2021.

Excellent words

I feel compelled to comment! Being somebody who wasn't even born when this match happened, I've just read a couple articles about it, and instantly felt immense respect for them, even though I've never watched them play. And then I see this video on KZread! It's brilliant. I had goosebumps while hearing your narration of the heroics of these two legends. It's unbelievable how they sailed through and defeated the Aussies, the mighty, mighty Aussies while being in a condition like that. I must say, the portion where you spoke about the pretense, about how "They pretended that..." and so on, I just could not hide a smile. I couldn't. This is just fantastic! You've done a splendid job on other videos that I've watched as well! I wish you all the best, for you're certainly doing this amazing job here! Hope to see more such videos from you (one about the Australia triumph in 2020-21 would be GREAT, which I did see that you said you're working on. Will be waiting for it. And of course will be waiting for more about old matches that happened long before I knew what cricket was XD)

I couldn't stop smiling when you started saying -" They just pretended that...". The narration is so lively it brought tears in my eyes. Man what stubborn players they were, who refused to give up, who choosed fighting for their country despite of being in pain. What a comeback it was.

Thank you for making this video man. I was only one at the time when this test match happened so I couldn't experienced it live but I have seen highlights of this match and even watching the highlights gave me goosebumps, I experienced the same goosebumps when India beat Australia in Australia and England in England. Matches like these solidifies the statement that Cricket is not a sport in India, it's a religion and an emotion.

VVS And Dravid Indian Cricket's unsung heroes ... 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

This and gabba test proves that players play selfless game even when we are at our very low, when players play for the team, play for nation instead of his own self, we perform extraordinary.

Complete Goosebumps!!! What a narration, just relived those moments.

I was 10 yrs old when I watched this live on TV, there was no internet so no would know these back stories then but after this victory Laxman, Dravid, Bhajji became household names. I remember all my friends, myself included would imitate Bhajji's run up. Once in a lifetime match❤️

20 years ago and it still feels like happened yesterday

I’ve been new to your videos and the way you explain every nuance of the whole situation that happened at that memorable moment is something extraordinary.. your choice of words n your delivery makes it even more special. 😊😊😊 thank you for making such memories even more special!! 😘😘 Keep up the good work buddy 😎😎🤩🤩

Those words mean a lot Man. For the longest time my videos were just sitting in a corner of the net. Felt as if I was screaming into a void. So hearing such words.. Truly means a lot.

Cricket was beautiful back then. For me. I wish I knew all this at that time. I wish I didn't lose the connection I had with cricket. The stories you're telling are something I always knew I wanted to hear, but couldn't find anywhere. Thanks for doing this.

Man!!! You are THE storyteller..With your voice and the visuals you select, every moment comes to life..You are creating larger-than-life (in a very good way) moments that will allow every child to dream and believe in achieving greatness..cheers to you man :)

Nicely presented. That moment is etched in Indian cricket history as epochal. Nothing can match what these two achieved in trying circumstances against rampaging aussies

OMG thats how real captain is the true definition of captain dhoni ponting came in another line but dada is God of all captain 🙏🙏

You couldn't have explained it better ..... Watched it live on tv...watta match 20 years memories juz flashing right in front of my eyes.... Thank You !!!

One of the best games ever. As an England cricket fan, 2005 will always be the best series for me, but this comes a close 2nd. India found strength in adversity. Sometimes being down can make you play better. It’s like you have nothing to lose.

They showed great determination and patriotism.. They are true players.. I think it's late... But congratulations Rahul Dravid and VVS Lakshman

Express my gratitude for making this video. It was felt at soul level, eyes were filled with tears. These two legends, with rest of the team were incredible.

What a beautiful voice modulation and commentary!! I remember watching the entire 4th and 5th skipping my tution, practice session and I am blessing to have watched it on live television

*THIS IS ENOUGH TO MAKE A GROWN MAN CRY. and THAT'S OKAY!!*

All I can remember from Laxman's bat was beautiful precision all along the ground 34 boundaries beautiful tick sound of the bat. This the first time I heard the behind the story.

you just hear that crack on wood....on each shot... And knowing how much he must have been suffering at the time. It makes it all the more Beautifull.

This... does put some tears in my eyes. I was 6 years old then, still have some vivid memory of how my whole family was celebrating.

It's difficult to explain why this video moved me so much, but I'll try. In 2001, I was living in Australia as a recently migrated 13 year old - immersed in this anglosphere, a brown boy in a sea of white, forever drowning, pulled down by the colonial shackles of the inferiority complex that affects much of our diaspora. Every time the Indian Cricket Team played against Australia, it felt like a pull upwards, in the opposite direction. Now that I'm older I often trivialise sport and diminish it's relevance. But this tribute video made me realise the undeniable impact India's win in Kolkata had on me at that pivotal age. Reading the headlines in Australia about India's gallant stand - I held my head higher that day. Thanks for reviving a beautiful memory.

No one can forget these guys Eden was made heaven on that day

The way you narrate brings events back to life. I remember discussing this match with my friends during lunch...I was completely convinced that we would lose after following on. But the miracle happens...

Your narration, the background music and the partnership between those two heroes made me cry! Fantastic man!

Truly an inspirational knock it was! Thank you for sharing this story..... Please keep sharing many more of these

Greatest moment in Indian sporting history in 21st Century : VVS Laxman 281 in 2001 in Calcutta (first cricketer to breach 250 in 69 years and that too in a follow on innings) and Neeraj Chopra wins Athletic Gold in 2021 in Tokyo Olympics (first in 121 years) 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳👌👌👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

memories of this test is quite vivid in my memory being a kid, Aussies were so desperate for a wicket that they have bowled everybody from ther xi other than gilly & steve. Next day all news papers had the pic of laxman & dravid on first page which was very rare those days.

This was not a match it was a trance…..I so so remember this match….even today when I see this match or it’s story I can’t stop my tears….those were the most challenging days for Indian cricket….thank you for presenting this video…god bless you 🙏

This channel is so bloody underrated. Excellent narration and sure you have done your homework. Keep up the good work

Would this video arouse deep buried emotions in every Indian cricket fan without the brilliant and emphatic narration? No. Love the presentation man! It feels good to dive back into childhood and relive the match once again.

I get emotional every single time I watch it ❤️. It keeps me inspiring and give goosebumps at the end each time I watch it. Thank you explaining it very beautifully ❤️

I was there on the 4th day. I had tickets for 5th day also. Thinking india will loose, gave the 5th day ticket to a cousin. 😭😭😭 So much nostalgia ❤️

Dude, i love cricket and love your channel for bringing these beautiful stories, keep up the good work :)

Best test match I have ever seen .. there were so much special things in this match , Laxman destroying Shane warne and other bowlers and after David did the same , Never seen Laxman playing aggressive cricket except that day , he was so good in the test series that he was immediately selected for 1days after this . Tendulkar failing with bat but chipping in with bowling , and Bhajjis magical bowling . There is so much in this match u can make a single video on everything from this match

I am 38 now, a typical 90s kid. Your channel (and this video in particular) brought tears into my eyes !!

This should be a textbook match for the current Indian team complaining of fatigue after earning crores from IPL and touring the world with their wives and kids. Hats off To VVS and Dravid. This match will and has gone down in history as one of the game-changing matches. Two of the best we jave seen❤️❤️❤️👍👍

Great, I didn't know this, good for you to bring it out, great batsmen, they deserve a salute

Uniqueness of this channel is the way of presentation. Simply Superb! Good Job!

We have the inherent ability to rise up to the occasion and fight like a champion when we are at our worst and there's no hope. There would definitely be memorable Hockey, kabbadi, football games where Indian team might have beaten the odds but for me, i just have few stories which i remember and all of those come from Cricket. 83 WC 2001 Ind Australia test series 2007 t20 WC 2021 India Australia test series Each of the above, paved way to something significant to the game but also something quite positive among Indians. A confidence that we can be best and never back out from a fight. With current situation in India with so many fighting this virus, i think if you make a motivational video linking all this, i guess that would be great. Other memorable mentions 96 India pak WC match 2011 WC 2013 CT 2016 India Bangla T20 WC 2018 nidahas final

Thanks for letting us know all these to ppl like me who just think and talk about 07 and 11 World cups and ipls down unders you just realised me this test this Kolkata test was the foundation for the next generation your speech and narration is no less to an Dravid laxman inings man your the writer professional narater and commentators too have never match your naration watched many videos of yours but this ia above all ❤️

This brought tears and beautiful memories back. Watched it ball after ball with budding hope and slight fear.. as the two men batted and batted and batted humbling the seemingly invincibles.

Laxman & Dravid true gentleman of cricket .. so simple & down to earth .. it is a magical win by 2 greats of Indian cricket ... Bowling of Sachin & Bajji in 4th innings is notable

This was the only Test day i watched every single ball..That day is still so vividly clear..

Wow, what i saw today was magic….. by far the best commentary. Keep hustling mate.

Actually it was Dravid's idea to move laxman at no.3. It was told by himself in the sachin's book launch. Correct it. 4:05

Two matches I can never forget - this one and the Desert Storm match where Sachin overcame Aussies in the middle of a literal desert storm where visibility was close to zero. I think you should do a video on the latter.

You gave me goose bumps and tears at the same time. The best narration ever
