Some may call it a miracle at Eden, while others may say that it ushered in a dawn of a new era in Indian cricket. March 15th, 2001, Eden Gardens, Kolkata, witnessed a day when a determined Indian team marshalled under the astute leadership of Sourav Ganguly defined the adage ‘never give up’. On a sultry Kolkata day, India snatched victory and put an end to Steve Waugh’s winning streak of 16 matches, specially after the mighty Australians seemed destined to take the match at the end of the first innings. In 2001, with the fabled 171-run win in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the Indian team became only the third side in the history of Test cricket to win the match after being forced to follow-on.
To celebrate that epic Indian victory against Australia, Star Sports, India’s leading broadcaster, will dedicate an entire day to the 2001 Kolkata Test airing series of content on May 15th from 11:00 AM onwards that will resonate with every Indian cricket aficionado.
