India returned from the dead in the final encounter and grabbed an implausible victory to script history in 2002. Ganguly, who was all tensed in the Lord’s balcony could not stop his jubilation as soon as the winning runs were hit and waived his jersey from the balcony. It is also remembered as one of the memorable moments in the history of Indian cricket.

Ganguly has represented India in 311 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and 113 Tests, in which he smashed 11,363 and 7,212 runs respectively. He also led the Indian team to the finals of the 2003 World Cup but lost the battle to Australia.
