- The second match of the India-England 2002 Test series was characterized by two significant gambles. After a humiliating defeat at the hands of england and injuries to their experienced spinner Kumble and wicketkeeper Ajay Ratra, India risked another devastating defeat in the upcoming test.
& it was in response to that
That India responded with two gambles
Gambles that would change the course of the match and the shape of Indian cricket.
The Indian team took risks to turn the tide.
The first gamble was made by Captain Ganguly, who convinced Virender Sehwag, a batsman with no prior experience as an opener in tests, to open for India against England at Lord's. With a simple carrot and stick approach. The stick being - the fear of never ever getting a chance to play in the middle order
Because of a lineup boasting of Rahul Dravid, sachin Tendulkar, laxman, while the carrot being the assurance that even if he failed, he wouldn't be dropped and would be given a chance in the middle order.
So Sehwag took the crease with the aim of enjoying himself, resulting in 84 runs in the first innings, while most other players struggled.
So…given the terrible condition of Indian bowling on English pitches
Combined with sehwags opening brilliance
Ganguly decided to hedge all his bets on batting.
& then come the match - Despite losing early wickets of Dravid and jaffar, Sehwag came, & blasted the English bowling apart
Batting as if having nothing to lose
He took the pressure off the other batsmen. With Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, along with Virendra Sehwag, Harbhajan and Agarkar allowed India to post a fighting total.
Ganguly’s gamble seemed to be working.
but then England's batting onslaught destroyed Indian bowling
Vaughan scored 197 in 258 balls. Half century from Butcher, 87 from Stewart, 94 from White, giving a total of 617 runs.
Also managing to take out Jaffar and Sehwag before 4th day end.
once again putting India in a precarious position.
It took Sachin and Dravid's determined partnership on the final day.
The will to bat slowly and gradually - while getting beaten up,
On a completely unpredictable pitch…..all while smiling
That india didn’t simply collapse in front of an unsurmountable total
And then when it looked as if dada was gone settle the match
The Englishmen
In desperation
Doubled the pressure with bouncers with verbal barbs.
Sledging their way into knocking the Indian players out.
Finally being rewarded with dads wicket
This made Andrew Flintoff
Who was in the washroom at the time,
to come out running with drinks and spit abuses at Ganguly.
Claiming that they will now - bury them.
Further the line-up was Ajit Agarkar, Harbhajan Singh, Parthiv Patel and Zaheer Khan. With agarkar and bhajji Getting out back-to-back.
India again being on the verge of a loss
But then came the second gamble in the story.
Which revolved around the selection of Parthiv Patel, a 17-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman.
inspired by Adam Gilchrist's success, The selectors were searching for a wicketkeeper who could bat,
Various wicketkeepers like MSK Prasad, Sameer Dighe, Saba Karim, Vijay Dahiya, Deep Dasgupta, Ajay Ratra, and Nayan Mongia had been tried and failed before, so Patel was chosen as an understudy to Ajay Ratra. However, due to Ratra's injury, Patel unexpectedly found himself taking the crease.
Despite facing volleys, bouncers, and constant verbal jabs from the English team. All close call were used as a weapon to shake him off the crease. Patel simple said - im just 17
What have I to lose?
&simply stood his ground scoring 19 runs.
These runs becoming crucial, to help India secure a draw in the test match. Despite England's attempts to bully him, Patel's resilience and determination had pulled off a miraqcle for India
They had definitely pulled a great escape
This match marked a shift in the team's mindset, instilling them with resilience and confidence. It proved that they had the talent, grit, and perseverance to compete at the highest level. The stage was set for the final two tests of the series, a showdown between a furious England team and an Indian team resolved to secure victory at Headingley

Ganguly was a fearless cricketer.
He built a team from ashes.
He may not have any icc trophy but his contribution to the team cannot be forgotten.
He transformed🎉 ordinary players into great players.
He has an ICC trophy(Champions Trophy)
@@debmalyachatterjee22 yes I remember
Sachin and Dravid decided to just bat and bat and bat.. ❤.. our childhood defined!!
Ahh how many times have I watched it!
Everybody says Dhoni is a mastermind. I agree but Dada was no less. He made some bold decisions as well and he created a brilliant team and handed it over to Dhoni. Rest is history.
Dada ==> tactical Like Krishna, Dhoni ==> Cool Like Buddha, Kohli ==> Devastating like Kalki.
Ganguly is the reason we get MSD in the first place .
Dada who made Sehwag backed MSD for a long time against the selectors .
Dada is the creator of the fearless team that we have today .
His mindset changed the entire scenario of Indian cricket.
@@subhraizeyes. Ganguly gave Dhoni a great team. That's why Dhoni won? What kind of ass logic is that?
Every captain does and add something to the team. Dada Brought fearlessness. Dhoni brought fighting spirit and fitness into the team. Kohli made their aggression lethal. It's yet to be seen how Rohit fares. And how he adds to the team
@@Drxyz-tk6le TBH it was Yuvraj Singh why we won both the WCs. There is no question of who's impact in the team was more. It was Yuvraj.
@@Drxyz-tk6leui8😅
Parthiv has never disappointed with his batting in Tests. Min 30, 40 runs are guaranteed.
But sadly he did not get enough opportunities and with MS came his chances were gone forever .
Dhoni was introduced as a limited over wicket keeper batsman. That 148* gave him a permanent spot in ODI team. that later extended into Test matches as the performance of Parthiv as wicket keeper was falling even though he was improving his batting. Also Dhoni was goid at Indian pitches.
But that was our problem. We didnt need just 30, 40 runs. Even nayan mongia used to be 30 run player which used to cause the match for us even on home soil.
Today's generation can't match... Sehwag Sachin dravid Ganguly laxman ... In batting
Greatest lineup ever
Being a 19 or 20 year old wk batsman, scoring at an average close to 32 after playing 19 test matches(averaged 43 in 2004), which was by far the best performance by any wicket keeper for India back then, Parthiv Patel would have never thought he will lose his place to someone like Dhoni and then play just 6 more matches in next 20 years. Had it not been legendary batting lineup India had, he would have played many more matches and could have been a legend in International cricket just like he is in Ranji cricket.
What do you mean by someone like dhoni? 😒
@@arun___1015 Dhoni was poor in sena pitches
He was a mediocre batsman and keeper. Don't exaggerate past
@@arun___1015 I meant he lost his place to Dhoni and nothing else. Chill bhai.
@@Riuytfhjklf4634 But in 2004, when he was dropped from team when he was just 20 years old, his batting average of 32 is much better than any wicketkeeper who has served for India before, that's not mediocre in my view. Btw i'm not try to exaggerate , I was just wondering what could have happened.
If Ganguly didn't gamble that day then I wonder if we could ever see Sehwag the destroyer , a fearless batsman and a pure entertainer.
No matter how bold today's generation play but Sehwag was and only the destructive opener India ever produced .
Ikr ! Sometimes i wonder why people didnt nickname sehwag as hitman . You gotta admit the name suits him better
Next match IND won by Innings and 46 runs. Rahul, Sachin, Ganguly shown their class during this series.
Sachin Tendulkar made his debut at the age of 16 & he smashed all great bowlers.... He already had Centuries at Manchester, 114 on Dangerous WACA pitch (Perth) & Sydney (148) by the age of 17....!!
We can never see another boy like Sachin Tendulkar.
That too he played great bowlers without face protection grill on helmet.... That's why he got hit on his nose as there was no face protection grill on his helmet and scored a gritty half Century smashing Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis after bleeding profusely and saved the game for India.
The one & only Sachin Tendulkar.... No one can replace him.
Today's IPL interested generation should know about this man and how devastating the England team was. Hats off to one of the finest 1st class cricketers.
2002 English team devastating? That team was more often devastated than devastating
Beg to differ but this is the strongest ever England team produced from the 2000's. They're playing a new strategy which is paying them dividends in all formats. Unlike India, England selects players based on their strengths in each format not on seniority.
Lol it seems u r from this generation. England wasn't deadly especially when compared to current England.
England was like a normal team in 2000 to 2015. But after Morgan took captaincy they became a very strong team.
Only one team was ruling in 2000 and that was Mighty Australia!
@@biren5445watch 2005 ashes. England was truly good in england. They had some really good bowlers which we lacked
Remember the match. Parthiv saved that match for india. He showed amazing defence and grit against likes of Hoggard and Flintoff. Every England player patted on his shoulder ones match ended. Each one was mesmerized by his technique. It was wonderful. He looks like a 15 year old chubby school going boy. Remeber Sunil gavaskar commentating he was not sure if Parthiv Patel has started shaving. He was too young still pulled of great escape for his team.
when you said parthiv patel i wondered if there is another parthiv patel i didnt know that parthiv debuted back in 2002. what an underrated legend he is.
Yes, this test truly changed the future of Indian cricket. Sehwag as a test opener changed the face of Indian test cricket.
Mather Hoggard, Harmison and Flintoff were some of the most feared bowlers of that time.
man who shook thw british lineup with the Britannia bat 😂😂😂
And the people of T20 generation say, Ganguly have no contribution to Indian Cricket.....Indian Cricket fans are accustomed now to see that Indian team have a fighting chance in Away test, specially in SENA countries, but those days it was a horrible situation....
As per contribution .... Ganguly contributed more then kohli and rohit in international cricket. He made a great foundation later dhoni enjoyed it.
@@radhey465correct.
@@radhey465
Why didn't Ganguly & Dravid themselves as captain enjoyed those foundations & stacked team they captained?
If Ganguly is to be somehow credited for India's eventual world cup success in 2007 & 2011, then shouldn't he be attributed some blame as well for the colossal failures in 2006 champions trophy & 2007 ODI world cup. Or only success is to be credited, not failures?
@@elamcyril 2006 Champion's trophy:Maybe, 2007 World Cup: Definitely not. By then, the dressing room atmosphere was so bad, that even contemporary Australia would have probably lost given the dressing room atmosphere at that time. Multiple players, most notably Bhajji, Yuvi, Viru and Zak(if I remember correctly) have spoken about it. 2006, yes, maybe Ganguly's fault as despite his axing, we can't blame the atmosphere completely, but for 2007,we have multiple testimonies how bad the dressing room was. For God's sake, that loony Chappell wanted to have Sachin at 5 or 6 down in WC. Thankfully, Sachin refused, or else we would have lost to Bermuda as well.
Bro you are giving us a real walk down the memory lane! 👏
hope you enjoy it brother
@@cricketraazenglish surely brother keep creating contents like this
One of the greatest story of cricket told in such way that goosebumps are guaranteed in the end.
TRUE
Brilliantly documented ❤ loved watching this. Felt total goosebumps . Thanks for this ❤
From searching wicketkeeper who could bat, India hit Jackpot to find a wicket keeper who could bat, captain, and win World Cups 😅
I understood why people feel, it was too tough for India to play in overseas conditions past then. The transition of the India past then to now is incredible. Also Cricket Raaz, your story telling is awesome mate❤
dada was a don in Indian cricket... Current aggression and fighting spirit started during Ganguly period.
Dude what a great story telling
Never heard someone so passionately narrating a cricket match ❤❤
Good summary. That was the era of ups and downs but when Indian team clicked it was like poetry. Wish they had good pace attack.
Least someone came to tell the stories of those legends who made Indian Team to top tier..., I mean young people watching new players and disrespecting old players crushes my heart....please tell thek the struggles of those legends who played against world's biggest teams and they were called brave and god players by foreign people
Your storytelling skills is on another level! I always listen to these stories whenever I do my work. Can't wait for the next part of this saga.
gone put ramiz part 2 next...then headingly...😁
@@cricketraazenglish Perfect! 😊
i really want to learn this type of storytelling which keeps the audience on the edge of their seat and to be curious about what happens next , just fantastic narration
DADA : The creator The maker The captain
Sehwag and Dhoni are Legends. ONE played Tests like T20s . While the other played T20s like Tests.
😂😂😂
🤡🤡
Fact 😂🤣 the most overrated, fake finisher, media overhyped cricketer and has crores of brainless fans too in India
Ur story telling has an emotion , it has all the shades . It was like a story to learning to any generation in future . Really appreciate the master brain of Ganguly during those times where I as a kid use to get melted after seeing the loss of wickets
Just an amazing story of grit and determination and even more amazing story telling🎉🎉🙌
Dada is the creater of new team india...kids never understood that...
Everybody knows it but loli ke chode is ignoring it..
when he starts to talk about cricket in his Voice... I don't know how to describe his dedication and and his voice is just amazing bro.....Your Voice and Narration Makes Video Different Level...like a fire 🔥 😍
Thanks a lot brother...trying to improve with each and every video🙏🙏
That was the start of Indian cricket dominance in cricket!
Im binge watching your channel, obsessed with the storytelling and the presentation is too good , keep creating such content 💯
10:12 omg I can't believe how young and tiny he looks as compared to the England team! Young is the wrong word, looks like a 12 year old kid. And then taking them on!! Kudos!
see how the test cricket changed for India in 15 years before we used to have a mind set of drawing the test matches but now India is dominating test cricket
Ganguly changed indian cricket forever
Ganguly was the first true aggressive captain of india who laid the foundation to the present team
i just love the drama , sentiment , emotions and screenplay of events .
Amazing ! Superb narration… FULL OF PASSION , this is PURE CRICKETING GOLD !
What a great story, brilliantly told! Thanks for this fantastic video!
I could literally feel the match ❤
Veeru❤ always the best opening batsmen that india had ever produced ❤
Beautifully articulated, and the flow of story was delightful for any cricket fan, leave aside Indian cricket fan.
Yes bro two things happened in this test.... The maverick batsman who would change the way test batting would be in the future that's Sehwag sir and a bowler who would go on to save the test Mr. Ajit Agarkar 😊. Nice explanation sirji you bind us to the video with lot of excitement well done bro👌👍
Thank you brother🙏
In the age of IPL this was just Gold! 🎉
Nice batsman...
One of best opener.
imagine bro talking about WTC 2023 finals just like this after 25 years💀💀
they called him 'Dada' correctly said !!👏
This Parthiv Patel is the luckiest man ever in the history of cricket. He played close to 20 years for India even though he was in and out of the team .We don't remember many (or any) of his match winning knock. In the span of 20 yrs of his career he never scored a hundred, can u believe it, not in India or Subcontinent forget elsewhere. He was okayish wicket keeper, only thing kept him in cricket is his relevance. He played very well in the Domestic circuits when he was out of the national team, successfully captained Ranji sides, and earned himself a berth in national team time and time again just to keep it modesty with his mediocre performance. We don't know him for his batting prowess or any special wicketkeeping skills and probably some contacts he made himself lucky enough to make so many comebacks.
His last test series vs eng in 2016 was good as he played aggressive knocks as an opener
That test match gave indian team the best ever test opener.. The legendary bowler killer veeru
Thank you so much for using your storey telling skills to allow us an escape to good old days of life :)
Man that Indian teams batting was amazing.
Excellent narration !
Such grit changes team's mindset & they become a force to reckon with .
Love it! Great storytelling of an epic game!
Thanks brother🙏
Me who doesn't even care about Indian cricket players anymore, listening to your videos quite often only because you have good storytelling 😅
Awesome analysis - really enjoyed this!
Amazing research and words, seen this long video with continuous engagement after long time
Dada gave much chances to those players . Thats why he is the legend of INDIAN cricket team.
Damn I just love this channel! ❤ from one cricket fan to another
Love your voice ❤️
Dada a torch bearer for the team India
If that Indian Team had bowlers like Bumrah,Bhuvi and if umpires where bit fair that team would have been carnage
Golden days❤
THANK YOU CRICKET RAAZ...AFTER HARSHA BHOGLE SIR I CONSIDER YOU AS A PERFECT PERSON TO BE HIS SUCCESSOR
Best openers
Sachin and Sehwag
Rohit and Dhawan
Sometimes A Drawatch is more exciting than winning a match.
Wow! This video series is just amazing.The way you narrated kept me so engaged throughout the video. I was too young to remember this series and just thought of it as another draw on paper. Thanks for telling these underrated stories. You're a master storyteller.
Thank you brother. frankly my first proper memory was worlc cup finals of 2003
These stories are things i have heard from my father.
Evn this channelw was his idea
I never use to watch these kind of videos fully, but because of your narrative skill I watched this entire video without even skipping one second.
Thanks a lot brother🙏
I hope to keep creating similar videos
we are lucky to watch sehwag t20 batting in test matches
the future generation wont see it again
Buddy your story telling + nostalgia feeling is a great combination. Please try to make videos more frequently
You just take me back to my days as a young boy with huge dreams. I can't thank you enough for these videos of yours. God bless you with health and long life so that you keep doing what you are best at.
Viru is a legend. Period.

Just started watching your videos and have to commend on your narration and the craft of your story telling. As a cricket fan, appreciate your work.
Also, IDK if you have made a video, but if not, India's Final Against Australia, 2003 WCF, could be a nice story. How it rained and was suggested to cancel the match and then David Shepherd was adamant to get the match done, Gilchrist's alleged Squash ball and much more.
Dada great
This part 2 video came after 3 weeks. kindly post the next one asap man....✌️✌️
You have superb storytelling skills. Subbed instantly!
Arey yaar eagerly waiting for the next part: you guys take too much time
Mark my words.. We would never witness a test match like this ever again!.. With the amount of t20 that we are playing, the mindset shift has gone so bad that a 3 day test match is all we are gonna get!
It's a bit stretch to call Saba Karim a failure. He would have an extended career, if not for that freak injury to his eye. Anil Kumble bowled a batsman and the bail hit him in his eye, causing a permanent injury and ending his career for ever. This injury prompted keepers to wear the helmet while standing up to spinners now. They don't used to before that usually. In the few ODI's Karim had played, he had done decently especially in South Africa.
Wow man....what a narration....awesome...u have a bright future in writing a book...keep the good work...
Saurab Ganguly is the best thing that happened to Indian cricket 😍
*Worst as a president.
@@Sunil_nil_will u please elaborate
@@subhajitchakraborty7200 What to elaborate??? He fu*kéd up whole team for personal grudge against virat. Didn't you see what was our performance in wt20 2022?? Gald he is no more president.
Once you are Dada you will Always DADA❤
Dravid the Forever Wall
Today's fatafat cricket gen would never understand this magic we have seen in those days.
People should learn storytelling skills from you !!
Hats off 👏👏
Beautiful
Cannot wait for the third part. Lowkey waiting for a small reference to that six from Sachin to Caddick right on the edge of the boundary (bettered by the six at WC)
Woah...that's a deep cut.
you know the amount of times i have had to cut things from the script just coz people will get bored of small things like this.
it genuinely breaks my heart sometimes.
I will for sure try to add it in
hopefully the script is not too long
fingers crossed🤞
@@cricketraazenglishlong script by you will be like sprinkles on chocolates. I won't mind 20+ min video even.
@@cricketraazenglish I totally agree with you. The art of story telling is always tough (you excel at it). Given the short attention span that everyone has now a days only adds to the complexity :)
