Having the top score doesn't necessarily make it the best performance in the match. Yes, Ricky Ponting scored a double century in their first innings, but it took him almost 450 balls. Therefore, some performances are deemed better despite not having the highest scores.
@@Detective313"Undoubtedly, Man of the Match was Ricky Ponting , who amassed 706 runs in the series, emerging as the highest run-scorer. Rahul Dravid, with 619 runs, held the distinction for India. Interestingly, though Ponting outshone with the most runs, it was Rahul who was adjudged the Man of the Series. If the same criterion applied as in the Boxing Day Test for selecting the best player, Ponting, being the top run-scorer, should have been the recipient. The rationale behind Rahul receiving the honor remains a curious aspect."
Ganguly 144, Dravid 233, Laxman 148, Sehwag 195, Sachin 241. All of India's batsmen scored daddy hundreds. It was a once-in-a-lifetime series for real. ❤
Exactly 💯 Once in a lifetime series ❤️ Those Aussie were nightmare, and domination on their own backyard was unreal.❤❤ We almost won that series, only Steve Waugh was the barrier. Vvs laxman was my man of the series ❤️

@@SuperFastbowler I remember in 2010-11 series against SA, where Steyn and co destroyed indian batting line up.. However there was a lot of criticism for sehwag particularly that he isn't the good test player, he just throws kitchen sink at everything... But overall his impact and stats looks pretty good to me
@@avatharamveeraraghavan3001 Thats what i wrote... Gavaskar, navjot singh, Rohit, Gambhir, Murali Vijay (he was good against pace and spin in SENA) But only you can name a few in world cricket, who are better than him at the top... If i had to pick opening i'd def go with sehwag and Gavaskar
What time and players used to be...... Sehwag...Sachin....Ganguly...Dravid...Laxman....Mighty Yuvraj.....wow ........time when used to watch every ball of the match with love...Passion and tension💖💖💖💖💖👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝
And after that India collapsed and all out on 366 🫣.. Ponting scored double ton and Australia won test match by 9 wickets 🤐 That's beauty of test cricket match changes in every session ❤️
Since Sehwag's departure, the quest for an opening batsman of his caliber remains unfulfilled. Numerous contenders have emerged, yet none have managed to replicate his exceptional talent and charisma. Regrettably, India's opening batsmen have struggled to deliver their finest performances on foreign soil.
Would have been Rohit Sharma if he would have backed like Sehwag who despite having a string of poor performances was continuously backed by Ganguly , Rohit Sharma is unlucky to play in the captaincy of Dhoni and Kohli , he would have been a different player if he would have got someone like Ganguly
If KL had half his mindset he would have been so successful.Viru was a genius with both bat and ball. World is yet to see another batsman with such courage and skill at the same time.
I watched it all through live. I thought after the match was over, Indian team owed Sehwag an apology for losing the match (and letting go of the chance to win the series) after the start he provided. I still think the same after 20 years. Ian Chappel regards it as one of the best innings played in Australian soil. And he is right.
@@intelligentdude7108 true. India did well in the series because of that, I always thought. But, it is about this match in particular, which would have won India the series, had the other players backed Sehwag's super knock on day 1
Used to getup at 4.30AM-5.00AM in the morning when this test series was going on. Dada's 144 in the first test, Dravid and Laxman's magical partnership in the second test, Sehwag's 195 in this test and finally a 243* by the little master in the 4th test . The series ended up as 1-1. After 20 odd years, I still rate this test series as the best performance of India on Australian soil.
@@SATYAMKUMAR-fo8qn Not in test cricket boss. Both were absolute guns in ODI cricket. Lee was very inconsistent in tests. He'd have days where he would be 5/20 and days where he'd be 0/100. And Bracken averaged 43 in 5 tests. He was not good at test cricket. None of them were as good as McGrath or peak Gillespe. And none of them are as good as Starc, Hazlewood and Cummins in test cricket.
Now that Robelinda's channel is gone on TH-cam, Cricket Australia is now reuploading all the gold, which was earlier on ROB's channel. This was one of those videos which was viewed highly on ROB's channel. Hope we can get back that epic channel soon. 😢😢
@@SAFFRONINFERNO Nope. The channel back now is made by a fan who had downloaded all his videos. The original Robelinda isn't uploading anymore on TH-cam.
I started to watch test cricket to see his batting...if any player of his era who change the match scenario in one session, its sehwag...the best opener in test cricket i have ever seen...his strike rate of 84 and average of nearly 50 is highest for any opener in test cricket

Sehwag 195 Innings On a Boxing Day Test Match,On Australian Soil against the Mighty Australia Team With the Commentary Of Bill Lowry,Mark Taylor And Michael Slater What a Treat It Was 😊😊😊
Thankfully, there were no Indian commentators in it. They would have surely made a mess of it. Loved the commentary as Sehwag played one of his greatest knocks.
It wasn't 4th Test of the series as thumbnail shows... It was the 3rd Test... Of the 4 Test Match series... 1. Brisbane ( Sourav Ganguly 144 ) - Match Drawn 2. Adelaide ( Rahul Dravid - 233 & 72 / VVS Laxman - 148 ) - India won 3. Melbourne - ( Virender Sehwag - 195 ) - Aus won 4. Sydney - ( Sachin Tendulkar - 241* & 60* / VVS Laxman 178 ) - Match Drawn
It has been 20 long years. Despite numerous Boxing Day performances, it still stands out as one of the best.
Except it wasn't even the best in this match

Sehwag is one of the best opener that India has ever seen :) He was underrated in tests i feel
A small correction. Sehwag isn't one of the best but the best Indian opener of all times.
Underrated by what standards mate? He's rated pretty high and in proportion to his achievements. Don't throw around random words

Sehwag was the one who forced me to watch test cricket...what a player..never afraid of taking on any bowler of the world

20 years and still fresh
Still get heartburn when I think about India eventually losing this game. This innings deserved a win.
This match got drawn
Virender sehwag test strike rate was 83 with almost 50 average 'simply the greatest test opner ever ❤❤
Warner is also good….
Sunil Gavaskar ,only test opener with 10,500 runs at 51 average.
As an opener his average is 50+. And strike rate 80+. No one comes close.
This was a wonderful series I remember I woke up early in the morning even though my semester exam was ongoing
Same here
Seway 😅😅😅😅 one of the best opener in 20's era
The best and the most feared opener of his time ! He would make you pay for any mistakes.
Sehwag has still been waiting for the respect and credit he deserved from the Indian Cricket Experts.
His strike rate in test cricket is 82 . Crazy!!!!!
That too with an average of 50 in 104 test matches. It’s absolutely insane.
Odi strike rate 104,t20 strike rate 145+
