Sunshine days for Indian Cricket

The Indian Cricket is perhaps going through one of its best periods and this week has been especially special for the entire team as well as the choicest few, the real stalwarts of the Indian cricket team. The celebrations went underway on October 5, 2010 after team India lodged a historic win against the Australians in the first match of Border-Gavasakar test series. The one wicket win did not come easy and all kudos to VVS Laxman for inspiring the team to such a historic win.

By the fourth day of the match, India had to chase a score of 216 in order to win and before noon, it had already lost 8 wickets for a meager total of 128. Laxman and Ishant Sharma shared a partnership of 81 runs and literally all hopes were doomed when Ishant was given LBW out by the umpire. And the rest they say is history as following nail biting moments, VVS Laxman and Pragyan Ojha saw India to a glorious finish. With this win, Indian managed to maintain its number one ranking in international test cricket. The moment of great gloom was when master blaster Sachin Tendulkar was given out by the umpire when he was only two runs away from scoring another test century.
