'Winning the Test match in Adelaide': Aakash Chopra
During a recent Q&A session with the fans on social media, the stylish commentator had replied to a cricket fan's question by saying that the victory in the second Test match at the Adelaide Oval against the then mighty Australian team in the 2003/04 season was his favorite moment in the Indian jersey.
The former Test batsman justified the same by mentioning that they had conceded a first-innings lead despite the Aussies having scored 400 on Day 1.
The famous win at the Adelaide Oval
India in their first innings were reeling at 85/4 and that is when Dravid and Laxman came to the rescue. The duo smashed the Aussie bowlers all around the park and added 303 runs for the fifth wicket. Laxman scored 148 while Dravid scored 233 as India finished their innings at 523 thereby registering a 78-run first-innings lead.
The Aussies were bowled out for 196 in their second innings riding on Ajit Agarkar's six-wickets. India were set a target of 230 runs. Even though it sounded easy but it seemed a herculean task as the Sourav Ganguly-led side lost wickets at crucial junctures. However, the first innings hero Rahul Dravid anchored the run chase and led India to a famous win with an unbeaten 72. He was also adjudged Man of the Match and eventually went on to bag the Man of the Series award as well.
