Shane Warne wickets: When the spin wizard bamboozled India

In the third Test in Bengaluru, India won the toss and decided to bat first. Navjot Singh Sidhu provided a solid start for the Indians with a well-paced 74. However, he was bowled around his legs by Shane Warne as India lost its second wicket at 109. Rahul Dravid, who was well-settled at 23 off 93 balls, was then dismissed by Warne just few deliveries later in the same spell. In spite of India gaining a 24-run first-innings lead, Australia went on to win the dead-rubber by 8 wickets to make it 1-2 in the series. While Shane Warne was a bit expensive with his match figures, his first-innings spell against Navjot Singh Sidhu and Rahul Dravid is quite memorable in cricketing folklore because both batsmen had an impressive record in tackling spin.
