When the young guns gave Dada a chance to wave off his shirts in Lords

13th July 2002 Lords, That day was the birth of a young team India. India chasing a mammoth total of 325 vs England in the #NatWest Final. 
Not many team chased over 300 in those days. India started well but soon they were no where when they lost 5 wicket and was left out with last recognized batting pair Kaif-Yuvraj. They put on 121 runs for the sixth wicket, which gave Saurav Ganguly the then Indian captain a chance to wave off his shirt in the air form the lords balcony creating an iconic moment in Indian History. 
I believe from that particular day India felt that they can even win matches away from home and even the young guns can come and spoil the party for the opposition. That match according to me was the birth of an new team India.
