Test match worth Remembering forever

Mar 11-15, 2001, #Kolkata : If I am taking you back to 2001 I have got a valid reason to do so. In one of the most remarkable comebacks in the history of cricket, VVS Laxman (281) and Rahul Dravid (180) batted for one whole day to not only save the test match, but also build a huge lead over Australia. India were following on by 274.They ended up setting a target of 384. 

That wasn't enough to demolish the Aussies, the birth of a spin wizard took place that day,Harbhajan Singh took 6 wicket in second innings, Harbhajan became the first ever Indian to take a test hat trick, India won the match by 171 runs and became the second team to win a test match after following on. India had chased and snatched the victory from mouth of the mighty Kangaroos, hence breaking their record of 16 consecutive test wins.This possibly is the greatest Test ever played.
