India Vs England memorable matches

Natwest Final 2002 – the best ODI ever

India’s most memorable ODI match was the Natwest Final in 2002 against England. England team, batting 1st posted a mammoth score of 326 runs. While chasing India was struggling at 146-5. Later Mohammed Kaif and Yuvraj Singh stitched a match-winning partnership. Eventually, India won the match by 2 wickets with 3 balls left. Mohammed Kaif was named the man of the match and India eventually won the Natwest Final.

Sourav Ganguly was the happiest captain. He had lost hope when the team was stranded at 146 for 5. He said -“I never believed we could win but then Yuvraj and Kaif did wonders for us during that period. Lot of other games, not just that final. I remember after we came back from England, we played the Champions Trophy in South Africa, and again against Zimbabwe in the first game we were 50 for 5. And those days Champions Trophy was a knockout tournament. From that position Kaif got a hundred and India won. Then we beat South Africa, England and then went on to the final.”

When India won the match, skipper Saurav Ganguly at the lord’s balcony took his shirt off and started rolling it in joy. He expressed his joy in an interview saying – “Madness (taking off the shirt at Lord’s balcony). It was just happiness. We had never won a final up until then. We had lost 3-4 finals before that. Then we came here and we were down and out. 146 for 5 and the game was over. One wicket and we would have been done.”

Yuvraj Singh hits 6 sixes in six balls off Stuart Broad

In a match T20 match between England and India, Yuvraj Sigh and Stuart Broad were grilled up. There was an exchange of words between the two. Yuvraj Sigh being a Punjabi possesses the aggressive style of play. In the 19th over of the match, he smashed all the six deliveries off Broad outside the boundary rope all over the park. He ended up scoring 58* from just 16 balls with 7 sixes and 3 fours.

He later signed a jersey for him (Broad) off the field. On his recall of that moment, he said – “His dad, Chris Broad, is a match referee and he came up to me the next day and said ‘you almost finished my son’s career and now you need to sign a shirt for him’,”

“So I gave my India jersey and wrote a message for Stuart saying, ‘I have been hit for five sixes so I know how it feels. For the future of England cricket, all the best’. Stuart is one of the best bowlers in the world now. I don’t think any bowler from India could get hit for six sixes in an over and then have such a fantastic career,” he added.

To conclude, both the teams are very strong at their home. India although rank above England in the ICC men’s ranking, they haven’t won a series in the UK for quite some time now. There were a lot of expectations on Kohli and his men to win against England at their own backyard when they toured England in 2018. But they ended in a miserable defeat of 4-1 despite Kohli’s brilliance.

After a lean patch in 2014, Virat Kohli compensated by scoring mammoth runs for the team in the India Tour of England in 2018. Averaging 59.30 Virat scored 593 runs, thereby showing the world that he was capable of playing in the swinging conditions. But unfortunately, his runs didn’t contribute to the victory as India lost that series due to wrong planning and bad team selections.

England on the other hand is also a strong team at home but when they tour the subcontinent they struggle a lot. They had lost a test series 4-0 when they toured India in 2016/17. They will have a long tour of India from Feb 2021 which will be very important for the young England batsmen to prove that they are capable of the Asia pitches. Their top-order batsmen lack the experience of playing in the Indian subcontinent.
