Heartiest congratulations to the Indian cricket team for their epic win against world champions Australia,India crush Oz to win series 2-0.Every cricket lover in India is overjoyed that Team India has given proof of its status as a dominant force in world cricket by thrashing Australia by 172 runs in final Test to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This win is made more remarkable by the fact that it is the first time in seven years that India has beaten Australia in a Test series. Moreover, Sourav Ganguly, the most successful Indian cricket captain, played his last Test here against Australia which culminated in a memorable victory. Keep it up Team India.
Sunday’s victory in the final Test was indeed historic. The crowd showed its respect to Sourav Ganguly with a standing ovation and even the Australian team was graceful enough to pay homage to their rival. But no one expected that the Bengal Tiger would end his career with a duck. Jason Krejza mercilessly took Ganguly’s wicket for zero. But by this we cannot judge his service and contribution to the country and the game of cricket for 13 memorable years. Though it was a duck, it was a golden duck on Dada’s way out.
In many ways, the Test series against Australia in Nagpur was perfect for India. In the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and as a team, India have managed the generation transition well. There was a time when this used to be the hallmark of Australia. Had the occasion been different, the day would have belonged entirely to Team India and not any individual. But it actually turned out to be Sourav Ganguly’s day.
