#5 Follow-on glory

It was one of the greatest Test matches ever

On day 3 of the Calcutta Test of the 2001 Border-Gavasker Trophy, India were 274 runs in arrears and Steve Waugh duly asked India to follow-on. When Rahul Dravid came out and joined VVS Laxman, the scoreboard read 232/4. The duo held fort on day 3 as Laxman completed a hundred. Day 4 was momentous as the pair batted all day to give their side as lead of 315 by close of play. Set a target of 384, India registered a sensational 171 run victory. Considered one of the best Test matches ever, it will always be remembered for the innings of Laxman (281) and Dravid (180).
