3 instances when teams won after following on in Tests

#1 India Tour of Australia, 2001

Second Test, Kolkata

Laxman and Dravid shared a record 376-run partnership for the fifth wicket

Regarded as one of the finest Test Match of the century, it was the greatest triumph for Team India in their Test history.

Australia were touring India with a 15 Test winning streak. They were scheduled to play a three-match Test Series in India.

They defeated India in the first Test comprehensively by 10 wickets to take the tally of consecutive Test wins to 16, which is still a world record.

When India were bowled out for 171 in their first innings in reply to Australia's 445 in the second Test, the 17th win was almost certain.

India were still trailing by 274 and Australian captain Steve Waugh enforced a follow-on.

His decision proved to be correct as India lost its three wickets for 115 that includes the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar.

Ganguly and Laxman carried on the proceedings from there on as they added 117 runs for the fourth wicket.

After the fall of Ganguly, Dravid joined Laxman and together the duo stitched a record 376 runs partnership for the fifth wicket.

Laxman amassed his career-best 281 runs while Dravid smashed a gritty 180. The duo had already laid the foundation for India's Test victory. Now it was all up to the bowlers.

At 657/7, India declared its inning with 383 runs lead.

Australia had to bat out 75 overs for a draw and the Australian openers ensured just that.

The Australian openers Hayden and Slater batted out 23 overs scoring 74 runs. But after the fall of Slater, Australia kept on losing quick wickets.

Harbhajan Singh who had already scalped 7 wickets in the first inning snared a six-fer again in the second innings.

Tendulkar, who could not contribute much with the bat, picked three wickets in the second innings as the Australian team were bundled out for 212.

India won the match by a massive 171 runs which was evitable when India came on to bat following on.

This was only the third instance in Test cricket of a team winning after following on.
