4 times when India came from behind to win a Test series

#2 India v Australia (2001)

Perhaps one of the most significant Test series that India has ever been a part of and surely the biggest inflection point as far as Indian cricket is concerned, the Border Gavaskar Trophy of 2000-01 will always remain etched in golden pages in Indian cricket history.

Steve Waugh, who's Australian team had conquered the world, termed the tour as the 'Final Frontier'. In the series opener at the Wankhede Stadium, Waugh's men played like a champion team, routing the helpless Indians by 10 wickets in under three days, thereby extending their record victorious run in Tests to 16.

The next match at Kolkata started on similar lines and after the two teams ended their respective first innings, Australia, who scored 445 and led India's 171 by 274 runs, looked all set to steamroll the Indians once again after making them following on.

Two men, though, did not just stop them from doing so, but also scripted what would be the most epic tale in Indian cricket folklore. VVS Laxman (281) and Rahul Dravid (180) battled the quality Aussie bowling attack in addition to the sultry conditions and body cramps as they just batted and batted and batted.

The 376 run stand that lasted for 104.1 overs, enabled India to set the Aussies a mammoth 384 run target, giving themselves two sessions to force a victory. Harbhajan Singh who had picked up a hat-trick in the first innings, accounted for 6 more Australian batsmen to make it 13 for the match as the visitors got bundled out for 212, handing the match to India by 171 runs.

Harbhajan Singh picked 32 wickets in the series; Ganguly gave the team a new outlook

In the series decider in Chennai, Australia rode on the back of a scintillating double century from Matthew Hayden to post 391, the Turbanator once again wrecking havoc with 7 scalps. A collective batting effort led by 126 from Sachin Tendulkar helped India to 501. Harbhajan, like a child in a toy shop, went on to pick up 8 in Australia's second innings, taking his series tally to 32.

It was, therefore, quite fitting that the off-spinner and eventual Man of the Series hit the winning runs as India lost eight wickets in their attempt to chase 155. That India could win and win from any situation, and that the new millennium would witness Sourav Ganguly turning the Indians from mere pushovers to a force to reckon with, was made known to one and all.
