5 great come-from-behind wins for India this decade

#4 Mohali, 2010 v Australia

Laxman scripted a miraculous win for India along with Ishant

In the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India conceded a massive first innings total of 428 to Australia with Shane Watson scoring a century. India replied with a credible 405, giving away a handy 23-run lead to Australia. Sachin Tendulkar missed out on a century, scoring 98 and adding 124 for the fifth wicket with Suresh Raina who scored 86.

Australia were all out for 192 in the second innings. That in itself was laudable considering their openers had added 87. Australia went from 154 for 4 to 170 for 8, eventually setting India a target of 216.

In the see-saw Test, India were in great trouble during the chase at 76 for 5 and then at 124 for 8. However, VVS Laxman added 81 for the ninth wicket with Ishant Sharma. Laxman scored an unbeaten 79-ball 73, while Sharma battled out 92 deliveries for his 31. In a scintillating finish, Dhoni’s side scored 216, holding on by the skin of their teeth and winning the match by just one wicket.
