#10 102 vs Australia, Mohali, October 17-21 2008
Even in his last international series, Ganguly wasn’t ready to mellow down. Rather, he was recharged with a revitalised spirit and was ready to take on one of the toughest teams to play international cricket. In the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2008 held at the PCA Stadium, Mohali, India ran riot and defeated the Australians by a massive margin of 320 runs. In the 1st innings of the match, Ganguly scored what proved out to be his last century in international cricket, when he made 102 runs off 225 balls with 8 fours.
Riding on the veteran’s hundred, Tendulkar’s 88 and Gautam Gambhir’s 67, India posted 469 runs in their first innings, and a five-wicket-haul by Amit Mishra helped the team bundle out the opposition for 268. The home side then decided to add more insult to the Australia’s injury by not enforcing the follow-on and batting in their second innings, wherein Gambhir’s century lead them to 314/3 declared, as the Australian bowlers were made to toil hard. The visitors were bundled out for 195 in their 2nd innings thereby giving India the victory.
