Cricket world was unware from forthcoming Storms untill the footsteps of  the captain of captains, the 'Prince of calcutta' Sourav Ganguly (dada) and after  the wall of China, "The Wall" Rahul Dravid (Jammy) not laied at Lords.

These two legendary Era, not only of Indian cricket but also of the world
debuted in the test vs England on the very same day. where Rahul
Dravid fell just 5 runs short of achieving the rare distinction of a
century on debut, but youngster showed a lot of promise and had been a
regular member since. On the other side, a left hand batsman was
demolishing English attack with his off Side strokes and This way
Sourav Ganguly achieved the rare distinction of Golden debut with a
hundred. The crowd marvelled at the silky smooth cover drives and
India found a new batting star at the Mecca of cricket. DADA was also
get 3 wkts as a bowler.





  Though the match was ended with drawn but this was the beginning for
these two who later became captain of Indian team and after

cricket with huge records and achievements.

R Dravid 95 runs, 201 balls, 6 fours.

Kapil Dev's 175*: best odi ton

18 june 1983, this was one of the greatest match where Indian openers throw their wkts away very earlier but #KapilDev was hit a Splendid Inning of 175* in 138 balls (16*4, 6*6), which was certainly the best odi century by an Indian and also the first hundred for any Indian batsmen and India were scored 266 per 8 in 60 overs and then bowling from Madanlal (42-3) dominated to zimbabwe at 235 in 57 overs and thus India won the epic match by 31 runs !

India Vs Champion trophy !

Don't be so exclaimed if i wrote India vs CT in tagline of post coz certainly the team is at a new level in every department of cricket i.e. fielding, batting and bowling. may be bowling in death overs is a big concern there but hope in the danger zone of this format of cricket our bowlers ll do a better job. Now a days fielding and batting (for which Indian team known) are excellent as usual,openers Shikhar dhawan (264) , RG sharma (135) doing very well and all rounder Jadeja (47* runs & 9 wkts) is splendid. other players like Virat, Karthik , Raina, Bhuvi also doing handy job at ground. Captain MSD leading to the team from front. India won all their 3 mts with big margins as defeated WI, Pak and SA. Win agains pak was 1st in ct ever and 5oth overall in odi vs pak. Fans support at Eng is also superb for India even in uneventfully rain.

wish this going on .... Good luck Team India !
