Accurate representation of Mahamanav Modiji pheroing paani on India







India's best patch in test cricket, I still feel was from 1968-1973. Somehow this period doesn't get highlighted in Indian cricket's history. But in this short span of time, India won 3 series away from home, including a series win in New Zealand, West Indies and England. India also managed to win a series at home vs England, and drew a series vs New Zealand at home. The last series England, lost prior to India's victory in 1971, was back in 1966 against West Indies. 5 years and they had not lost a single test series. The series win in West Indies, marked the 1st 2 instances for Indian batsmen scoring 600+ runs in a test series, where Sunil Gavaskar managed to score 774 runs and Dilip Sardesai scored 642 runs. This was not just India's first test series win vs West Indies, but also their 1st ever test match victory vs Windies, after 12 losses against them in test cricket. Ajit Wadekar was India's leader on these historic tours of India to England and West Indies. He was also the highest run getter for India in the 1968 tour of New Zealand, India's first overseas series win.

My most fav video. Cloud of flowers! But it was so cold and windy that day.
