Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Top 5 Memorable Test matches played at the Gabba

2. 2003, 1st Test: Match Drawn

The 2003 Gabba test represented the Indian cricket team's resilient attitude, with Sourav Ganguly at the forefront. Ganguly won the toss and told Australia to bat first. Rain affected play throughout the first three days. Justin Langer's 121 pushed the hosts to 323 in the first innings. However, when Jason Gillespie removed Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar in one over, India were 62/3 behind. 

Ganguly then stepped out to the crease. Ganguly drove through the covers, cut through point, drew to mid-wicket, and flicked past mid-on, all with the finesse of a left-handed batter. With his 144-run knock, Ganguly led India from the front with the bat and sent a strong message to the Aussies that India would give a tough fight at that time.
