Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @cricketmax87   India bounced back strongly against Australia in this high-scoring clash, winning by 37 runs to level the series. Batting first, India posted a massive 283/5, powered by brilliant centuries from Sachin Tendulkar (100 – his 35th ODI ton) and VVS Laxman (102). The duo added a sublime 191-run partnership, while late cameos from Yuvraj Singh (19)* and Ajit Agarkar (26)* pushed India past 280. Australia started the chase explosively, as Adam Gilchrist (83 off 79) and Matthew Hayden (52) added 132 for the opening wicket. However, once Gilchrist fell, India stormed back. Zaheer Khan, Anil Kumble, and Virender Sehwag (with his golden arm, removing Martyn & Bevan in one over) triggered a collapse. Australia went from 132/0 to 186/6, eventually being bowled out 37 runs short. It was a sweet redemption for India after their World Cup Final defeat earlier that year, with the home crowd treated to Tendulkar’s artistry and Laxman’s class. ⏱️ Key Moments Sehwag out in 1st over → India 0/1 Sachin Tendulkar (100) & VVS Laxman (102) add 191 runs India finish on 283/5 (last 10 overs: 100 runs) Gilchrist blitz: 83 (79), Hayden 52 → 132-run stand Zaheer Khan dismisses Gilchrist → collapse begins Kumble traps Hayden & Ponting cheaply Sehwag’s golden arm: bowls Martyn & Bevan in 3 balls Australia lose 9 wickets for 97 runs → fall short by 37 🏏 Match Facts: Match: India vs Australia, TVS Cup 2003, 2nd ODI Venue: Captain Roop Singh Stadium, Gwalior Date: October 26, 2003 Result: India won by 37 runs Man of the Match: Sachin Tendulkar (100 runs, 9 fours, 1 six) 👉 Subscribe for more India vs Australia classics, Sachin Tendulkar centuries, and 2000s ODI highlights!
