Who does not know the final match of the NatWest Series 2002 played at Lord’s Cricket Ground, in which India defeated England by 2 wickets. The one who did not see that match, he must also know the celebration of Sourav Ganguly by taking off the t -shirt, which is an iconic moment. In this match, 2 players did not listen to captain Sourav Ganguly, which was revealed after many years. Among them, one player is Sachin Tendulkar.

In the final match, England batted first and scored a huge score of 326 runs, it was considered impossible to achieve such a big goal at that time, but Sourav Ganguly was confident that we could do this. Ganguly (60) started the innings with Virender Sehwag (45) and shared a 106 -run partnership for the first wicket.

When Sehwag did not listen to Ganguly!

Many years later, Sourav Ganguly revealed this and said, “When we had a good partnership, his bowler Ronnie Irani came, Sehwag hit the first ball, so I told him that now a good partnership has been done. Great but now 8 runs have come.

Sachin Tendulkar also did not listen to Sourav Ganguly

After winning the final of the NatWest series, Sourav Ganguly took off his t -shirt in Lord’s balcony, but after many years Rajiv Shukla revealed that Ganguly wanted this from the entire team. But then Sachin Tendulkar came to him and said that if everyone does this, it will not be good, this is a gentleman game and Ganguly can do so, if you want to do so. Then Ganguly did this and it became a memorable moment.

But Ganguly did not take the t -shirt like this, but there was a big reason behind it. This was a kind of revenge. Ganguly had launched her t -shirt at Lord’s because earlier in India, Andrew Flintoff launched her t -shirt. Ganguly was also captain at that time.
