India vs England at Lord’s in 2004 – Having lost the first two of the three ODIs, the Sourav Ganguly-led Indian team was under immense pressure to circumvent a whitewash. The story was no different in the final ODI as Indian team was bundled out on a low total of 204, with ‘Dada’ Sourav Ganguly playing a brilliant innings of 90. The responsibility was on bowlers’ shoulders to now do something special.
Irfan Pathan, along with his new-ball partner Ashish Nehra, made most out of the swinging conditions at Lord’s as half of the England batting line-up was back to the pavilion with the team still to touch the 50-run mark.
Michael Vaughan tried hard to get his team out of trouble but he too got out courtesy a smart piece of stumping by debutant Dinesh Karthik. Soon after his dismissal, Indian team sealed an emphatic win over the hosts.
