Ajit Agarkar’s 6 for 41 at Adelaide Oval in December 2003
So far, India’s only remarkable performance against Australia in Australia came in 2003-04 under the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly. The series ended in a 1-1 draw which was a big thing at that time. The one-off match which India won was played at the Adelaide Oval. The hosts, after opting to bat, first put on a massive total of 556. India was not behind as they managed to score 523 in their first innings.
The visitors then were in need of some quick wickets which they got from their front-line bowler Ajit Agarkar. The Mumbaikar showed his much-needed class with the ball after taking 6 wickets for just 41 runs. He dismissed their top-order and was too good for the lower-order. The Australian side collapsed at 196, thus giving Indians a total of 230 runs to achieve. Rahul Dravid was up for the target and gave the Indians a memorable victory on the Australian soil.
