A Test match between India and Pakistan is always special. The first Test between the two nations in Chennai in 1999 was more so as India was hosting Pakistan for the first time in 12 years.

India managed to take a lead of 16 runs in the second innings of the Test and dismissed Pakistan for 286 in the third innings. The target of 271 was a challenging one but considering the strong batting line, India was expected to chase it down.

India were comfortably placed at 254/6 and were on course to achieving the target when Sachin Tendulkar, who had scored 136 runs, was dismissed. The rest of the bartting line up could just contribute 4 runs and the entire team was bowled out for just 258 runs. Pakistan won the Test by 12 runs.

India went on to win the second Test in Delhi and the 2 match Test series was drawn 1-1.
