Each and every Indian fan would remember this most electrifying 6-match series against England (mostly due to Flintoff's behaviour after the 6th match).

With the series on the line at 2-3, England decided to bat on a spin turf in India's fort (Mumbai). Harbhajan (Bhajji) with his stock delivery (off-spinner) and doosra, was unplayable in the dust-bowl. After a fascinating spell, Bhajji ended up with a 5-wicket haul which included important wickets of Trescothick and Collingwood.

Though India restricted England to a par score of 255, the Indian team found it difficult to chase down the total, falling short by 5 runs. By this win, England drew the series 3-3 and Flintoff came out with the famous shirtless celebration.
