Indian cricket's most iconic moments at the Wankhede

#4 Vinod Kambli's 224 vs England, 1993

This was the final game of three-match series between India and England. India already had a lead of 2-0 in the series. The team still had a lot to play for in front of its home crowd. England won the toss and chose to bat.

A brilliant inning from Graeme Hick at number six took England to a total of 347. Kapil Dev and Anil Kumble shared six wickets between them, and the onus was on the batsmen to consolidate the team's position. India had a good start to their innings, as Navjot Singh Sidhu and Manoj Prabhakar added 109 runs for the first wicket, before Prabhakar was caught of Hick's bowling.

At the fall of the first wicket, the local boy, Vinod Kambli walked in. It was just his third Test match for India, and the first on his home ground. At the end of the second day, Kambli was unbeaten on 20. Even in the small innings of twenty, he had shown his intentions by playing some fearless strokes. The 21-year looked set for something big.

At the fall of Sidhu's wicket, Kambli was joined by Tendulkar. The Mumbai boys were out there together. Vinod Kambli continued his fluent stroke play. He drove the fast bowlers to the off side with utmost ease. Tendulkar was still with him when he reached his century. The two school friends were doing it for India. The crowd was going berserk.

At the end of the third day, Azharuddin was accompanying Kambli. On the morning of day four, Lewis got rid of Azharuddin, and Pravin Amre joined Kambli. The younger Mumbaikar was a bit nervous as he neared his maiden double century.

He finally reached the mark with a single to the third man. The Wankhede crowd were on their feet. He added 24 runs to his double before getting out. India were dismissed for 591. England weren't challenging enough to get over that lead, as the hosts won by an innings and 15 runs.
