One of the most intriguing series entered its finale at Sydney with the series locked at one apiece. India trying to make history by winning or drawing the series in Australia which would also ensure they retain the Border Gavaskar trophy, batted first after winning the toss.

With the match evenly poised at 194-3, Laxman joined an out of form Sachin and the pair went on and on to put on a 353 run partnership that demoralized the mighty Aussies on their home turf and ensured India had the Border Gavaskar trophy retained, while also putting the team in pole position to go for an unimaginable Series win.

Tendulkar scored 241 and Laxman 178 as India posted a gigantic 705-7 in their first innings putting the match beyond the reach of Australia and helping India earn a series draw against Australia in Australia when they were the outright superpower of World cricket.

Till date, it perhaps remains India's greatest test achievement.
