India's cricket history is filled with a lot of memorable Test victories, but the 2001 Eden Gardens Test holds a special place in the hearts of the fans. The "unimaginable" Test victory over Australia is considered as one of the greatest comebacks of all time and it transformed the Indian cricket.

India have won many matches, but somehow, the Eden Test of 2001 has remained special one as under Sourav Ganguly's captaincy, the Men in Blue secured a brilliant victory over the Australians. India were followed on in the first innings, but a brilliant partnership between Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman made sure that it was a day to remember for the Indian cricket fans.

The Test also remained special for other reasons as well. Before that, the Australian team which was led by Steve Waugh had been on an unbeaten streak for a long time. The team had been labeled as unbeatable by everyone, but Ganguly-led India stopped that streak to bring a smile to the faces of a billion Indians. While Dravid and Laxman formed a 376-run partnership that is a part of the history now, Harbhajan Singh also bowled brilliantly to be considered as one of the most important members in the win as he wiped the floor with his incredible spells in both innings.

It is already 17 years to that historic day and to celebrate and remember the occasion, we have this special quiz for you. Take this quiz and live those wonderful moments once again.
