2002 Natwest Series News

Graeme Smith has stated that Sourav Ganguly’s celebrations after India won the 2002 Natwest Series showed the southpaw’s determination and passion to drive the team forward. He also added that if someone poked Dada they were always going to get it back from the now-turned BCCI president.

Former England skipper Nasser Hussian, in a Sky Sports podcast, has recalled how he referred to India’s Mohammad Kaif as a ‘bus driver’ before the latter’s match-winning knock at Lord’s in 2002. Hussain further noted that the 2002 Natwest Final chase gave a huge boost to Indian cricket.

On Tuesday, Yuvraj Singh has revealed that he did not receive as much support from MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli’s time as captain as he did during Sourav Ganguly’s reign in Indian cricket. He also admitted that having too much expectations on youngsters like Rishabh Pant puts them under undue pressure.
