The greatest rivalry in cricket history will be between India and Australia. The best moments between these teams are memorable forever. In 1981 at Melbourne, Dennis Lillee bowled a half cutter which hit Sunil Gavaskar’s stump pad. Though the umpire gave Sunil a leg before wicket, he did not accept it. He along with his partner Chetan Chauhan walked out the ground angrily. The innings then started only after the Indian manager Durrani chauhan went to bat. In 1992, when Sachin was a new comer he took off at the Test at Perth. He came as the second batsman and became the second last wicket to fall and scored 114 runs. Even after running out of partner, he got 50 with 55 balls. This was commented by Wisdon ‘captivating and scintillating’.
