Yesterday marked 20 years since the most memorable and exciting NatWest Trophy win in the history of Indian cricket. In 2002, the Sourav Ganguly-led Indian team defeated England and won the NatWest title. With that success, Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif made a place in the hearts of fans forever. One of the most memorable scenes of the NatWest Trophy was when Ganguly celebrated the victory by twirling his shirt while sitting on the balcony at Lord’s.
But the next day cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar revealed something that not many people know. Sachin talked about the atmosphere in the dressing room when Kaif and Yuvi were at the crease.
By the end of the 25th over, we had lost 5 wickets. It disappointed us a lot. At that time the young batters were at the crease. They didn’t have much experience. But we could see that energy in them. They made singles doubles. Got boundaries.’
Kaif played a supporting role when UV attacked. When Kaif attacked, Yuvi went straight back. When Yuvi got out, Kaif took the responsibility and stayed till the end. We decided not to move from the sitting position in the dressing room. And I told everyone that.’
Everyone knows that Dada threw the jersey. But there is another story that no one knows. Yuvi and Kaif came to me after the match. We played well. But they had to know what we had to do to play better. You have won the tournament for the country. I replied to them, ‘What more can we do?’- said Sachin.
