Sunil Gavaskar

"What a thrilling win. The mind boggles at it all. That cricket is a game of glorious uncertainty has been a cliche used for over 100 years, but truly this match proved how true it is." - On the Indian win in The Times of India

 
Geoff Marsh

"The individual heroics of youngsters like V V S Laxman, Rahul Dravid and Harbhajan Singh, under the dynamic captaincy of Saurav Ganguly, fully deserve our praise." - Praising the Indian players on their stupendous performance

 
The Pioneer
"The Australians still remain the best team on the planet but, on Thursday, they looked mortal as 11 inspired underdogs took them on as equals -- for once. It was a victory born out of self-belief, of perseverance, of dogged determination in the face of certain defeat." - A report in the Indian newspaper
 
The Indian Express

"Miracle: 11 Indians with tons of attitude. An Indian side searched deep within themselves, found something magical and ended the day improbable winners." - In the Indian Express

 
Michael Donaldson

Laxman's 275 has dissected the Australian field with the exactitude of a surgeon's scalpel." - A prominent Australian sports writer
