But Sourav Ganguly was still around. In the company of a confident and stylish VVS Laxman, the Indian skipper set about resuscitating the Indian innings. A few productive pulls and some delectable trademark off-side shots made his 50 a memorable innings. En route, he also became the third Indian after Mohammad Azharuddin and Sachin Tendulkar to go past 8,000 ODI runs. The Indian skipper went on to make 78 off 99 balls, including nine fours, before an attempt to clear the long-on fence led to his downfall.
