The T20 cricket brought a scope of some impossible equations being chased down. But the same hasn’t been possible in the ODI format where the dynamics remain tough chasing big runs towards the end. Till date, only seven instances have been recorded where a team scored 15 or more runs in the final over of an ODI. Only three of those seven instances were recorded in the past decade and none in the last six years and two of them even before the debut of T20 format.

(Photo Source: Twitter) Back in March 2001, India, under the leadership of current BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, won one of the most remarkable Test matches at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Back then Australia, led by the enigmatic Steve Waugh , was near invincible and were equally lethal in home and overseas conditions.
