Talking about the 2001 Kolkata Test where India defeated Australia by 171 runs despite being forced to follow-on, ex-India captain Sourav Ganguly said, "Australia couldn't believe what India were doing to them." Discussing the 376-run stand between Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman in the Test, Ganguly termed it as the "greatest partnership" in cricket history. "They kept...fighting," he stated.
