Sourav Ganguly 183 India V Sri Lanka World Cup 1999, Match Highlights

Taunton Heroes: When Sourav Ganguly hit 183, Rahul Dravid 145 in 1999 World Cup epic vs Sri Lanka
It was big-hitting of the highest order, something that was unheard of at that point in the cricketing world. Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly brought up ODI cricket's first-ever 300-run partnership, adding 318 runs in just 44.5 overs. Ganguly posted his highest ODI score -- 183 runs, hitting 7 sixes and 17 fours and 158 balls. And Dravid made 145 in just 120 balls, hitting a solitary six and 17 boundaries.

India posted their then higher World Cup tally of 373 and sealed a 157-run win as Sri Lanka were bundled out for 216.

Revenge of 1996 semi final. So heartening to see

Dravid played gem of an innings. He got to his half century in 30 odd balls. In my eyes, Rahul became a legend after this innings

[ravikumartrading]

I still remember i watched this live on that day...

[andor]

99 worldcup had the best jerseys...till date..all teams came up with special never seen before jerseys

[papai]

Yes srl knocked out of the world cup...revenge taken.

[kabishraj]

Ganguly’s and Dravid’s innings deserved Richie Benaud, Bill Lawry, Ian Chappel and Tony Greig’s superlative commentaries...Wish they were covering this match.

I was 16 year back then i witnessed his performance ❤ i am 40 now but no such performance made me crazy about it. I know we lost to mighty Australia but that match was pure gold which was never replicated or came close to it. Pure Gold❤

[ranganh]

Felt so good after what happened in 1996.

Best record made in history of cricket by sourabh

Actually it was a pay-back saga as we can easily see hard-hitting of Dada and The Wall. Punishment for each bowler SL tried. If we could had won against ZIM predictions would have been..

[MyersReg]

Sri Lanka were quite terrible in this World Cup - completely outplayed by almost every team- they were lacklustre and look very unprepared for the conditions in England.

[prathikpatil]

Arvinda Desilva was just like Javed Miyandad for SL. If he settled it's hard to get him out.

[CykoAcharya]

Here is a shot of DADA making a leg stump ball in off stump and made a huge six/four (before watching this video telling). Sir RD knows their language and he instructed him that you will be getting this ball surely next, it's to injure you so that you can't use anymore short length balls because it's gonna get next to you right chest ribs where now you not wearing😂😂😂😂, next he made it on side ball and a straight one.. THAT'S OUR DADA❤❤❤❤ FORMIDABLE CAPTAIN, AND A GREAT BATSMAN❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[prathikpatil]

Vaas bowled Ramesh and Ramesh caught him. Coincidence ❤
