It’s 25 years since Sourav Ganguly became the first Indian batsman to score a Test debut hundred at Lord’s. He did so against England, who were led by Michael Atherton and in the process, helped India to go well beyond England’s first innings score of 344.

One-drop Ganguly scored 131 (301 balls, 20x4) as India totalled 429, helped also by Ganguly’s fellow Test debutant Rahul Dravid’s 95. The game was drawn after the opening Test defeat at Edgbaston. The Bengal  tiger also scored a hundred in the following Test at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.
