India's 200th Test: India vs Pakistan, Lahore, December 10 - 15, 1982 Their was no Covid-19 in 1982, but there were no spectators in Lahore's historic Gaddafi Stadium to see the Test match as the Pakistan Cricket Board - then Board of Control for Cricket in Pakistan (BCCP), had sold the entire series to a private party for around £800,000. The contractor set high entry prices, keeping many spectators away.

The rates were cut by half after the second day, but the crowds did not return. The match, first of the six-Test series, had some terrific performances from batsmen of both sides.

Zaheer Abbas played a monstrous knock of 215 runs, which was also his 100th first class ton, as Pakistan finished their first innings at 485, after being asked to bat by Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar. Returning to the side after nearly two years, Mohinder Amarnath led India's reply with an unbeaten knock of 109 runs.

Sunil Gavaskar also scored 81, and passed the 7,000 Test run mark, while Sandeep Patil played a quickfire knock of 68 off 56 balls. India scored 379 in their first innings.

Pakistan scored 135/1 in their second innings, and the match ended in a draw. India's 300th Test: India vs South Africa, Ahmedabad, November 20 - 23, 1996 It was the first Test of the three-match series against South Africa, and VVS Laxman also made his Test debut in this match.

India however hit back with spin and the then trio of Anil Kumble, Sunil Joshi and Narendra Hirwani scalped 8 South African wickets, and South Africa could take just 21-run lead. India struggled again with the bat and were reduced to 123/6 in their second innings.

Laxman scored 51 and helped India reach 190. South Africa needed 170 to win but lost two wickets without adding a run to the scoreboard.

India struggled with the bat again, but Dravid scored 81 as they made 200. India had a 97-run lead but could not build a big advantage with the bat.

Dravid again led the way, scoring 68 as India were dismissed for 171. West Indies were set 269 to win.

The Test match was being played at the time when India were at peak of their home domination with Ashiwn and Jadeja at their best. Murali Vijay (65), and Cheteshwar Pujara's (62) half-centuries took India to 318 in the first innings on a decent pitch.

While Tom Latham (58), New Zealand captain Kane Williamson (75), and Luke Ronchi (38) played promising knocks as Black Caps batted for almost 96 overs, Jadeja (73/5), and Ashwin (93/4) made sure India had a lead of 56 runs. Four Indian batters - Vijay, Pujara, Rohit Sharma, and Jadeja - scored fifties in the second innings as India declared at 377/5 on day 4, setting an improbable target of 434 runs for New Zealand.

Of course Ravichandran Ashwin finished the job in the fourth innings, taking a six-wicket haul, and India scripted a famous win by 197 runs at Green Park. India went on to win the series 3-0.
