However, Team India scored 324 runs in the second innings and Australia needed 143 runs to win. In this match, Kapil took a pen killer injection and took 5 wickets for 28 runs, due to which the Australia team collapsed for 83 and India won the match by 59 runs.
Anil Kumble (2002)
The finest Test match between India and West Indies was played in Antiga in 2002. This was the fourth Test match of this series. In this match, India declared the first innings for 513 runs for 9 wickets. However, during India’s innings, Anil Kumble got a ball of Marvan Dillan directly on his mouth and his jaw broke. He had to leave the crease immediately. However, despite the broken jaw, Anil Kumble did not give up and returned to bowling. Kumblene showed his combative style and took the wicket of veteran batsman Brian Lara. This match ended on the draw.
Yuvraj Singh (2011)

Yuvraj took 362 runs in this tournament and also took 15 wickets. Team India won this ODI World Cup and Yuvraj won the Player of the Tournament Award. After the end of the tournament, the legendary player came to know that he had cancer and took part in the entire tournament in this disease.
Rohit Sharma (2022)
In the second ODI played against Bangladesh in 2022, Team India had to face defeat by five runs but Rohit Sharma’s best innings won the hearts of all the fans. In this match, Rohit Sharma suffered a finger injury in the second over of Bangladesh’s innings. Due to this, he did not land for the opening, but when Team India was in a very difficult situation when the captain decided to bat. He came in the 43rd over, when Team India needed 64 runs and 7 wickets fell. After this, Rohit batted with the help of three fours and five sixes off 28 balls, but he failed to win his team.
Rishabh Pant (2025)
Rishabh Pant is the newest name in this list. Rishabh Pant’s performance has been very good in the Test series against England. He has fiercely classed the England bowlers. In the fourth Test match too, the fans had high expectations from him, but they were injured during the first day’s game. Chris Woakes’s ball went straight to Rishabh’s leg. He was taken to the hospital and such a report was coming out that he would not be able to participate in this match now. However, Rishabh returned and scored a valuable half -century for his team.
