India’s chase began strongly as Sourav Ganguly and Virender Sehwag added a century opening stand. But a flurry of wickets put England in the driver’s seat and India were under immense pressure. Mohammad Kaif and Yuvraj Singh rose to the occasion, scoring 87 and 69 respectively, helping India win by 2 wickets with three balls to spare.
Sourav Ganguly celebrated the win by taking his shirt off and spinning it wildly while standing at the Lords balcony, something which has become an iconic moment in Indian cricket history.

Sourav Ganguly was also asked which was his favourite moment between the 2003 World Cup final and the 2002 NatWest Final. Sourav Ganguly said that both had equal amount of importance as in the World Cup except the defeat in the final to a great Australian side, India played really good cricket throughout. He also said he enjoyed commentating during the 2019 Cricket World Cup in England, claiming that the atmosphere in every game was worth remembering.
