India, chasing England's imposing 325 for five, rode on a match-turning
partnership (121 runs) between Mohammad Kaif (87 not out) and Yuvraj
Singh (69) to chase the target with three balls and two wickets to spare
in July 2002.
Ganguly, watching the tense final moments from Lord's balcony with his teammates, immediately removed his blue jersey when Kaif hit the winning run and swung it around his head like a lasso thrower.
Shukla said Ganguly did it as a riposte to what England's Andrew Flintoff had done following a series-levelling ODI victory at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai the previous year.
