Ganguly carries his bat Atul Kahate - 22 March 1999 Saurav Ganguly has become only the third Indian to carry his bat through a (completed) LOI innings. The previous instance occurred almost a decade ago when Ravi Shastri batted through the Indian innings against the same opponent - Sri Lanka, at the same ground VCA Ground, Nagpur. There have been many instances of Indian openers batting through an innings, but the following table lists only those when India were batting first. When batting second, the only such remarkable instance was Sunil Gavaskar's 'famous' 36 not out against England in the 60 over innings of 1975 World Cup. Others are when India won without the stipulated number of overs being completed, and hence, would not qualify for this table.
