June 20, 1996: When Ganguly made his
Test debut a one to remember


21st June 2025
It might be 29 long years back, but the memories from June 20, 1996 Test match at the Lord’s is still fresh and alive.
A young Sourav Ganguly after being handed over the Test cap came out to bat at No.3 against England at the hallowed turf of Lord’s Cricket Ground. What followed next has been written in the history book.
A scintillating 131 runs from 301 balls in the first innings is undoubtedly one of the greatest Test innings of all time, signalling the beginning of a new era.
The ton by Ganguly was not just a century, but a statement that the young boy from Kolkata is ready for the big stage, showcasing the talent he owned.
