While India/Bangladesh playing, the star lefthand opener on the very first over stroke a ball and run for a single as if a single run is the winning run for the team and the game changed from there. He took a risky run and led veru to fell down and eat the sand & grass and he hit the bowler. Why we need such a risky run in the very first over ????????? The fact i guessed is that, he want to secure his place. He stroke many balls for no runs and then get a single and stay safely in the other end to hold his position. His way of playing clearly shows that. So i feel, the first over changed the game completely.

From your logic, 191 is a losing total, but 190 (after excluding Ganguly's single run) is a winning one. I recommend you for the next President of BCCI.

Hi Ravi, What i point is, not to take risky runs at the initial stage itself, as we've many overs to go. If we loose wickets from start itself, u can guess the situation after that.

Mr. Herald, Ur message is serious crap, the run was never impossible. firstly it was Sehwag's call not ganguly's, then only indian cricketers made it look so. In any australia or SA match u can see this type of runs a 100 times !!! Aur boddho ki tara Ganguly ko kiu badnaam karte ho bhai ??? run liya to bologe run leta hain, nahi liya to bologe nahi leta hain, run banayega to bologe short ball nahi khel sakta, run nahi banayega to bologe team ka bojh hai, Ek end se wicket protect karega to bologe slow khelta hain !!!! Akhir kare to kya kare bechara ?? uske pichhe haath dho ke kiu pareho yaar ???

Yes Mr.Pravin you r 100% correct. The perticular run and missing runout created pressure on the team against small team bangaladesh. No need to take such risky runs at starting that run nobody expected.
