Down Underdogs

One of the best series to be played. Best of test cricket. Well done to make this into a mini-series.

However the series is a bit slow, and repetitive. Should have done a better job in editing a lot of talks and more match highlights.

Watch this incredible 3 hrs 50 min series as a cricket lover. I am damn sure you will get goosebumps after each episode.. A team which was booed, trolled and then do this type of comeback...Just EPIC moment in the Cricket History...I was in TEARS man...tears of joy...Never ever underestimate the wounded TIGERS..Jai Hind.

This is a MUST WATCH for every cricket fan and for sure all Indian fans.

It's done quite well over 4 hours and the experts add to what India achieved.

Many may not recall that India played with (according to me) a C-Team in the final match at Gabba. We had got an injured 11 already😅. Can you believe our 3 bowlers for this crucial match were Washington Sundar, Natarajan and Shardul Thakur and of course a 3 tests old Mohd Siraj. And between the first 3 we had 14 wickets😳 and 177 runs 😲😲😲

And then they win that test match against a full Australian side and win the series.

Did this really happen or is this a dream of a desperate Indian cricket lover??? 😊

The kind of series that 2020-21 Aus vs ind test series was, it was like someone had literally written a blockbuster fairy tale script for it. Injuries, nightmare 1st test, body blows, racial abuse, losing your loved ones back home still bowling in Aus, underdogs, facing goliaths of cricket, still winning at the end....you see all the elements you see in a commercial blockbuster thriller like fairy tale are there in this series.

The series was such, it could even leave behind the memories of the 83 WC underdog story but then WC is another next level story but you know winning in Aus against Aus in tests has always been classified as WC level achievement. I dont think any series for india till date has such twisted, emotional and inspiring tale written in it .

What makes this particular documentary interesting to watch is the BGM, the interesting analysis and talks by experts on the conditions during that series , the way they describe the underdogs like Natarajan, Thakur for example, who had to fight their way into the test team and still making a massive impact. Siraj's story is sure to pull at your heart. He is a man of inspiration. His 5 wkt haul at Gabba and then raising the ball towards the sky dedicating it to his late father brings tears to your eyes. Pujji no matter how bad his form maybe of late, will always be remembered for his heroic stand he took at gabba taking body wounds from balls like bullets and yet making a 50. There are many such sub stories that make up this fairy tale.

Today's youth in 20s who are cricket fans have got a perfect tale of cricket to narrate to their future gens just like our dads would narrate stories of the 83 wc. Watch this show its extremely well made i would say. Keep it in safe for the future gens to watch as well.

You will great goosebumps watching this documentary and relieving the days when India defeated Australia with there determination and strongwill with a depleted team no one thought that they can come back from 36 all out 1 match down to winning the series 2-1.

Epic documentary. This one is for ages .

Note -50 years down people will come and visit this series just to relieve that nostalgic feeling .
