Ganguly's 131 and Dravid's 95 — Twin Debuts at Lord's, 1996

England vs India

1996-06-22

On June 22, 1996, Sourav Ganguly (131) became only the third batter to score a Test hundred on debut at Lord's, while Rahul Dravid fell five short of a debut century with 95. The pair added 94 for the fifth wicket — the first chapter in a partnership that would underpin Indian cricket for the next 15 years.
