Going Ga-Ga Over Gagan

By Ayaz Memon, Sports Editor, Times of India

For speed, dribble, verve, timing and accuracy, there could not have been a more spectacular effort in recent times than Gagan Ajeet's diving, reverse-hit that got India the 6th goal against Pakistan in the 2003 Champions Trophy.

I have watched replays of the match a dozen times, and the thrill of that moment only grows.

This was the decisive moment of the game. When two teams are locked in a ding-dong battle for supremacy, the deadlock is often broken by a stroke of genius. Gagan's goal was like a blow in the solar plexus to an unsuspecting opponent.
