A Cricket Documentary Maker's Breakdown | Bandon Mein Tha Dum | Love & Revenge - Stories that Spread 

Still remember waking up at 5 am to watch that series, and boy oh boy didn’t it pay off. The final punch down the ground by Pant has to be one of the best cricketing memory for me if not the best.

That one shot of pujara staring back at Hazelwood shows that he is more gladiator than cricketer... Nothing but pure guts... Respect and salutations... What a warrior

W Sundar and S Thakur partnership was one of the key reasons for India's 4th test win in Gabba

Bharat Arun The Underrated Bowling Coach Selected Such Key Players As Net Bowlers Who Were Also Capable Of Playing As Frontline Bowlers. 💯 Once again TOP level narration he took us back to the Historic series 🔥✔️

I as many of us feel so lucky and proud to have witnessed "The greatest test series ever played in cricket history" This is the memory I would like to share with my children and Grand-children.... Haven't watched it yet but surely excited for the series

Don't ever drop Pujara from the test side please. He is a pure class batsman, everyone has bad times, he had too but the grit, the determination and the passion for test cricket that he has is truly appreciable. Also, its amazing how two friends (Pant and Gill) who had promised to each other the night before the final day at the Gabba that they have to win the test at any cost, kept their promises were the top scorers in that innings. It truly felt like a whole movie script. This series was probably on par with the Ashes 2005 considering the amount of hardships that the Indian team had to face. Greatest series of all time for me.

Dear sir, Just like every other little boy in india, I also wanted to be a cricketer when I grew up.(before the cruelty of reality set in). Still i fought to play cricket (with my parents) and bleed to play cricket( some on the field but mostly at my parents hand for wasting time ). I keenly remember 2003 world cup final. Despite knowing India lost the final early on, watching till the last wicket hoping that the tailenders will somehow perform a miracle and win us the cup. I cried all night for the loss and got fever. (Sheer stupidity and how I wish to be that stupid once again) . And in 2011 world cup, how i mad I got when Sri Lankans celebrated their 1st innings score like they have already won the cup and sheer joy I felt when dhoni hit that six. To celebrate the win, I snuck out of my home in the middle of the night despite preparing for my 12th standard board exams. And playing cricket in between the board exams, and teachers coming to the ground to chase us out. Those are some of the happiest moments of my life. I no longer watch cricket. The drudgery of life has defeated the magic of cricket. But Your videos somehow takes me back to my childhood . I cant thank you enough for that. So Thank you. Please keep doing what u are doing.

This match was something more than just a win! The feeling is just undescribable.....So is your narration and the quotes you've written ✨ 👍👍! Exceptional!!!

I got Goosebumps so many times in whole documentary but didn't get at the end and the main reason was commentary i wish there was hindi commentary like "Tuta hei gaaba ka ghamand..."

What a phenomenal narration 🔥

As an Indian in Australia, this was the sweetest victory one could ever imagine. It will forever be etched in my memory where I was when we breached the Gabba fortress.

Those who watched the actual series , they could well relate to each and every scene you showed up here ☺

Goosebumps...i saw the entire series, and makes me push harder, push harder till i die. This is glorious, and never shall be forgotten. Jai hind. Bharat mata ki jai

7:22 watched the whole last day and when we won it was a moment of goosebumps

I thought I knew cricket, but man, I was wrong. Your channel finally taught me cricket through the stories. I owe you so much!

“This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.” it is what I felt when Ashwin and Hanuma Vihari stood all day on the ground , eventually drawing the match, which could no less be a victory for them. The fourth test match which was held in The Gabba goes down in history as the best test victory of all time for India. The last episode - ‘License to Kill’ (which was the best) showed how a team of steel-willed young men took down the fortress of The Gabba, exemplifying the spirit of fighting back. After watching this series it assured me that no other form of cricket can replace the wisdom of Test Cricket.

I still get goosebumps everytime for just thinking that particular series...pure inspirational stuff this is 🔥🔥🔥

Your description gives me goosebumps. My school days when emotional drama in cricket was just too much to bear

As Harsha Bhogle would recall "it's for the ages"...I literally cry whenever I revisit the highlights of that series...it was not a game of cricket. It was perfect demonstration of life and its complexities. I don't think any sporting battle in the history of sports could even come close to what we have witnessed in that series. The up's and down's, the joy, sorrow, tension, stress it offered everything. I feel teachers of every discipline on any universities round the world should cite example of this series while teaching about life's up's and down's and how to win when life has cornered you on every front.. its hands on explanation of what sheer determination and will power could do....

Amazing Narration, just missed the Siraj's 5 wicket haul story and emotions after he lost his father!!!

You my guy are the best storyteller I have come across on this platform. Everytime I listen you gives me chills and as a speaker you provide that feeling that never distracts me off your video. And your facts and research always pays off. That's the thing which makes you different from others. You have just set the bars higher for others bro. Hats off 🙌

I followed the whole series! That winning feeling was not less than winning a World Cup! ❤

Brother 1 question I'd like you to answer, people argue that India won BGT 2021 because it rotated and played about 20 players whereas Australia didn't face so many injuries and had the same players who got tired, while India had fresh legs and bodies coming in. Neeraj Pandey is a superb director, his narration style is just brilliant A Wednesday, Special 26, Baby, MS Dhoni Untold Story, Special OPS all of them (except Aiyaary) have some undeniable power of narration. Kudos to him. But personally when I was watching the test series in Jan 2021, from the 1st day of the 3rd test, I was saying Draw.. Draw.. Draw and the way Pant played almost felt like a fairytale and then Ashwin Vihari pulling that off roaring back just chills 🔥 Little did I know Pant had shown us the trailer to the big picture in the 3rd test. Memorable series.

Give me a chance to rewind time and watch a game, It wont be the 2011 WC but the Sydney Test. Incredible Match, Excellent Story Great Documentary and nice observations specially over that Run out and that Psysche monologue

Sometimes when you feel low you can re-watch the amazing test match to get the energy flow through your body , it was succha amazing test match

What an incredible test series it was! Long live Test cricket. Thank you Team India & Australia for giving us the best series ever.

Every moment since Kohli run out was chilling and momentous out of those many I really liked 3rd test stand between Ashwin and vihari, celebration of shardul for siraj 5-fier and just Sundar flicking bloody Pat Cummins on leg side to me that sealed the deal for that match because after gill and Rohit got out Indian innings was slow paced and only pant and rahane showed aggression but till Sundar came to crease match was perfectly balanced it could have gone either ways mostly favouring aussies as they need one main wicket of pant but man after that stroke from Sundar aussies faces looked like some force had taken their soul away from their body

The rise of Lord Siraj: Remember he lost his father in between the series once they landed down under. Instead of flying back home, he stayed back with the team. Some would lost their senses when they lost their loved ones, he held himself back and stayed strong, he hasn't had a dull performance for the the National side since then. He lead the pace attack with the experience of just 3 matches. Thats simply commendable.

This series will always give goosebumps..... ❤️

You know what i might be the literally living under a rock because i only got to know about this series this week .... wo bhi after watching a random Insta account posting reels of this show. And in just a week i have watched it 3 times! What an amazing documentry. And yes the end seems missing something.... but it was a wonderful work and does justice to most epic experience imy entire life.

I haven't watched the series yet. But from an awesome description from a purely amazing cricket lover like you states that the series must be a masterpiece !!!

You forgot Paine and Ashwin's conversation about Gabba😂

I downloaded voot just to watch this........the best of cricket ever played...every nation the whole universe will remember forever

Brother! If you want more insights on this! You have to watch Ash's channel and his vlog with coach sridhar..! Those episodes are gems

One thing we'll have to accept - Pujara played like a warrior that day

Why don't you make the documentery, you have a great story telling skills, I love the way, how you explain it, you should do cricket documentaries.

The partnership by Vihari and Ashwin was the best I have seen in last 4-5 years....

Kohli coming back from the series was the beat gift.

The webseries was really good because of the "stories" which were going outside the ground.⚡

I really liked how the series ended, Players commenting and giving their views about other players, especially Rahane calling Rohit Nautanki. It made me smile after almost crying.

One of the greatest series one of the greatest display of courage determination and power of will. Thank you Indian team for giving me story to be motivate myself and to tell my children's 😁

'टूटा है गाबा का घमंड' 'बॉर्डर गावस्कर ट्रॉफी जायेगी गावस्कर के देश' ❤️🙌

Long live test cricket ❤❤❤❤ you can bring T20, T10, T5, nothing will top Test format!!! The story, the attitude, the resilience, the fighback , the suuden collapse & the sudden rise that we get to see in Test you will never get to see it in any other format 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

That series win is the outcome of IPL Talent acquisition and sheer dedication for win

Ashwin and kohli is known to be dangerous. But i absolutely loved ashwin and rahane combo

I just love the way you are narrating .... Thanks for these ....

So so so so well done...The documetary was amazing...I rewatched it lately. Still as beautiful as ever

As far as I know this is the best cricket commentary channel I’ve ever come across with. You’re good at this. Keep entertaining

Though Bandon mein tha dum did a very good job. I really want to see Amazon Prime's version of this. I want to hear more from Aussie cricketers and Justin Langer. The scenes from the dressing room and their reactions.

Come to Gabba they said. Rest is history.

It was the best cricket series i have watched with my eyes. I remember on the last day of Gabba test i was not even taken a bath nor done the breakfast but that match was the perfect one to end a legendary test like this and watching this web series i remember that day and got goosebumps

The Miracle Down Under. The underrated captain Rahane. The underrated bowling coach Bharat Arun. Injuries to the key players. Ashwin, Rohit and Bumrah part of the core leadership. Ajinkya Rahane proving himself to be a true leader in this memorable series with his calm, mature, inclusive leadership style. Young, untested players like Siraj doing their country proud. Pujara standing like a rock. Winning against All Odds. Finally we are talking about the cricket team. Not being obsessed with one great player.

Wonderful video by you. Yes, that series was the best ever played by any Indian cricket team.

This series deserves a book. May sound trite, but truth is stranger than fiction.

One of the great innings ever played on the 22 yards... Fall in love with test cricket you will never regret !

The whole series was amazing.. but if they had added Vivek Razdan's commentary of "toota hai Gabba ka ghamand" when Rishabh scored the finishing runs it would be a cherry on the top but nevertheless it was quite enjoyable...

Before this series I Never watched a test match,I thaught it was boring but after the last match,this line "ki tuta he gabba ka ghamand" by the Hindi commentator got stuck into my head and at that moment I realized the value of test cricket....

The Paddy Upton monologue....🔥🙌🏼💙🇮🇳

That series was one of the most iconic series victory in Indian cricket history 🇮🇳🇮🇳 As I remember i went to college for some academic work during the last session of that Gabba test All I saw that everyone in a group was sticked to their phones watching the match live with that exitment as it was a World cup final and the moment Pant punched the ball over the boundary everyone just cheered screamed and celebrating like anything as of we won the world cup Me to was just in a immese rage of what our boy's have done down under 🔥🔥

Tears are gushing from my eyes..

Still remember reading articles before the match saying, "they should just try to draw the match and the series".

Love your talk man❤️ I relived the entire series 💗💞

great video and who agrees with me that Virat's 71st was in that match

2 epic test wins for india against australia: 1 is 2001 kolkata test break 15 test wins streak and 2 is Gabba breach both teams are young india🔥

When Ashwin said he will be my 8nwickets in 4 tests, i really was awestruck with my follicles standing up with goosebumps

I still remember your videos on this series. Watching this documentary was like reliving those moments except for the end as you mentioned. Yet thats one series that shows Indian Cricket prowess and the young Indians attitude supported by the seniors. Hope young Indians (including me) cam show this kind of grit in our professional life.

This series is just a masterpiece , neeraj pandey did it again he is just a genius genius director.

The test: the new era of Australia ashes test. Was also a amazing and masterpiece documentary coverered, by amazon prime video. That was more of a intense, grasping, showed how they went to the ashes. Itt Wass masterpiece. But here the bandon me tha dum, little bit of intellectual insight but more of a emotional drama, here I know that Ganguly once said we Indian don't want show our insights, table talks, tacklings,batsmen mind insight, bowler secret moves and etcetera. But Ashwin is something, after retirement he should be on board, he know how to play mind games, intensive intellectual. They said he watched 500 hours of Smith baiting, that's how he got analysed Smith how he gonna moves..thats the level of preparedness. Pujji paajji, your mental strength, hands down. You just devasted bowlers, took ball on body, its something. Defence, defence and defence, the bowlers deteroiites and aussies says never mess with Indians. Ajinkya rahane the day he out virat kohli, he completely devasted by that. But next time jadeja make him run out and jaddu bowed down and said sorry, but here ajinkya rahane just said don't worry just play the games, be in the process, that's how captain balance, besides if virat would have done that the game would havee diff. But everyone has get their own way. But rahane, hats off to you, you took the trophy, that's the pride Moment and we must say the test was memorable. 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

If there is mastermind of cricket who still plays, it has to be Ravi Ashwin. The way he understands the game, the situation and what's going on in opponents' mind is just too brilliant and his strategies are hardly wrong. He never revealed anything that may lead to his stategies or how Indian team plays and what's ge sctual planning, keeping in mind, this clip is to go publicly viral, that's constant vigilance.

That last boundary by Rishabh Pant will be remembered forever.....

Proud moment for all Indian

What a LEGENDARY series it was from the Dogs of Adelaide to the Gods of Gabba

Two most underrated knocks by Indian batsman.. One is Gambhir' 97 in world cup final and Gill's 91 in the 4th historic match in Gabba

The most underrated inning you missed to describe was Shubham's 97 it would have been one of greates ton overseas if had done it

Yeah you are right about Ash he knows speaking, but goes silent when he underperforms, which is quite often, like the T20 world cup, the test series overseas etc. He comes back to speaking whenever he wins matches at home or against weaker teams.

really i am not a big fan cricket but the way u describes about a scene ur narration really awesome which make me not to skip even a single video of yours

It never mattered to me if You Win or Loose against Pakistan. My concern is always don't loose to Australia. And to dominate Australia in Australia in test matches after that 36 run nightmare. It was stuff of dreams. Aswin gained my respect for lifetime. Vihari and Aswin actually faught a last stand battle. It felt like they were up against a garrison. Huge respect.

Just love the way how u narrate such incredible stories increases the love of the game

You know I'm surprised that I'm not the only one to pray that Ashwin gets into the commentary box once he hangs up the boots. But have you imagined what phenomenal bowling mentor he'd be?

Also the mindset of Rishabh pant in the Sydney test episode "A draw is a draw and a win is a win" 👐👐

I was watching this match live while i was traveling to kargil having network issues and winning shot we where exactly on kargil bridge and i started shouting India India 😃😍 it was goosebumps moment beating those on Gabba 😍

wow man... I will surely comeback and write my review after watching this Doc. !!!

Toota gaaba ki gamand...... Still in my ear's 🔥🔥🔥

Amazon prime The Test based on Australia cricket team is hands down the best docuseries on cricket

The Webseries was so much better than the commentary from SG or Murali Karthik. Honestly the way Pujara undeterred facing the barrage of Aussie fast bowling, Rahane’s super focused batting, Hanuma and Ashwin going thru the injuries and still staying and defending till the end and then Lord Thakur, Washy and Pant with the counter punches at the Gabba . This Webseries was really exemplary with amazing direction from Neeraj Pandey and narration from Jimmy Shergill . Simply top class👌🏼

Nice story . It gave me goosebumps 👌

Tim Paine's frustration is visible everytime he pin points the restaurant incident of Indian players. The way each and every shred of Australian soil was knitting the mind games including media and government, exactly tells us what transpired the indian team.

The best test series ever ! The best test cricket India has ever played !

The series win after virat leaving team india.. shows what mindset the team he did put in

So true sir.... Best cricketing webseries I have every watch

My fav part of the video is Yuvraj singh when you said incredibly ferocious

that look of pujara speaks a lot..thanks for sharing such wondeful clips

Great going on buddy, I never miss out watching your content whenever it drops. You have a knack for story telling which is really admirable!🔥

Things about this series it like a unrealistic dream, but all that happened was real, I still hanged the cutoff of TOT newspaper in my room

appreciate the fact that you point to the failure in Virat's captaincy and highlight how the small gestures make a better leader. I have never been a believer in the Virat MC BC brand of cricket. Indian cricketers were always the dignified ones. We can win without necessarily speaking like Punjabi rap stars. Ajinkya embodied the Indian spirit and him leading definitely got the best out of the team. Whatever the Kohli fanboys might say. This is my assessment and truth for me.

This series story will be told by us to our grandchildren......

Love all your work which I have seen till date. Keep going :)

Bhai tum maidaan me hone jaisa feel kara dete hoi... Gajab ka narrate karte ho

It was a great documentary. I was expecting a documentary to be made on this series just because of the twists and tales it had which makes it one of the greatest Series in recent times. The only series that comes close or win the battle of the best series in recent times is THE ASHES 2019.

I just watched this masterpiece ❤️ It's amazing Hat's off to Niraj Pandey and voot team 🇮🇳
