When was last time Indian cricket team showed such intent for result in a test match?

Yes but NZ were not a bad team, I'd argue a top 3 ODI team at the time. We became top 2 only after Ganguly who backed the likes of Zaheer, Yuvraj, Kaif through the years!

They were not Top 3.  Top 3 sudes of the time were OZ, SA and PAK.

NZ were about the as strong as us. We beat them in 2003 CT and also in 2003 WC.

This is 2000 CT, we got much better under SCG post that CT campaign. This was his second major series as cap.

India needed 86 runs in 15 overs with 7 wickets in hand. MSD abandoned the chase 

Wickets in hand 7....thala for reason.

 

Jokes apart he was the biggest scam on Indian cricket in this millenia.

This was the game that I lost trust and passion for Indian cricket. I absolutely detested Dhoni after this test. This and our 4-0 test series losses in England and Australia where Dhoni kept playing same 11 with shhitiest bowling attack. 

And this scam would talk about some imaginary process while we kept losing.
