The Real Team India!!
I need not mention, what happened yesterday, to those, who saw the yesterday match, but to those who were unlucky enough to miss it, let me tell them that, The monday was purely team India day!!
A brilliant start by Irfan Pathan in the first over itself (that was the exact copy of 2nd match), and then the brilliant spells by RP singh and Sachin, though there were three catches dropped, all on the bowling of S.Sreesanth (poor chap) and a century by Shoaib Malik, lead Pakistan to a respected total!
But what can they do with Sachin Tendulkar, who smashed 95 off 104 balls and built the foundation of the win!
Tendulkar, dropped on 36 when Kamran Akmal failed to get a leg-side glance off Umar Gul, took India to 189 before cutting Abdul Razzaq straight to substitute Imran Frahat at point.
Tendulkar hit 16 boundaries and a six during his 104-ball knock.
But after two quick wickets of Sachin and Kaif, it was smell of danger somewhere, till MS Dhoni arrived! It was due to him and Yuvraj that India was able to win the 3rd match of the five ODI series! Dhoni was simply superb (72 off 46 balls), and was rightly given the man of the match!
Now that was team India (and Dhoni) at its Best!
