We all remember Irfan Pathan for his marvellous spell of
4–0–16–3. He was adjudged the Man of the Match in the finals.
Gautam Gambhir with a great knock of 75 was well appreciated
by critics and fans.
MS Dhoni who took a gamble with Joginder Sharma was applauded
for his extra-ordinary captaincy.
Let me shed some light onto another player.
At the end of 18th over, when Gautam Gambhir got out, the
Indian score was 130/5. With Yasir Arafat and Sohail Tanvir to bowl the next 2
overs, the Indian dugout might have wished for another 18 or 20 runs from the
next 12 deliveries.
But, Rohit Sharma faced 9 off the next 12 deliveries and
scored 24 runs, which helped India post a handy total of 157. The fact that
India won the match by 5 runs, shows us how important his innings was.
Rohit Sharma – 30 runs off 16 balls, 2 Fours, 1 Six was an
unsung hero to me.
