Dhoni becomes one of the greatest Indian captains. It was really good of Dhoni to promote himself up the order and come up with that knock in the final. His interview was very good though I think playing sreeshanth was a bad decision. Winning with a six – it doesn’t get better than this.
ReplyDeleteSachin on the winning side, Murali dreams end. What a match it was. We finally got our revenge from the 1996 Wills semi final.
