Team India made it in the end

When everyone had written off Team India at Bangalore against Bangladesh one man believed and achieved a narrow win. The last over finish is one more stamp on Dhoni’s captaincy as he did it in his own inimitable style. In the past he used to shine as a finisher with his own style of batting now did a magic by pressing the services of Hardik Pandya for the final fling just like he did in 2007 World cup T-20 final by introducing Joginder Sharma for the final over despite senior bowler Harbhajan Singh who had not finished his quota of overs against Pakistan. Both the moves paid rich dividends and Dhoni is a magician in the field of play. The young bowler Pandya stood out at the time of crisis and after conceding two fours came out with two wicket taking deliveries that turned the course of the match. Even though Ashwin was adjudged the man of the match for his vital break throughs, it was Pandya, who stole the limelight and made sure that Team India is in the fray for the rest of the tournament. It was total team work and Dhoni stood out as a great leader in his own way.
