What an innings by Yuvraj, he started of like a broken autorickshaw but finished off like a Ferrari. His innings of 131 included 10 fours and 7 hits over the rope, and took only 102 balls. The crucial phase came when India took the batting power play and Gayle brought his best bowler Taylor into the attack. But Yuvraj tore into him as well.
But all was not good for Yuvraj at the start of the innings. He started of slowly but at the other end Dinesh Karthik was scoring freely and that took the pressure of him. The story of Gambhir and Rohit was same as T20 World Cup, both got out to bouncers again. Dhoni batted slowly again, and it was left to Yusuf and Bhajji to up the ante in the death overs.
Another pleasing thing for India from this match was the ‘injured man’ Ashish Nehra. He bowled well and picked up 3 crucial wickets. In Zaheer’s absence he has to play the role of the experienced fast bowler and he did that nicely today.
