India had snatched the T20 World Cup trophy from Pakistan, their breath was stuck in the last over, MS Dhoni…

New Delhi. 24 September. This is the same date when India won the T20 World Cup for the first time. The year was 2007. In the final of the T20 World Championship played in South Africa, MS Dhoni’s Team India faced neighbouring Pakistan. The first match of the tournament between the two teams was a tie, which India won in a bowl-out. In such a situation, a tough match was expected in the final and the same happened. The end of this dream final had immersed India in celebration…

Gautam Gambhir-Rohit Sharma’s stormy innings
In this match played in Johannesburg, India batted first and scored 157 runs for 5 wickets. The current coach of the Indian team then played an innings of 75 runs in the final. Gambhir was the top scorer of Team India while the current captain Rohit Sharma was the fastest player to score 30 runs. he/she scored 30 runs in just 16 balls in the final. Overall, India made such a score, which, if not huge, was certainly not small.

Unique Records: World Cup, T20 match, double century… male cricketers lagged behind women’s cricket forever

Pakistan lost 7 wickets for 104 runs
Pakistan’s team, which came to play the reply innings, lost wickets at regular intervals. 7 of its batsmen returned to the pavilion by the time 104 runs were scored. But Misbah-ul-Haq stood firm. This batsman made a good partnership with the tail-enders and took the match till the last over. When the last over started, Pakistan needed 13 runs to win and India needed one wicket.

Joginder Sharma bowled the last over
MS Dhoni gave the last over of the final to Joginder Sharma. Joginder bowled the first ball wide. No runs were scored on the next ball. In this way, now Pakistan needed 12 runs from 5 balls to win. Then Misbah hit a six. With this six, the heartbeat of Indian fans increased. Fans with weak hearts started gasping for breath. But cricket is known for such matches.

Misbah made the biggest mistake of his/her career
Misbah-ul-Haq made a mistake at the point where Pakistan’s victory seemed certain. At that time, Pakistan needed 6 runs from 4 balls to win. Misbah was not only at the crease after scoring 43 runs, but he/she also had the strike. But he/she probably did not trust his/her partner Mohammad Asif. That is why he/she wanted to score all the runs himself. In this attempt, Misbah-ul-Haq played a scoop on the third ball of Joginder Sharma. This was a risky shot, which was not wise to play in the last over of the final. This risk of Misbah-ul-Haq proved to be the biggest mistake of his/her career. The ball went to S. Sreesanth standing at fine leg, who caught it easily. India was now the champion. The first champion of the first T20 World Cup.
