Dil Dil India Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 We know Tendu got the MOTM in the final against Afridi and his overrated Pak side, but did he really deserve it with so many dropped chances and with such a slow strike rate? It was Sehwag's initial blitz and Raina's late finish that got India to a sub-par 260 and even that may not have been enough against any of the other top sides other than our western neighbors on what was a very flat deck. velu, Rasgulla, Laaloo and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment

MoM for India was Dhoni...for getting out cheaply and not giving us a sub par total with another specialist tuk tuk innings. MSD's strike rate of 59.52 was particularly riveting.

Bigg Brother Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Toss was crucial that day.. Dhoni was the MOM for SF for winning that crucial toss.Kudos to him for saying the right side of coin.Only He could have done that. Adi BB, Suhaan, mancalledsting and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Suhaan Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Raina ensured we reach 260 ,a total which was well beyond their reach,Pak has always felt the heat while chasing anything above 250,and it was a SF,so he ensured we feature the Finals on 2nd April ,2011 at Wankhede Rasgulla, Bigg Brother and velu 3 Link to comment

From 205-6 to 260,He ensured that India play out their full quota of overs and scored respectable 260..Crossing 250 was pyschological advantage that day. Raina was the Hero of QF,too..I miss those days,our batting line up in LOI was very strong and that sense of assurance while watching the match was altogether different which is missing now !!

JourneyMan Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) That tournament was a fielding masterclass for India, especially the knockout matches vs Aus and Pk. I reckon 20-30 runs were knocked off the total through good fielding alone. For fast batting and decent fielding, I think Raina is a worthy MoM for that SF match.

Vijy Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 could be raina, SRT or one of the bowlers. no single stand-out performer in my book. yes, SRT benefitted from a lot of dropped chances, but that's all down to the opposition. one can hardly fault him for making the most of his chances.

Nikhil_cric Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Misbah ul haq for his exceptionally good test innings. From our side , Sehwag. Gul was the bowler if the tournament coming into that match and Sehwag just absolutely trashed him to pieces and sent him packing. One helluva statement. That whirlwind start ensured that we managed a decent total on a rapidly slowing Mohali track against 2 chuckers and a guy generating reverse at 150. Chasing under lights was easier as the ball was coming on better due to dew and the outfield was quicker as well. Switchblade and AuxiliA 1 1 Link to comment
