Perfect timing by MS Dhoni

The India captain certainly can't be blamed for not having a sense of occasion or timing, and he stepped up on the biggest stage of all

  The back-foot punch was MS Dhoni's most favoured shot and helped keep the required rate in check

MS Dhoni had just sent the Wankhede Stadium into delirium by upper-cutting Thisara Perera for a six over point. That made it 37 required off 41, with six wickets in hand and the World Cup in sight. He dabbed the next ball towards point, took a couple of steps and stopped, and then hared across, realising Yuvraj Singh had come too far down. The single was completed, everything seemed all right, but Dhoni smashed his pad with his bat. The thud was so loud it could be heard from near the sightscreen, despite all the noise from the stands, where the crowd was going crazy.
