Joginder Sharma 41st Birthday: MS Dhoni is till now the most successful captain in the history of Indian cricket. Under the captaincy of Dhoni, Team India won two World Cups and one Champions Trophy. Team India won the first T20 World Cup in 2007 under the captaincy of Dhoni. In the final of this World Cup against Pakistan, MS Dhoni took such a risk that the whole world went crazy about him.
Dhoni gave the last over to young fast bowler Joginder Sharma, who was playing only the fourth T20 International match of his career. Joginder Sharma is celebrating his 41st birthday today. At present, former Indian fast bowler is DSP in Haryana Police.
Dhoni took a big risk on Joginder Sharma
In the T20 World Cup final, Pakistan needed 13 runs to win in the last over. Even though the Pakistan team had lost 9 wickets, experienced batsman Misbah-ul-Haq was present at the crease. Joginder bowled the first ball wide. Then the next ball was dotted. After this, Misbah, who was present at the crease, took advantage of his experience and hit a six on the second ball of the over.
After hitting a six on the second ball, Pakistan needed only 6 runs in 4 balls to win. Then on the next ball, mastermind Dhoni did something amazing which no one had expected. Misbah wanted to play a scoop shot on the third ball of the over. As soon as Misbah played the shot, Dhoni signaled Sreesanth for a catch and then Sreesanth took the catch and gave victory to Team India. In this way, Dhoni's risk and Joginder Sharma's over led Team India to victory. The thing to note is that Joginder Sharma played the last match of his T20 International career through this final.
