The winning team has a dedication. It will have a core of veteran players who set the standards. They will not accept defeat. And may be that’s what you can say about the Indian Twenty 20 team which conquered everyone’s hearts in yesterday’s match.
But for Yuvraj Singh – 6 sixes in a row! He was the king of kings in the field. Andrew Flintoff must have flipped out by Yuvraj’s reply to the cold fight between them. Though Yuvraj later commented that Flintoff was one of his very good friend and small fights do happen in the field, but it’s always wise to end it up within the field, we all know that it still had some effect.
Yuvraj set a new record of the fastest half century scored in an international match. 6 sixes back to back was not an easy task. There are some defeats more triumphant than victories. And so did his bad performance in bowling that had given a chance to Dimitri Mascarenhas to hit 5 sixes in a row forced him to give an answer this time. Now what do you call this Tit for Tat?
When asked Yuvraj said that he had a horrible feeling on during this bad performance for he was getting calls after calls by people complaining about his bad performance. He said he was waiting for a chance to reply. And the chance did come. Six sixes from a main bowler (Stuart Broad) was great indeed. The captain Dhoni said that sometime back he was asked whether Yuvraj was in the team just for bowling – but now he doesn’t have to answer that question.
For all the Indians that was a great package of sixes. Its become a hot topic to talk about till another such record is set.
