How MSD Aced The Chase

Dhoni surprised one and all when he walked into bat ahead of Yuvraj Singh, which he later described as a ‘tactical’ call. India started their 275-run chase on a shaky note, losing Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag. Then Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir got things back on track with an 83-run stand. Once Kohli perished, Dhoni walked in and joined Gambhir and since then there was no looking back as the duo stitched a match-winning 109-run stand to take the side over the line. 

India won the game by 6 wickets and with 10 balls to spare. Dhoni was awarded the player of the match.
