The three of them mattered the most when the team needed them. Sachin scored vital half-centuries in the knockouts. He scored 53 in the quarterfinals against Australia which set up a good platform for India's run chase. He then went on to score 85 in the semifinal against arch-rivals Pakistan. In the same event, he had also completed 99 International centuries. Zaheer Khan was very outstanding in India's tied group game against England by getting rid of captain Andrew Strauss, Ian Bell and Paul Collingwood. He also bowled three maidens in the final against Sri Lanka. Yuvraj grabbed the spotlight with his abilites with the bat, ball and on the field at a time when he was not in the best of health. His half-centuries in the games against Ireland and Netherlands bailed India out of trouble. He scored a match-winning century and was also among the wickets in the last group game against West Indies. His unbeaten 57 in the quarterfinals ended Australia's 12-year reign as World Champions. He was out for a golden duck in the semis against Pakistan but made up with the ball by sending back Asad Shafiq and Younus Khan.
