In a tri-series final against Sri Lanka at the Queen's Park Oval, India were chasing 202. They were sailing with ease at one stage with the scoreboard reading 139/3 in 32 overs.

But on a tough track, wickets fell one after the other with Rangana Herath picking up 4 wickets. India, from a commanding position, were now in need of 17 runs from 2 overs with Ishant Sharma, the last Indian batsman on the crease with MS Dhoni.

Fortunately for India, Sharma survived the penultimate over with India now needing 15 from the last six balls. Shaminda Eranga was the Sri Lankan bowler with Dhoni on strike. Dhoni missed the first ball and then as always, finished the game with a bang.

The second one went for a six with the next two balls going for two fours. Dhoni just smiled after taking India over the finishing line and winning yet another trophy.
