5 most emotional moments in cricket

#1 India vs Pakistan, 2007 T20 World Cup Final

Dhoni celebrates India's triumph

A story which has shaped the present and future of Indian Cricket. This win signaled the beginning of the Dhoni era, the start of T20 leagues around the world, and changed the modern day game as we know it.

Gautam Gambhir top-scored for India with a well compiled 75 and set Pakistan a target of 158 runs to win. Pakistan's chase seemed to have gotten off to a great start before Irfan Pathan's match-winning spell put brakes on the run chase. That is when skipper Misbah-Ul-Haq decided to put his hand up and show the world how it was done. He almost single-handedly took Pakistan to victory, before suffering a brain fade in the final over to hand India the cup.

What if Misbah hadn't played the "dil-scoop" and finished the game in Pakistan's favour? Would Dhoni have captained India in the future? Would Pakistan have been able to sell T20 cricket to the world the way that India did with the IPL? World cricket could have been entirely different today if Misbah had connected with that one shot. We will never know.
