Occasion: India vs Bangladesh, Nidahas Trophy Final, Colombo 2018
Equation: 34 off 12 balls
Mustafizur Rahman had just bowled an outstanding 18th over that resulted in a solitary run and a prize wicket of Manish Pandey. The equation was down to 34 runs of the remaining 12 legitimate deliveries and India required a messiah to procure them out the hole they've dug for themselves thanks to some insipid batting in the lead up to the death overs. In walks Dinesh Karthik.
Karthik brought all of his experience to the crease as he teed into Rubel Hossain, who kept it full and the vile batsman obliged with two sixes over his head coupled with a paddle sweep to reduce the equation down to 12 of the last over. Shankar's misery ended on the fifth delivery of the final over leaving Karthik with 5 runs to get off the last ball.
The magnanimity of the situation got to Somya Sarkar as he dished out a wide delivery outside off-stump for Karthik to strike it over extra cover to pull off a sensational heist for the Men in Blue.
