Five most unforgettable moments in Indian cricket history

#5 Dinesh Karthik's last ball six to seal Nidahas Trophy 2018

It was all but a neighboring affair in which Sri Lanka Cricket board had invited its neighbors to play in Nidahas Trophy to celebrate Sri Lanka's 70th year of Independence. All the three teams looked equally strong and competitive on the field but it was Bangladesh that caused a major upset knocking hosts Sri Lanka, to seal the spot in finals to play against India. It was a hard pill to swallow for the Sri Lankan fans as their team was not only defeated but also mocked by an infamous 'Nagin' celebration move from Bangladesh players.

Then came the finals and Sri Lankan fans turned up in huge numbers just to see India defeated Bangladesh to avenge their loss. It was pretty evident too- Sri Lankan fans cheering every run India scored and celebrating every boundary that came their way. It was almost going to be another heartbreaking day for the fans only to be saved by Dinesh Karthik heroics.

Dinesh Karthik pulled off a Javed Miandad with a last-ball six as India snatched the victory from the jaws of Bangladesh. Needing five off the final delivery, Karthik carted Soumya Sarkar over extra-cover as India held its nerve to chase down a target of 167 in 20 overs. Karthik’s contribution of 29 in just 8 balls was no less than a century in the context of the game which had two boundaries and three sixes —the last of them will forever be etched in the memory of every Indian fan.
