During the Sri Lankan innings, the partnership for the fourth wicket between Mahela Jayawardene and Thilan Samaraweera had reached 52. Yuvraj Singh was bowling the 39th over of the innings. The first ball of the over hit Samaraweera on the pads and Yuvraj Singh asked Simon Taufel for an LBW but the umpire ruled it not out. Yuvraj Singh was stunned at umpire's decision and was sure about the dismissal.

An optimistic Yuvraj turned to MS Dhoni to ask a review for this but Dhoni did not look convinced as well. After a consultation with a confident Yuvraj Singh, Dhoni decided to take a review and it came in India's favour. Yuvraj's self-belief brought a huge wicket for India. It was the crucial moment in the game as Sri Lanka lost another wicket in the next over as Zaheer Khan dismissed Chamara Kapugedera for just 1.
