SK Flashback: When India defied the odds to humble South Africa at Johannesburg

#5 A horrendous batting power-play

Dhoni was bowled by Tsotsobe

It’s termed as a batting power-play, which was more of a temptation for batsmen to pick the bones out of everything and also an opportunity for bowlers to disturb any sort of momentum for the batting side.

The batting power-play was taken in the 41^st over with MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina in the firing line. To India’s dismay, Suresh Raina was trapped plumb in front in the opening delivery of the power-play.

The power-play turned from bad to worse as they lost their skipper M.S. Dhoni through an inside-edge and on to the wickets. Rohit Sharma and Harbhajan Singh followed suit and India’s batting power-play painfully ended for 14 runs at the cost of five wickets.
