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

#1 Munaf Patel’s final nail in South Africa’s coffin

Patel bowled an incredible last over

The game had come all the way down to the wire with both teams fighting tooth and nail to sneak pass the finishing line; it couldn’t have got any better. South Africa stood at three runs to win and India required a solitary wicket to draw level in the series.

Lonwabo Tsotsobe, after his heroics with the ball, now was in with the role of supporting Wayne Parnell. He picked up the most valuable single of his entire career as he turned the strike over to let Parnell face the music.

Crushing the Proteas’ expectations, Munaf Patel snapped up Parnell, handing them a defeat by a solitary run. A delivery that had boundary written all over it went straight into the palms of India’s safest fielder in Yuvraj Singh.
