SK Flashback: When MS Dhoni deposited Clint McKay into the stands to stun Australia

Gambhir- The big fish

During the chase, Gautam Gambhir was effortlessly India’s mainstay at the crease while others played around him. A free-flowing knock wasn’t on show, but the runs flowed consistently from Gambhir’s willow that kept the Aussies at bay for a chunk of the innings.

He perished after scoring 92 runs that included a mere seven boundaries and never allowed a lean patch during the chase. Australian bowlers didn’t make it any easier for the opener as Gambhir took 47 singles in his innings.

Clint McKay trapped him in front of the wickets, but the innings was solid enough to leave India with a realistic opportunity of pulling off a win.
