Exceptional display of batsmanship

Few things unite Indians better than cricket. In India cricket is religion and I am an ardent follower. If you want to strike a conversation with an Indian, try cricket - my guess is it will work.

There are fewer occasions in which I feel more elated than when the Men in Blue are on song. And on song they have been in the latest homeseries against SL. The third One Day International would be a match I remember for a long time and the reason for that is the new find in the Indian team M S Dhoni...

India successfully surprassed the mammoth total of 298 with delightful ease thanks to his efforts. The innings can be one of the best innings ever played in one day cricket and what makes it even more special was the fact that India was chasing and the pressure is much more higher than while setting the total.

However the lad from Jharkand kept it simple and tonked 10 sixes (the most by an Indian) and 15 fours and guided us to victory and now we lead 3-0 and one victory away from sealing the series.

The best written article "The wheel turns, and how" is a must read for a die-hard fan

I now wish that i bought the streaming video and had watched every ball of the run-chase but now its too late. I can see the recorded video but it will never be the same as watching the ODI Live!
