order and played a match-winning knock of 91 in 79 balls to give India their

cricket fans.

opt to bat first, Gautam Gambhir held the strings and scored
a solid 75-run innings at the top to guide India to a honest total of 157 runs.
Pakistan's batting order detained their stitches together
and Misbah-ul-Haq's 43 from 38 balls was crucial to take Pakistan close.
But Dhoni's call to give Joginder Sharma the last over prove
to the masterstroke that gave India a 5-run victory and the Men in Blue scooped

2013 CHAMPIONS TROPHY
India were on a run riot in the 2013 Champions Trophy in
England. They reached the final after winning all of their four matches.
MS Dhoni's young group was up against the hosts England in
the final and put to bat first, India managed to put a 129 runs on the board in
20 overs with Virat Kohli being their highest scorer with 43 runs.
Bowling to England, India selected up wickets at regular
intervals as Dhoni's sharp bowling rotations enabled Ravichandran Ashwin,
Ravindra Jadeja and Ishant Sharma to pick two wickets each.
With such an effort, India were able to hold England to 124
in 20 overs and won the championship by 5 runs.
MS Dhoni, the only captain to have won all the ICC trophies,
controlled from saying 'All the best' to the girls saying he's superstitious.
