MS Dhoni revived his World Cup heroics to belt India to victory in Adelaide last night. India needed 13 off the last over then 12 from four balls but Dhoni spanked Clint McKay (3/53) out of Adelaide Oval from the third ball to relieve the pressure. Dhoni was then caught off a no-ball on the boundary McKay but hurry through from two and then elegant off the total next ball to deliver an unforgettable four wicket victory with two balls remaining. India finished 6/270 with Dhoni undefeated on 44 from 58 balls and Ravi Ashwin on 1.
Left-arm spinner Xavier Doherty (2/51) had put the brakes on India in the penultimate over luring out Jadeja (12) and conceding just four runs. Australia tinkered with its winning formula and flopped while Sachin Tendulkar's rest proved a blessing in disguise as India lastly ended injury-hit Michael Clarke's golden run in Adelaide.
However turning its back on cricket's electronic eye almost cost India a breakthrough victory against Clarke this summer and first one-day win against Australia in Adelaide with top scorer Gautam Gambhir (92) fired out to lbw shocker in favour of clutch seamer Clint McKay. Rohit Sharma (33) departed to a wanton shot just as India had sidelined Australia in the contest after putting on 76 with Gambhir.
