Yuvraj Singh’s calm when leading India’s successful chase – and I bet he reminded the competitive Australians of a certain Michael Bevan – was obviously a standout feature at Motera on Thursday. Yet, Yuvraj Singh will be the first to point out that there was more to India’s victory than just his performance alone.
For instance, Mahendra Dhoni’s captaincy – be it his decision (in conjuction with fellow selectors) to retain Suresh Raina in the XI ahead of Yusuf Pathan, consequent to Virender Sehwag’s return or the bowling changes that he rung in – was top notch. The team’s fielding – so often criticised – was rung above the usual.
