Who was responsible for India’s thrilling win yesterday?

Question

Even though a game is usually won by efforts of the team together, sometimes some players just stand out with their performance. Who could this win be attributed to?

Answer 1

BCCI...?

Answer 2

Well, I think Harbhajan bowled brilliantly and, of course, he also batted beautifully. And yes, you can´t take the credit away from Tendulkar, as well, because he also helped his team to reach a respectable, he batted for 1st 2, 3 hours, and that too, when everyone was just walking back. It was really unfortunate the way he was gone.
But still, it wasn´t the total which you could defend easily, so, that required some effort from the bowlers, and they did it.

I don´t think that, India only won because Lara came down the order, along with Gayle.
He said early in the morning, that they would give their young players a chance to bat, ahead of the Final.

Rawal.

Answer 3

Though I quite agree that yesterday's win cannot be fully attributed to team effort, let us assess the match before jumping to conclusion. Out of India's total of 162 runs, 65 runs were scored by Sachin Tendulkar and 37 Runs were scored by Harbajan Singh. Thus rest of the players contributed only 60 runs to the team total. As far as bowling is concerned, though Harbajan took 3 wickets, the contribution of other bowlers like
Munaf Patel, Sreesant, Agarkar and also R.P. Singh should not
be neglected. When West Indies were battng smoothly, it was Munaf Patel who provided the breakthrough. Then Sreesant and Agarkar also contributed towards the downfall of West Indies. Thus full credit for yesterday's win should be given to the Bowlers and dont forget contribution of Tendulkar too.

However, the man who excelled in batting and bowling which lead the path for Indian victory is no doubt Harbajan Singh, who has been rightly declared MAN OF THE MATCH

Answer 4

if u ask for one man then it must be Bhajji because he was second highest run scorer and highest wicket taker for india in that match

but if we decide to extend the list a bit then few more i would add APART from bhajji

1.Sachin Tendulkar-- Excellent display of patience and highest quality batting out of all 22 batsmen from that match

2.Ajit Agarkar--He was best bowler for india in that match with
10 overs 22 runs and 2 wickets which was such a relief for dravid as he bowled alomost like macgrath( even bhajji gave 43 runs in his 10 overs which is very costly in such low scoring game)

3.Munaf,Shreeshanth,R.P.-- All bowled well specially munaf for striking first and shreeshanth for striking last because those are the difficult once psycologically

4.Coach chapple-- Because when india bowled first 10 overs before the lunch break no wicket fell and WI were set for big victory. But at break team went inside and came out as different team which had a plan and will to win.So some credit goes to person that transform them

5.Lara-- Gayle's no 6 is understandable but once WI were 5 down i think lara should have come.there is limit for experimentations and he crossed it

Answer 5

It was a collective effort from the team India. WI or Lara was thinking that the target is too small for them so he opted to go out.

Our bowlers bowled brilliantly and fields were too cautious. Everyone performed well in the field. Although for the sake of Man of the Match we can say it as a performance of Bhajji but we can't forget the early break through given by Munaf and the last wicket taken by Sree Santh.

So to sum up "a brilliant team work" do wonders!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Harbhajan and Tendulkar was mostly responsible for this win and some pure luck of Indian guys. Lara coming at No. 7 was a key factor. He can take away the game from Indian's hand if he had a supportive hand on the other side.

Answer 7

We cannot give the credit to one man.

It's an true team effort.

B'coz despite the low score that we acheived in batting our Indian bowlers did not loose their confidence and our Indian fielders in the other hand proved very worthy.

Also we have to appreciate Sachin for his 65 and also Bahji Harbajan for his very worthy 78 run partnership with sachin which helped us to put an total taht we were able to defend.

As the case is Harbajan was awarded the man of the match.

We should also be get happy of the current return of Sachin in this tour b'coz after a long gap in International cricket he is proving his capability.

Also our Captain Dravid should also get the credit for the field placements that he kept and his capability in making the bowlers gain their confidence is main thing.
