#2 Dhoni’s unsuccessful struggle

The captain cool MS Dhoni saved India many times in the crisis. It was the year 2009 when India was chasing a big total against West Indies and lost 8 wickets only at 82 runs. India was struggling to score even 100 runs mark.

#3 Sachin’s furious ton in 2007

The year 2007 was not a great year for Indian cricket. It was the time West Indies team was traveling to India and both the teams were in bad form. Sachin Tendulkar was batting at 4th position and his position other than opener was never imagined.

In the match number 4 at Vadodara, India was in a strong position. Sachin did the incredible partnership with Rahul Dravid and then with MS Dhoni.  India scored a total of 341 runs in the match. The little master scored 100 runs with just 76 deliveries and destroyed West Indies bowling line up.
