After winning the T20 world cup, there was a feeling that our team has re-shaped as the best team in the world. But the one-day series against the world champions of one-day cricket is going to be the acid test for the team. The Australians asked many questions about the new Indian talents with their ball and bat.
With the lights of Sachin, Saurav and Dravid in Indian soil our team was expected to put a tough fight. But the things were different. The series was fully dominated by the two mighty Australian batsmen (Hayden and Symonds) and with the worst form ever in the career of great wall of India, the series loss becomes obvious.
With all these, the final match that happens in the Indian cricketing capital is only for entertainment with nothing to decide the way the series goes. India WINS !!!
Dhoni’s final words about the T20 match, “let’s hope for the best” with a confidence in his eyes.
The clock ticks 7 ‘O’ clock evening. The match starts. Australians won the toss and elected to bat. As usual Indian gave ample of runs except the only Indian bowler who took a hat-trick in test cricket against Australia. (Harbajan Sigh – 4-0- 17-1). They put up 166 on the board.
It’s not an easy asking for Indian batsmen. But the Indian batting led by Gambir with three other batsmen to follow, India wins the match convincingly. 
The strike bowler of Australia ‘Bret Lee’ went for more than 11 an over and the sixes from every one’s bat except Shewag tells the story how the Indians batted. Indians were marching towards the target with such a fabulous stroke play.
Six runs away from victory. Dhoni on strike… Lee to bowl… that’s SIX!!! Indians wins with great flat hit for a six from the Indian Captain MS Dhoni…
Though we last the one-day series, this win in T20 proves to the world that we are the real champions in this format. The Aussies will also accept this!!!
The sad part of this moment is ... I am in office at all these time :(
