Communication Skills-I

Notes
42.4 Randiv to Dhoni, no run, gets forward to deflect this to square-leg

42.5 Randiv to Dhoni, 1 run, goes back to a delivery he should have gone forward. And stabs in his
unique fashion. Not pretty but he has survived that danger
42.6 Randiv to Yuvraj Singh, 2 leg byes, drifts to the pads, Yuvraj misses a leg glance and picks up
couple of leg byes
End of over 43 (5 runs) India 232/4 (43 runs required from 42 balls, RR: 5.39, RRR: 6.14)
Yuvraj Singh 5* (6b 1x4) S Randiv 8-0-38-0
MS Dhoni 62* (65b 5x4) NLTC Perera 8-0-47-1
43.1 Perera to Dhoni, SIX, Six over point! Wankhede goes mental! It was the shortish delivery outside
off and Dhoni hopped, rode the bounce and played a superbly wicked cut over point. The white
ball kept fl ying
43.2 Perera to Dhoni, 1 run, Almost run out! It was jabbed, off bat and pad, to point and the ball rolled
to point. Yuvraj dashed across for the single, Dhoni took couple of steps and then stopped. He then
decided to rush across and boy did he rush or what? He makes it in time to beat the throw from
point
43.3 Perera to Yuvraj Singh, 1 run, leans forward to turn to the leg side for a single
43.4 Perera to Dhoni, no run, in the zone outside off and Dhoni jabs and stabs and the ball rushes past
the edge
43.5 Perera to Dhoni, no run, slower, on the middle, turned to midwicket. Yuvraj is standing on the
practice track close to the centre pitch! Not at the other end. Not damp there.
43.6 Perera to Dhoni, no run, short in length, extra bounce on that one and Dhoni adjusts to shove it to
cover
End of over 44 (8 runs) India 240/4 (35 runs required from 36 balls, RR: 5.45, RRR: 5.83)
MS Dhoni 69* (70b 5x4 1x6) NLTC Perera 9-0-55-1
Yuvraj Singh 6* (7b 1x4) S Randiv 8-0-38-0
44.1 Randiv to Yuvraj Singh, 1 run, .Dhoni escapes a run out chance. “Aa ja (come)” He said. It was his
call. Yuvraj had stabbed it to short third man region and Dhoni rushed across and seems to have
just about made it in time. Direct hit from Kapugedera. Dhoni’s bat has just about reached inside
the line
44.2 Randiv to Dhoni, 1 run, turns this through backward square-leg for a single
44.3 Randiv to Yuvraj Singh, no run, Sri Lanka go for the UDRS for a lbw appeal that was turned down.
Randiv, from round the stumps, landed this on a length outside off and it came in with the arm.
Yuvraj leans forward to defend and gets an inside edge. Also he was outside the line.
44.4 Randiv to Yuvraj Singh, 1 run, just outside off stump, eased through covers for a single
44.5 Randiv to Dhoni, 1 run, gets back to punch this off break to long-off
44.6 Randiv to Yuvraj Singh, 1 run, just outside off stump, pushed towards backward point and they
make it across.
Batting Powerplay time
End of over 45 (5 runs) India 245/4 (30 runs required from 30 balls, RR: 5.44, RRR: 6.00)
Yuvraj Singh 9* (11b 1x4) S Randiv 9-0-43-0
MS Dhoni 71* (72b 5x4 1x6) NLTC Perera 9-0-55-1
45.1 Malinga to Yuvraj Singh, no run, starts with a slower one, Yuvraj checks his bat-swing and pushes
it out to cover
Third man comes inside. Long-off in place
45.2 Malinga to Yuvraj Singh, no run, another slower one, this one is outside off, Yuvraj goes for the cut
but is too early into the shot. He makes no contact.
45.3 Malinga to Yuvraj Singh, no run, the yorker this time, that bat comes down in a hurry and he digs
it out to point. Yuvraj wants a single; Dhoni doesn’t want a run out.
