Colombo, Mar 19
Dinesh Karthik did a Javed
Miandad with a last-ball six as
India pulled off an incredible
chase beating Bangladesh by
four wickets in the Nidhas T20
Tri-series final, in Colombo
Sunday night. Needing five off
the final delivery, Karthik
smashed Soumya Sarkar over
extra-cover as a second-string
Indian side held its nerve in a
tense situation to chase down
a target of 167 in 20 overs.
It would count as one of India's
famous last ball sixes --
something that Pakistani legend
did against India 32 years back
in Sharjah. Karthik's gem of a
cameo got him 29 off 8 balls
with two boundaries and three
sixes -- the last of them which
will be forever be etched in the
memory.
Skipper Rohit Sharma's (56 off
42 balls) dismissal set India's
inexperienced middle-order in
panic mode and Vi jay
Shankar's four dot balls off the
18th over by Mustaf izur
Rahaman made it very difficult
Dinesh Karthik does it in style, India
win Nidahas T20 tri-series
for India.
Karthik came at the start of
the19th over and hit Rubel
Hossain for 22 including two
sixes and two fours to bring
down the equation to 12 off the
final over before finishing it off
in style.
A partisan Sri Lankan crowd,
who were upset by
Bangladesh's behaviour did
the now famous 'Nagin Dance'
(Sbnake Dance') along with
Indian supporters leaving the
Togers distraught.
Rohit started with a lofted
boundary over long-on off his
opposite number Shakib.
Young off-spinner Mehidy
Hasan Miraz then got a taste of
what world class batsmanship
is as he was hit for two huge
sixes -- one over deep mid-
wicket and other over long-on
along with another boundary.
Shikhar Dhawan (10) and
Suresh Raina (0) were out in
quick succession but the Indian
captain was in his element as
Bangladesh's ploy of using
spinners in the Powerplay
didn't prove to be as effective
as India.
Rohit hit left-arm spinner
Nazmul Islam over mid-off for a
boundary and then an inside
out lofted shot over long-off
fetched him a six.
Wells, Mar 19
Former US Open champion
Juan Martin Del Potro stunned
top-ranked Roger Federer 6-
4, 6-7 (8/10), 7-6 (7/2) Sunday
to win his first Indian Wells title
and second consecutive ATP
crown. The 29-year-old from
Argentina handed Federer his
first match defeat of 2018 and
extended his own win streak to
11 matches, including a title run
earlier this month at Acapulco.
“I’m still shaking,” Del Potro said.
“It’s difficult to describe with
words. It’s like a dream.”
Del Potro, nagged by wrist
injuries throughout his career,
survived three match points
before claiming the
championship in a third-set tie-
breaker, ending a two hour, 42
minute marathon contest.
“I cannot believe I won this
tournament, beating Roger in
a great final and this level of
tennis. We played great tennis
today,” Del Potro said. “I just
want to keep winning titles like
this if I can.”
Del Potro won the first five
points of the deciding tie-
breaker then closed it out when
Swiss superstar Federer, who
had won a career-best 17
Del Potro outlasts Roger Federer to
claim Indian Wells title
straight matches to start the
year, smacked a forehand long.
It was an emotional match for
both players as each took turns
questioning the chair umpire.
Del Potro urged him to stop the
pro-Federer crowd from
making noise on his serve and
an irritated Federer also had a
couple of lively conversations
with the umpire.
