Dear Rediff, Shoaib Malik was caught by Rohit Sharma bowled by IK Pathan & not his elder brother Yusuf Pathan. Please checkup the details before publishing such error matters. In the Final Match of 20-20, YP scored 15 runs, bowled 1 over in which he gave just 5 runs, took the catch of Yonis Khan bowled by Joginder Sharma.
First Hail the best batsman - Gambhir who scored more than half of India's runs and then hail people who scored 5 runs and 10 runs. I am really stunned the batsman who almost scored a century when others were struggling to reach double figures is not even selected for man of the match award and not even talked about in the media. We ungrateful people deserve to loose the ODI series to Aussies.

absolutely correct especially when only two batsmen gambhir (75 runs) and rohit (30 runs) contributed and rest failed... but see wt REDIFF is doing coz REDIFF has been bought by smbody from fuckistan... and throughout the tournament R P Singh bowled like a champion... but still this article is useless as i feel it was a excellent team effort and each member contributed 100% so its wrong to glorify anybody particular...

Accepted. But no one is pointing fingure towards Pathans nor indian muslims - read indians. Its just sheer anguish that Gambhir's name was not even mentioned anywhere where he was the top scorer. the same happened with Krish srikanth who was the top scorer with 38 runs in the WC final '83. but only mohinder amarnath was hailed as he was man of the match.

1-0-5-0 is his bowling figure. Though, he should have been given one more over at least instead of either bhajji or srishanth. it is pakistan that succumbed to pressure and india sustained. lets give credit to the team and not any individual.

Let me tell you one thing moron, when it comes to war or any world cup match,pakis can not win. Even Allah does not approve your barbaric ways of life and support to terrorists.First improve yourself and then think of defeating India.

both the things are impossible. One - they can not or would not improve. and two - they cant think of facing india leave alone defeating india.
This article is totally unecessary---why glorify this innings--if he cant do what he did he does not deserve a place in the team either. Such stupid articles by rediff should stop.
