Team India needed 9 runs to win in the last over of the match. Then Dinesh Karthik, who got the award for the best finisher, was present on the strike. He came to the crease in the last over. The last over was bowled by fast bowler Daniel Sems. In this, Karthik hit a six on the leg side on the very first ball.
Then when 3 runs were needed off 5 balls, Karthik hit a boundary towards deep mid-wicket on the second ball of the over and gave Team India the match win. This time captain Rohit Sharma was on non-strike. Rohit was overwhelmed by Karthik’s finisher style. This time he came closer and hugged Karthik. His video is also going viral on social media.
