Sewag's Hurricane made Delhi to win

After watching his bowlers who take wickets in no-balls and his fielders who drop sitters, the captain of Delhi Daredevils took his frustration over Deccan Chargers. He made a blistering century, also his first in Twenty20s. Complete lack of support from his team-mates, Sehwag made a flood of boundaries that help them to make a challenging total. The next highest score was James Hopes' 17.
 
Sehwag has made a career out of sticking in this match. Sehwag shuffled across and glanced a boundary from the middle-stump line to fine leg. The asking-rate crossed eleven at by the end of seven overs. Sehwag broke free in the next over, bowled by IPL debutant Ishan Malhotra. In the first ball of this over he played in deep square leg, in the next ball deep midwicket. Two more boundaries followed, as Sehwag looted 23 off the over. Sehwag plundered 13 off the next over, from Christian.

Sangakkara brought on spin, so often Sehwag's strength as well as weakness. Sehwag displayed his strength first ball, dancing down and launching Amit Mishra over the straight boundary. The weakness was on display next ball, as he rushed out again but ended up slicing to sweeper cover. That is when Deccan decided to return the earlier favours, substitute Ankit Sharma clanging a simple chance. Sehwag gladly guided the third ball through third man for four.
 
Birt departed in the 11th over, having contributed 4 runs to a partnership of 61 off 28 balls. Sehwag ignored the contribution at the other end, dispatching Mishra for three consecutive fours. The second of those boundaries slipped into the boundary from Ravi Teja's grasp, after he had managed to get both hands to the chance.
 
When 69 needed off 48, Sangakkara brought Dale Steyn back. Steyn dug one in short; Sehwag got on top of it, and flashed it past backward point. A desperate Sangakkara turned to Bharat Chipli's gentle medium pacers. Sehwag brought up his hundred off the first ball, and then creamed the next two for sixes. Twenty-seven needed off 30.
 
Victory was looking far away for Delhi when they had permitted Deccan to run on a bouncy pitch. Sangakkara and Shikhar Dhawan had chances grassed, and JP Duminy and Christian would have been dismissed within the space of three balls in the 15th over. Sangakkara's partnership with Duminy was a good affair, with punchy and edged boundaries alternating with swings-and-misses. More luck was to come Deccan's way when Morkel dropped Sangakkara at short fine leg off Ajit Agarkar, and then failed to get near the ball when Dhawan top-edged a pull off the next delivery. Duminy, who had made 77 runs in five previous games, hardly looking like the batsman who had been struggling for runs. He added 71 in 33 deliveries with Christian, as Deccan made 108 in the last ten overs. It counted for little in the end.

Finally India Won The Cup

Twenty-eight years on from this match that transformed the history of world cricket, India recaptured the crown that Kapil Dev and his boys first lifted at Lord's in 1983, and this time they did so in their very own back yard. A fantastic innings of 97 runs from Goutam Gambhir was very helpful for achieving their goals. And at the same time, Mahindra Shing Dhoni played a match winning innings since Ricky Ponting played in Johanesburg eight years ago. A poetic century from Mahela Jayawardene to pull off Srilanka in 274 for 6 and the target was 275. this was the highest successful run chase ever in the world cup final.

India won the final by 6 wicket with 10 balls in hand. Dhoni promoted himself to no. 5 for taking extra responsibilities onto his own shoulder. The cool man did his job of a fantastic innings of 91 runs, and also not out. In this innings he stroke 8 boundary and 2 over-boundary.

When target were nearer, with 15 required from 17 balls, he flicked Srilanka's only true threat Lasith Malinga through midwicket for consecutive boundaries and also finished his innings and Indian innings by hitting over long-on for fantastic over-boundary when India needed 4 runs from 11 balls. By hitting this shot Mahindra Shing Dhoni finished the innings.

In the very beginning Srilankan captain Kumar Sangakara own the toss and decided to bat first. Zaheer Khan opened his account with three consecutive maidens and wicket of Upul Tharanga in a excellent spell of 5-3-6-1. But in his ninth and tenth over he gives17 &18 runs. Srilanka made 63 runs in the batting powerplay to post an imposing 274 for 6.

In the Indian side most danger man Virendar Sehwag, who had hit a boundary of the very first ball of six innings of India among eight previous innings in this tournament, but this times he done nothing and in the second ball he goes back pavilion with duck by a victim of LBW of Malinga's full delivery into his back pad.

Bating legend Sachin Tendulkar also become a victim of Malinga when Indian score was 32. Then Virat Kohli and Goutam Gambhir made a good partnership and after the fall of Kohli, Indian captain Mahidra shing dhoni came in at 5 and made another partnership with Gambhir and anchor India in a wonderful victory. Yuvraj Shing also participate in this run chase.
