#Dhoni still has it in him
The India Bangladesh Match on 23rd March night was not for the weak hearted or the sick and old who can't stand such immense pressure
For me the man of the match and a future winner for India is Hardik Pandya
However Dhoni had to bring out of his bag the best to get from Hardik
The 19th over of Bhumra was the key to the victory and the last ball exposed the Bangladesh team that can still be choked at the crucial end
Dhoni's trust in Bhumra after his 4 runs miss on the boundary and the lose over in which he conceded too many runs and his dropping a vital catch gave Bhumra his life back of bowling those relentless Malinga - type Yorkers
The final ball that let down Bangladesh was their feeling that they can end a match like Dhoni instead of a push or Nick around. Each of the batsman who faced ball 4.5,6 of the last over thought he could end it with a flourish instead of the single to tie and two to win
Dhoni still has in him that vital element that makes him stand out among indian captains
Hardik has in him that eagerness to learn from his captain and bowl to the plan set up by the Indian think tank that saw wily old for Nehra who was keen to be share all his bag of tricks with the team captain and Hardik
Surely the match was win by experience wile and that extra edge that Dhoni still has in him
Wish India safe entry into the knock and kudos to the young tigers who are truly ready to cause few future knock outs and India just won it first under 150 match out of 10 played under 150
