Team India trumped England by four wickets it lift its fifth U19 World Cup. Although the match did seem to go down to the wire, the Indian wicket-keeper Dinesh Bana pulled off two huge hits to take India to victory. In this article, we take a look at how Twitter reacted after the Indian U19 wicket-keeper does a Dhoni to win the 2022 U19 World Cup.
Indian U19 wicket-keeper does a Dhoni
MS Dhoni finishing the 2011 World Cup final with a six is one of the iconic shots in the history of Indian cricket. Although many other players have tried to repeat this feat, the success has been scant in this regard. However, in the recent U19 World Cup final, Indian wicket-keeper Dinesh Bana could achieve it. He hit two huge sixes off the bowling of James Sales to seal the game for India. Hence, this triggered the memory of MS Dhoni’s shot in many.
Earlier, it was the brilliant bowling display that helped the Indians take control over the game. Riding on the five-wicket-haul by Raj Bawa, India got England all-out for 189 runs in the first innings. Left-arm pacer Ravi Kumar also had a good game. With the bat, although India started with an early setback, the likes of Shaikh Rasheed and Nishant Sindhu scored fifties to help India stay afloat. It looked like the game will go to the final overs but Dinesh Bana brought out his big-hitting abilities to avoid any surprises.
