Chasing 270 for victory against Australia, India were comfortably placed at 178/4 in the 35th over. Gautam Gambhir scored 92 priceless runs and laid a solid foundation for the rest of the batsmen.

But, Mahendra Singh Dhoni walked out to bat and played a lot of dot balls, thereby increasing the required rate. He took the game deep and in the end, the equation boiled down to 13 runs required off the last over.

Dhoni, as always, remained 'ice cool' and hit a towering 112 meters six off Clint Mckay and ensured that India won a thrilling encounter. This victory meant that it was the highest successful run chase in the One Day Internationals at Australia for India at that point of time.

'Mr reliable'- Dhoni once again stayed till the end and ensured that India won the game.
