#5 A horrendous batting power-play
It’s termed as a batting power-play, which was more of a temptation for batsmen to pick the bones out of everything and also an opportunity for bowlers to disturb any sort of momentum for the batting side.
The batting power-play was taken in the 41st over with MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina in the firing line. To India’s dismay, Suresh Raina was trapped plumb in front in the opening delivery of the power-play.
The power-play turned from bad to worse as they lost their skipper M.S. Dhoni through an inside-edge and on to the wickets. Rohit Sharma and Harbhajan Singh followed suit and India’s batting power-play painfully ended for 14 runs at the cost of five wickets.
