5. 77* vs Pakistan at Karachi:

This match was termed as a dead rubber, India having already won the series convincingly. Pakistan didn’t lose their guard and capitalised from the start with a solid opening partnership. Younis Khan guided Pakistan to 286 along with fruitful contribution from Mohammad Yousuf. India in reply got off to a flying start, Dravid scoring a fifty and Gambhir playing a composed knock of 38. Yuvraj Singh was in terrific form during the series and continued his good run with a strokeful century. India needed a second fiddle to the story, and who better than MSD. Coming at number 4, Dhoni was on song from the start. He smashed four sixes out of the park along with 6 beautiful boundaries. Dhoni found the gaps with ease and hence India never pressed the panic button. Dhoni flaunted his popular golden locks and played a robust knock. With 7 runs to win, Dhoni guided one to the stands in his usual fashion and took a single to mark an emphatic series victory in Pakistan. He was calm from the start and his high back-lift helped him punch the ball down the ground. He never lost his composure and carried on the momentum for the side. With Yuvraj Singh going after the bowling, Dhoni showed his maturity and shifted gears when mattered.
