Brisbane, Mar 04 (ANI): India won the Commonwealth Bank Series in spectacular fashion on Tuesday.
India put all the sledging of the past to rest as they beat World Champions Australia by nine runs in a cliffhanger second final of the Commonwealth Bank tri-series to script history at the Gabba in Brisbane.
The series win came after a long hiatus of 23 years, a victory that became the symbol of defiance to a hard series that made headlines on the groundand off it as well.
Sreesanth made his presence felt in the electrifying Brisbane atmosphere as he got the right wicket at the right time with Australia falling short of giving an apt reply to some stinging deliveries sent down by the Indian pacers, and some guilish ones from the tweakers.
Speedster S Sreesanth joined the festivities at Brisbane as he claimed the wicket of Mike Hussey just at the juncture when the team required it the most.
For the second time in two high-pressure matches, Praveen Kumar justified the decision to give him the new ball with the wickets of Australia’s three most dangerous batsmen. Kumar also bagged the man-of-the match award for the second time.
When it was Australia’s turn to bat under lights at the Gabba the top wobbled once again, putting immense pressure on Matthew Hayden and Andrew Symonds, whose eventful season continued with him shoulder charging a streaker while chasing 259 in the second final.
