It was a power-packed weekend for sports. Roger Federer created history by winning 6th Wimbledon title and became the only player to win 15 Grand slam titles surpassing the great Pete Sampras (Sham’s all time favorite tennis player) and with last ODI washed out due to rains,India clinched 4 matches one day series by 2-1. This is after a long gap of 7 years that India has won ODI series in Carribean.
After an early exist from T20 world cup Dhoni & Co. toured WI as wounded tigers and certainly wanted to turn the table in their favour this time as WI was one of the side who played spoilt sport for their exist from T20 WC.
With opening pair failed to fire, it was all on middle order especially Dhoni & Yuvraj to shoulder responsibility and they did it with perfection. Yuvraj blasted 131 in first ODI to make India reach a score of 329 to defend and finally won the match, while Dhoni played a fighting knock of 95 in second ODI after India batting collapsed at was struggling at 78-7. He once again showed power with the bat promoting himself at number three in 3rd ODI where it was close win after D/L revised scores.
Dhoni declared Man of the Series.
If people talk of records then this is India’s 5th series win in a row while Dhoni hit 6 (six series wins).
