Cape Town: Sachin’s innings that against Chennai Super Kings in just opening game of the DLF IPL Season 2 was entirely fantastic. Considering that the Newlands pitch and also about the weather, I personal think that his innings was more imperative. It obviously deserve the man of the match award cause. Given into the way the pitch has behaved for the next first six overs, Sachin had to just carry his bat all the way through the innings particularly after Sanath Jayasuriya was when dismissed.

frequently in a Twenty20 game the pitch and also the conditions don’t matter so much but Saturday was so different. There was malleable bounce and the ball was also stopping and coming. The CSK bowlers be supposed to have got wickets in just those conditions but they did not get so enough. MS Dhoni had opened the bowling with Thilan Tushara and Manpreet Singh Gony hoping just that the helpful conditions would thus make help even his lesser bowlers. In theory, he was right but the reality is that everything went against him. His batsmen batted when the conditions were better and yet failed to get to the target.

It was so special match for player both MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar. It was that moment Dhoni won the Twenty20 World Cup and next it was here in the South Africa that Sachin Tendulkar scored more runs than anybody else to take India to road to the World Cup final in 2003.
