As of now, everything regarding the Champions Trophy is going well for TeamIndia and we hope that defending champions India lifts the trophy once again. Yes, the Indians very confidently made its entry into Finals to face Pakistan defeating one of the tournament’s favorites’ South Africa and followed by Bangladesh team yesterday.
After being asked to bat Bangladesh got off a good start but stuttered towards the end and could only post a modest total of 264. Rohit Sharma struck a beautiful century along with Virat Kohli who scored 96 and took the team home comfortably in under 40 overs.
However, one of the major highlights of the day was seeing Dhoni dance at the wicket of Bangladeshi opener Tamim Iqbal.
The Incident happened in the final ball of the 27th over by Kedar Jadhav. Jadhav bowled round arms straight but the accurate ball at Tamim. The length wasn’t full or short and Tamim tried to hit through midwicket.
Tamim missed the slog sweep and the ball hit the stumps. What followed next surprised us all. Dhoni went into a dancing celebration moving his hand clearly delighted by what has happened.

It was bowlers’ show after the first 25 overs in the first innings. And it is Team India’s batsmen who bagged a glorious victory backing up fair runs individually.

He gave Bangladesh the next big jolt when he tossed a juicy delivery to Mushfiqur Rahim who lodged the ball safely into Virat Kohli’s hands. Bangladesh lost the plot thereafter.
Scalping figures of 2/22, Kedar was highly eloquent of MS Dhoni, who according to him has been a mentor and a pillar of support for him. He talked about how the former captain was easy going when he came to him with his problems. Dhoni’s tips weighed in gold as they helped Kedhar immensely in ironing out his doubts and get the desired results.
Praising MS Dhoni
“I don’t practice bowling that much but I spend time with MS Dhoni and try to learn as much as possible from him. He provides me with all the knowledge that he has. Even while bowling, he helps me a lot by giving indications from behind the stumps on how to bowl to a particular batsman. And I try to bowl according to his advice most of the times,” Kedar said.
Even Virat Kohli in the post-match press conference had admitted the fact that:
