2008 Indian Premier League Final In reply, the Royals lost its first batsman as N. Patel went out after scoring two runs in 11 balls.[1] Manpreet Gony bowled a full length ball outside the off stump, which hit the leg stump after getting an inside edge as N. Patel opted to pull it.[14] He went out in the first ball of the fourth over, leaving his team at 19 runs with loss of one wicket.[1] The Royals lost its second opener when Raina caught Asnodkar as he hit a full and wide ball by Morkel to point.[1][14] He made 28 runs facing 20 balls.[1] In the same over, Makhaya Ntini ran out Akmal with a direct hit. Akmal played the ball to mid-on, but Ntini glided downwards and threw the ball at the stumps.[1][14] After the fall of Akmal's wicket, Watson and Pathan started playing more aggressively, and scored 65 runs for a fourth wicket partnership at a run rate of 8.66; this was also the highest partnership of the match.[15] In the eleventh over, Raina dropped Pathan on Murlitharan at deep midwicket.[9] At the end of the thirteenth over, the Royals reached a score of 100 runs.[1] In the fifteenth over, Muralitharan broke the partnership as he bowled Watson; the ball hit the leg stump.[1][14] The next wicket was of Kaif, who was caught by Dhoni on Muralitharan. Kaif pushed a flat doosra, and Dhoni took a simple catch at cover.[1][14] In the next ball, Jadeja went out for a golden duck.[1] Morkel bowled a short ball, and Jadeja tried to pull it. However the ball went to mid-on, and Kapugedera caught the ball after running towards his left.[14] In the same over, Raina ran out Pathan with a direct hit at the stumps. Morkel bowled a full ball which was pushed by Warne to point. He ran for a single, but Raina hit the stumps, running out off-striker Pathan.[14] Pathan went out scoring a half-century; he made 56 runs out off 39 balls with a strike rate of 143.58 and hit three fours and four sixes.[1] The Royals needed 18 runs at the end of the eighteenth over.[9] The second last over was bowled by Ntini, in which he gave up ten runs.[9] In the last ball of the over, Ntini bowled a good length ball, and Warne hit a four by Warne at cover.[9] In the last over, the Royals required eight runs, and Dhoni gave the ball to Lakshmipathy Balaji.[9] Six runs were required from the last three balls, but Balaji bowled a wide outside off stump, which was missed by the wicket-keeper P. Patel. This resulted in two extra runs.[9] In the next ball, Warne hit a full ball for a run.[9] The Royals needed three runs from the last two balls.[9] Tanvir played the fifth legal delivery of the over, which was an angling full toss. Tanvir hit the ball at the long leg, and ran two runs.[9] The Royals needed one more run off the last ball, with Tanvir on strike; Balaji bowled him a short ball. Warne had already covered the half distance of the pitch when Tanvir hit the ball. The two batsmen ran for a single and the Royals won the match.[9] Both of them remained not out with nine runs each.[1] Morkel and Muralitharan got two wickets each, giving 25 and 39 runs respectively.[1] Gony got one wicket, whereas Ntini and Balaji had none.[1]
MS Dhoni The Indian ODI team in the early 2000s saw Rahul Dravid as the wicket-keeper to ensure that the wicket-keeper spot didn't lack in batting talent.[56] The team also saw the entry of wicket-keeper/batsmen from the junior ranks with talents like Parthiv Patel and Dinesh Karthik (both India U-19 captains) named in the Test squads.[56] With Dhoni making a mark in the India A squad, he was picked in the ODI squad for the Bangladesh tour in 2004/05.[58] Dhoni did not have a great start to his ODI career, getting run out for a duck on debut.[59] In spite of an average series against Bangladesh, Dhoni was picked for the Pakistan ODI series.[60]
