The King of all Burps---Burp 008

I am surprised no one has brought up Sehwag’s name for MOM. IMO, his initial flurry was a key difference maker, took Gul (Pakistan’s best bowler coming into this game) out of the equation. Cricinfo had this snippet of how the first 15 overs was the difference - India outscored Pak by 29 runs exactly (eventual margin of victory) in the first 15 overs. Basically both teams scored the same number of runs in the remaining 35 overs. This game was always going to be about handling pressure, and Sehwag put the pressure on Pak right off the bat. (Maybe the dropped catches were a result of this). In any case, Sachin did not deserve the MOM.

Sehwag was certainly a difference maker
