Indian managed to pull off a last-over victory against the host West Indies on Friday in an edge-of-the-seat contest. The men in blue needed to defend 15 runs in the last over and skipper Shikhar Dhawan brought in his best bowler Mohammed Siraj to do the task. The Hyderabadi pacer bowled four terrific deliveries in the over but it was one magnificent effort of wicketkeeper Sanju Samson, which made all the difference between victory and defeat.

Siraj erred in his line when he bowled the second last delivery which went way down the leg-side, but Samson proved equal to the task and showed his athleticism to dive full to his left to collect the ball, which could have easily gone to the boundary. Finally, those three-runs earned the victory for Team India.

“Sanju Samson’s stop was the difference in the end. 100% boundary. And that would’ve been Game Windies," tweeted former India opener Aakash Chopra after the match.
