Drama, drama, some brilliant cricket, some ordinary and then more drama, and that was the order at Lauderhill, Florida where India played their first-ever international game. The game that was touted be the ICC World T20 2016 semi-final rematch had West Indies dominating the major part of the game before India came back strong. India needed eight from the final over. Marlon Samuels dropped MS Dhoni’s sitter in the first ball; Dwayne Bravo managed to pull it back and finally dismissed Dhoni off the final ball when India needed two from the final ball. Agonisingly, Samuels caught Dhoni this time. ALSO READ: KL Rahul becomes 3rd Indian to score T20I hundred: Twitter explodes
India who managed a run-rate of over 12 runs an over till the 19th over, failed to score eight from the final over with two set batsmen at the crease. Dhoni’s failure to do the job off the last ball resulted in KL Rahul’s effort go in vain. Rahul, who struck unbeaten 110 from 51 balls, became India’s third centurion in T20I cricket and in doing so he joined Suresh Raina and Rohit Sharma as only Indian cricketers with hundreds in all three formats.

Fans trolled and tweeted on Samuels for his expensive drop and the ultimate catch. Dhoni went on to be trolled as the most renowned finisher failed to deliver yet again and quite ironically, Sushant Singh Rajput, who plays Dhoni in his biopic that is set to release on September 30, wasn’t spared too.
Meanwhile Anushka Sharma called and said to Sushant Singh Rajput “I know how it feels”#IndvsWI
