Joginder Sharma Biography

Joginder Sharma was asked to defend 22 from the last over of the 2007 World T20 semi-final, against Australia. He had conceded 31 from 2 overs till then. He took 2 for 6 in the last over.
 
MS Dhoni entrusted him with the last over in the final as well. This time Pakistan needed 13. A six from Misbah-ul-Haq brought it down to 6 from 4; then Misbah went for a scoop, S Sreesanth took the catch at fine-leg, India lifted the trophy, and cricket was never the same.
 
Joginder never played international cricket after that, though he had yet another excellent last over, in the 2008 IPL — a tournament he was indirectly responsible for. Mumbai Indians needed 19, and Joginder gave away 12.
 
Dhoni was the captain in all 3 matches. It was ironic, since Joginder and Dhoni had made their international debuts in the same match. He never actually failed in his 4 ODIs (3 of which were against Bangladesh): he batted thrice, got out only once, and scored 35 from 30 balls. He got a solitary wicket, but he went for 4.60 an over.
 
His First-Class numbers, 2,804 runs at 25 and 297 wickets at 21, make excellent reading: there is no doubt that he could have been given a run in whites. However, for some reasons the selectors believed for seam-bowling all-rounders, excellent performances in longer formats were good enough only to earn slots in limited-overs cricket.
 
He played for Chennai Super Kings till 2011. Later that year he had a near-fatal accident where he received a serious head injury and a fracture. He did come back to put up some more quality performances. The most famous of these was 5 for 16 to bowl out Mumbai for 136 in Sachin Tendulkar’s last Ranji Trophy match, at Lahli.
 
These days he works for the police.
