It was in 30th over when Rohit Sharma's patient innings of 52 ended with India managing a run rate over four runs an over.
From there on to fire up the run rate to six an over or 9 an over in the last 20 overs skipper MS Dhoni with his CSK mate Suresh Raina built a solid 144 run stand for fifth wicket in 17 overs at about 8.4 runs per over.
It was a pleasure to see Raina batting so astonishingly on the same conditions where his teammates like Kohli, Dhawan are having a continuous failure. His captain too continued his form with the bat and gloves where as Dhawan failed yet again to give a good opening stand.
A hundred in any game has its value and in this game its worth could only be weighed in gold because Raina's 75-ball effort steered his team to victory. It was his first ODI century outside the Indian sub-continent.
