Trusting the part-timers in a bowl-out:

In the 2007 T20 World Cup in South Africa, India and Pakistan were drawn in the same group and the neighbors produced a thrilling contest that ended as a tie.

To decide the winner, both teams participated in a bowl out with 5 bowlers from each side aiming at the stumps.

Pakistan had the likes of Umar Gul and Shahid Afridi bowling their turn while the India skipper started the bowl out with Virender Sehwag. He also gave Uthappa a bowl in the bowl out and with both players hitting the stumps, the Men in Blue went home with a victory.

It was a clever decision by Dhoni to give the spinners a go such a tough situation.
