Ishant could have done anything; still a last ball being a last ball, Dhoni had one cushion of security. The batsman won’t take a chance. Fast, furious, Ishant dug it in short. The ball reared off the pitch from a nasty spot, took Ali’s glove and rose in the air. An eager Cheteshwar Pujara took an easy catch. 173/5. The plan had worked. It was lunch time.
