"It's the World Cup Finals everyone. And India has to chase down 351 in 50 overs. Earlier Jadeja took a 5 wicket haul and helped to restrict the opponent to 350. With the impressive batting line up India has, the target is achievable but history has not been in favour of India much when it comes to knock out. Let's see what the Future holds"

Ravi Shastri the commentator spoke in the mic.

The Indian openers were all ready at the boundary line.

Ravi: We can see the Indian Openers near the boundary line all ready to go inside to chase the target and as I am saying this, The umpires asked No 1 & No 45 to come inside. Ladis and Gentleman, It's the world cup final and we are about to start. No 45 at the strike.

As the Indian innings started, the openers did give their best. They both stitched the partnership carefully. Leaving or respecting the good balls and hitting the loose balls. The batting conditions were not in their favour for first 10 overs and if India has lost the wicket, it would be difficult as it would be tough for new  player to set. But the openers did well and scored 50 runs in first 10 overs.

Ravi: Now India need 301 runs in 40 overs. They did right by staying calm but now the run rate needs to be increased.

And it looked like the players heard him and they now started targeting the bowlers.

Ravi: It's seriously one of the best approach and a classic approach by the Indian openers. And why not when you have Klassy Batter KLR Jersey No 1 in the middle and The 6 Hitting machine Jersey no 45.

Jatin Sapru another commentator joined him.

Jatin: Yes Ravi bhai. And look at their faces. There is no pressure of final. Specially look at KLR. As expected the Poker face is all on.

Ravi: Exactly. It's the flick from KLR and it's a boundary. What a way to reach the Half Century. Both the players hugged each other and KLR is being applauded by everyone specially the Captain.. VK.. Next ball and a single is taken And now It's the end of 15 overs and India at 86/0

Jatin: Ladies and Gentlemen it's start of the 16th over. First ball is bowled and KLR goes down the ground. It went too high and should be taken and it's taken. KLR has to depart at 51.

Ravi: And now the captain.. the skipper.. Jersey no 18 .. The VK is in the middle. We can see VK and Sharma talking something and fist bumped.. must have talked about how they will be celebrating the retirement..

Jatin: Hahaha.. Well if jersey no 18 & 45 are on the ground, you can expect these things

The partnership between VK and Sharma was going good. Both of them showing why they are being called the destroyers and why they own the maximum number of heighest partnerships.

Ravi: It's 20th over's last ball and here it is The Sharma Special Pull Shot and it's a Six and with this it's 50 for Sharma. As usual Kohli jumping and celebrating more than the player who got half century.

Jatin: It's the end of 20 overs and India are at 120/1. Now India need 231 runs in 30 overs. But with Sharma and Kohli stitching the partnership and India still having Rahane, Dhoni, Jadeja and Ashwin have all the chances but we need to increase the current run rate.

But as usual As Sharma reached 50 Runs mark, the ball also started reaching the boundary lines more often. And Kohli on the other side was fully enjoying the innings and shots giving all animated expressions as usual. And in this Sharma special hitting, the opposition team which was none other than Australia didn't realise when Kohli scored the half century and was building the innings towards yet another 100.
