"That's one word that comes to my mind while thinking of the T20 match between India and Sri Lanka. SL won the toss and got off to a blistering start. After Irfan scalped Jayasuriya for third time on this tour and spinners came in to play, match looked like completely under control of Indians. But T20 is not always the same. Final few cracking overs and Sri Lanka got a very competitive (Better than their own target of the same) score to defend," says the blogger.

"When it seemed all over and only formalities left, Pathan brothers did same thing to Sri Lankans what Lehman brothers did to the world. Everyone watching with disbelief and shock in the islander's team."

He concludes that it was a remarkable game full of excitement. "That's what a real T20 is like. One has to keep one's nerve till the very end."
