A shower when it was raining runs
Sachin Tendulkar missed the whole of [Mahendra Singh] Dhoni’s 46-ball power-knock.
"Mohammed Kaif was out almost immediately after me. I went for the ice bath and shower a little later… Once I was in the shower, I could hear my teammates screaming, ‘great shot’ and ‘well played’. I realised Dhoni was going great guns. I decided not to come out of the shower thinking the momentum might just get lost. I asked Harbhajan (Singh) to keep me updated on the score from outside."I must have had the longest shower of my life… It almost stretched to 40 minutes. I came out only when I knew that we were some seven/eight runs short of the target."
