The next ball was a fast Yorker on the middle stump which is unplayable if someone is standing right on the crease which batsmen usually do. But what Kailash did is baffling; he was standing way back in the crease just few inches in front the stumps and slightly outside leg stump, which gave him enough opportunity to get under the ball and it was sweetly timed for a six over extra cover.

Four runs needed in 3 deliveries, now it was India's game to lose. The whole Indian team and the support staff were standing outside the rope, arms on each other's shoulders waiting for the impossible to happen. Mr. Ashok, takshman, Karthik, Venkat, Anjali and Kids were shown on the monitor and they looked really tensed with Mr. Ashok seen praying.

After a mini conference between Dennis, Brian and Jason the field was again moved. tong on and tong off were brought back in; with deep third man, fine leg, long leg and deep cover as the four fielders guarding the boundary it has to be a slow bouncer on the off stump is what commentators concluded.

With mid-on and mid-off right at the edge of the 30 yard circle, Dennis starts his run up with a huge burden on his shoulder to stop the carnage. He bowls a slow good length ball right on the middle stump, Kailash simply waits and this time he didn't move; takes one step forward and lofts itover the bowler's head for a six. The whole Indian team rushed on to the pitch and in no time Kailash is thrown into the air.

India won the match and they now have a very good chance to qualify for the quarter finals of the world cup 2015. The next day newspapers read:

"A NEW HERO IS BORN"
