In the fourth over of the Indian innings in the final, which Kasprowicz bowled, Sachin got a bottom edge that almost hit his stumps. As the ball went to fine leg, Sachin took an easy single. He was just a few feet away from Kasprowicz when the bowler launched into a vicious outpouring. It’s not clear what he said but it made Sachin, who normally bends his knees and adjusts his abdomen guard in the face of abuse, give a glare and then ask him what his problem was. From that moment, Sachin’s calm-and-composed innings took a break whenever Kasprowicz came to bowl. He kept muttering dirty things to Sachin who kept spanking him. Eventually, the bowler got him out leg-before to a ball that one, pitched outside the leg stump, two, was clearly going away from the off. Sachin departed looking very annoyed, for 134. But India coasted with ease to the target. At the end of the match, Sachin was gifted an Opel Astra, and he graciously accepted the loose change.
