You just can’t keep a good guy down. In Sri Lanka, Reetinder Sodhi didn’t get too many opportunities to justify his star billing as the Indian team was brimming with talent. But when his expertise was called for in the final, the baby-faced Sardar from Patiala bowled a restrictive line (none for 26 in 10 overs) and scored a composed 39 not out to steer India out of last-minute hitches, an effort that earned him the man of the match award. Handling pressure comes naturally to Sodhi: you see, he’s already a veteran, having played in three junior World Cups since 1996.
