Moments which took India to glory: Images 2011
India's 29-run win over Pakistan was full of twists and turns. It shaped up to be another classic when openers Hafeez and Kamran Akmal were going great guns in the opening overs. But once Zaheer and India drew first blood by removing Kamran, and then took crucial wickets of Akmal junior and Afridi, India made it a one-sided contest. There was one innings though which made all the difference and that came from the bat of Sachin Tendulkar. Take a look at all the big moments from the India versus Pakistan encounter.
