Cricket ke maidan par aksar humne miracles dekhe hain, lekin jo nazara T20 World Cup ke semi-final mein dikha, usne sabko hairan kar diya. West Indies ki star player Deandra Dottin ne sabit kar diya ki kyun unhe world cricket ka one of the toughest characters mana jata hai. Jab poori duniya ko laga ki shayad wo is bade match se bahar ho gayi hain, tab is Sherni ne wheelchair se uthkar batting maidan par aisi tabaahi machayi ki Australia ke hosh ud gaye.
To Hua esa hai ki:
Kissa shuru hota hai West Indies vs Australia ke semi-final muqable se pehle. National Anthem ke waqt sab kuch normal lag raha tha, lekin jaise hi Australian anthem shuru hua, Deandra Dottin ki tabiyat achanak bigad gayi. Unhe support staff aur Zaida James ke sahare maidan se bahar le jaya gaya. Subeh se warm-up kar rahi player ko wheelchair par dekhkar fans ki saansein atak gayi thi. Agle 30 minute wo medical room mein rahi aur lagbhag 14th over tak wo dugout mein bhi nazar nahi aayi. Lekin asli Masterclass tab shuru hui jab wo No. 8 par batting karne utri, jabki unhe No. 5 par ana tha.
Jab West Indies ki team 83 runs par 6 wicket gawa chuki thi aur ek bade collapse ki taraf badh rahi thi, tab Deandra Dottin ne unassisted kadmo se ground par entry li. Unka chehra thaka hua tha lekin irade fauladi the. Unhone aate hi Australian bowlers par attack shuru kiya aur 16 balls mein 26 runs ki aisi fire-power dikhayi jisne Caribbean team ko ek respectable total tak pahuncha diya. Unki is innings mein aakhri 7 balls par 3 chauke shamil the, jisne momentum poori tarah badal diya.
Analysis & Numbers

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Ye hoti hai commitment! Deandra Dottin ne dikha diya ki jab desh ke liye khelne ki baat aati hai, to sharir ki takleef dimaag ke junoon ke aage kuch nahi hoti. Jahan Pakistan jaisi team choti-choti baton par collapse kar jati hai aur bahane dhundhti hai, wahan Caribbean players ka ye jazba dekhne layak hai. Dottin ka ye comeback kisi cinematic script se kam nahi tha. Unhone na sirf runs banaye balki West Indies ko semi-final mein ladne layak score diya. Agle tournament mein baaki teams ko is Gamechanger se bachkar rehna hoga.
