Chandigarh, February 6

India U-19 wicketkeeper Dinesh Bana’s winning shot reminds the internet of a legendary wicketkeeper—former India skipper MS Dhoni.

Bana’s last six swung the title in India’s favour, much like Dhoni’s last shot in the 2011 World Cup final against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium. And what’s more, much like Captain Cool, as Dhoni was affectionately called, Bana keeps wickets for his team.

To put this in context, Team India lifted its fifth U19 World Cup title on Saturday, beating England by four wickets in the final of the latest edition at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.

ICC felt much the same. Taking to Instagram, ICC likened Bana’s shot to Dhoni’s.

“Where have we seen this ending before?” ICC captioned the video on Instagram.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
