India was 124/8 at one point in the 2010 Test match at Mohali, needing 216 to win. Ishant Sharma then came in, batted for 92 deliveries, and helped India secure a crucial ninth wicket stand. Before leaving the field with 11 runs left to be scored, Ishant had scored 31 runs. Raina was running for Laxman as he battled an injury.
A typically composed Laxman lost his composure in the tense final moments of the game and yelled at his batting partner and the runner for taking a risky single. Ojha, the number 11 batsman who is not well known for his batting prowess, managed to put the bat on the ball in the final moments, and India scored two runs in an exciting victory.
