Robin Uthappa's helped India to secure a victory at London in 2007

India were trailing 2-3 to England, and a loss in this match would have meant England win the series. England elected to bat first and posted a mammoth 316 runs as the Indian bowlers had an off day.A century from Owais Shah and useful contributions from Bell, Wright, and Pietersen helped them to reach that score. Notably, in this match, Dmitri Mascarenhas plundered five sixes in an over of Yuvraj Singh and scored 36 runs off 15 balls.India,
in reply, got off to a good start with Ganguly (53), Sachin (94) and Gambhir (47) all playing crucial knocks. However, England hit back and India's innings crumbled. It was left to Dhoni and Uthappa to salvage the match with the run-rate climbing up.Both of them did an excellent job as they helped India steady the innings. Dhoni got out at a crucial moment of the match, and it was Uthappa's heroics which helped India get over the finishing line with just two balls left to play.
