Indian cricketer Joginder Sharma, who was part of the team that defeated Pakistan by five runs to win the first T20 World Cup in South Africa in 2007, announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on Friday. In the final match in Johannesburg, Sharma was entrusted with the responsibility of defending a target of 13 runs in the last over, with Pakistan’s final pair of Misbah-ul-Haq and Mohammad Asif on the field. Despite the pressure, Sharma managed to hold his nerve as Misbah attempted a scoop shot, only to mis time it and have S. Sreesanth make a straightforward catch at short fine-leg, sealing the victory for India. #JoginderSharma #T20WorldCup #TeamIndia
