With their future in the tournament on the line, India came out and produced a display of such dazzling luminosity that they've now given themselves every chance of making it to the semi-final stage. It was a performance that was full of self-belief at every stage, including right at the very start, when Mahendra Singh Dhoni went against the popular concept of winning the toss and batting first - only four times before this in the tournament had the captain winning the toss chosen to bat, and two of those games had been against Zimbabwe, when both Australia and England opted for batting practice.
Yuvraj's stunning assault was the icing, but the cake had been baked before that, when Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir put together 136 - the second-highest opening-partnership in Twenty20 internationals - in less than 15 overs. As much as the runs they put together, what was impressive was the manner in which they went about their job.
With the ball doing a bit early on, both batsmen kept their big shots in the bag for the first 20 minutes. After four overs, India had scored 23 - that's almost a run a ball - with the ball going beyond the boundary just once, when Sehwag earned four leg-byes from an attempted flick. The boundary hitting was terrific, but even more heartening was the manner in which they sniffed out scoring opportunities, patting the good balls for singles, and stealing twos where many other pairs might have settled for one.

Gambhir has often talked about his comfort levels when opening with Sehwag, and today's performance demonstrated the kind of understanding and faith that can only come with years of having batted together.
