The duo had put on 117 runs for the sixth wicket, with Dravid was
looking set for a hundred and more, when an attempt to steal a
non-existent single led to the Indian vice-captain being run-out
for a refined 71 off 81 balls. Dravid was understandably livid at
his own error in judgment; his dismissal meant that Kaif now only
had the tail for company during the 12.3 overs that remained in
the Indian innings. He needn't have worried. Displaying the
sangfroid that made him the hero of India's magnificent win in
the NatWest final at Lord's, Kaif proceeded to carve out his
maiden ODI hundred while guiding India to a formidable total.
