Well maybe , but in those tense moments even an experienced player can wilt under pressure and Sachin did!! He was frustrated after the catches were dropped and wickets were falling cheaply. His body language was not cool , the usually calm Sachin felt the pressure and nervousness was seen in his face! Couple of bad decisions , the game was gone!!
This is where MSD was good , he remained calm and had the faith in his bowlers and fielders!! Actually the fielding was also the difference between the sides , while Raina was taking even the tough catches , Zaheer khan and Fernando dropped relatively easy catches and that also cost them as Raina blasted away and made the Mumbai Indians pay for their mistake!!
