Yes, the WC cricket fever has had its highest temperature possible!
Over 6 billion people have watched the finals, is what the records say!
They were all Indians wanting their nation to win over the Srilankans who were equally equipped and skilled!
The semi final between India and Pakistan was a thriller!
It was, no doubt the best match to have caught up live better than the finals!
And I must say, Dhoni a man of wits and guts… appreciated by all for his courageous statements and accepting his moves!!
Indeed the strong stem for the team!
Srilanakans won over the New Zealand and was an expected entry to the final. A tough competition as they had performed well through out the tournament!
The finals!!!
The toss was funny – yes it started off funny as the match referee dint hear Sangakara calling out heads which was not what Dhoni thought and finally, it was re-tossed!
A roller coaster I must say! …
Still …. Srilankans emerged as winners over the toss and chose to bat!
Though they started off a little weak coz of Zaheer’s wonderful strict bowling, Jayawardane scored a 100 helping them to pose a target of 275 to India!
Our key players Sehwag and Sachin lost their wickets early and India seemed to be in trouble. We INDIANs are used to losing our confidence on the team when these 2 are out!
But now, things have changed and there are more players to give us a confidence with their batting and commitment!
Gambhir and Virat played a good knock for gear up on our score. After Virat’s wicket, surprisingly Dhoni stepped up the order and played a massive innings of 91 to lead India’s victory!!
Gambhir unfortunately couldn’t make his 100 on this special occasion; still his contribution is far beyond records now!
After the victory of WC since 1983, the players rejoiced and shed their emotions.
It was such an ecstatic moment that they can never be penned down replicating the emotions!
Dhoni was adjudged the player of the match followed by Yuvaraj as player of tournament!
Once the cup was handed over to the Indians, it was fantasy!
Sachin’s lap was the best!
And the entire team playing for one man seemed to have been a prividge for the master blaster!
As rightly and wisely said by Virat “Sachin has carried Indian cricket for 21 years and now its time for us to carry him on our shoulder”
What a man he is, deserving the best!
Indeed now, we (INDIA team) are the world champions and they top the charts in all 3 forms of international cricket – Test, ODI and T20!!
What more we need to call ourselves world champions!
And, cricket fever continues with the IPL on the charts....
