INDIA IS TWENTY-20 CHAMPION!!
Well, Well .. Well … Who would have believed it before the tournament that at the end of second week of tournament, India would be holding the T20 World Cup!!
It was a stage set for a perfect T20 Final when India and Pakistan made it to the Finals. Imagine the atmosphere, when India meet Pakistan anytime, anywhere in the world and finding both teams together for the World Championship match is like icing on the cake.
India, again lucky with the toss and electing to bat first as they have done for the whole tournament, didn’t enjoy a perfect start. Sehwag injured and Yousuf Pathan taking his chances as an opener gave India a reasonable start with in-form Gambhir. But then India struggled and had to dig deep to get to a respectable total of 157.
Nahhhhh .. not at all a winning total in T20 cricket … but yes .. definitely competitive.
Sreesanth cannot keep the game simple … He tries different things and pays the price. That’s what happens when Imran Nazir took him apart for 20+ runs in his first over. This match had all the ingredients of an exciting thriller … the balance shifting from one side to another.
[I am suffering from fever and I am still glued to the TV set. Excitement to the fullest, really!!]
The final over, as usual Dhoni showing confidence in Joginder Sharma, or was it a confidence on Joginder’s luck. He’s by far the “bakwaas” bowler of India’s side .. but he brought an element of luck with him … whatever may be the case, he got us two consequtive wins … first Australia and then Pakistan. Misbah played a superb knock and am sure he would have been a candidate for the Man Of the Match. Irfan bowled his heart out .. and he deserved a trophy, really …
So, finally India won the Cup, one might say it is of the shortest version of the game .. but who cares … that is what people like today.
Great Going India …
CHAK DE INDIAAAAAAAAA!!!!
