2/4/2011- JAI HO

Oh man! What a day!! L-E-G-E-N-D-A-R-Y seems to be an understatement!! after 28 long years Team India is the world champion yet once again! The moment of winning actually made me cry! SACHIN DESERVES IT!! HE IS GOD!!
The match started at 2. It was toss time n whoa the noise of the crowd confused the referee what dhoni said....and i swear, he said heads and it was India who had won the toss.But  Jeff Crowe decided to retoss and sangakkara won the toss. So it was a rocky starting already even before the ball was bowled. So the srilankan captain decided to bat first and there was zaheer khan who took the first wicket and also bowled 3 maiden overs!! Beat that now!Although there were a few blunders by sreesnath, the overall target of India was 275!! It was a class batting by jaywardhana!
And then came out the boys in blue and guess what! Sehwag goes out in the 2nd ball for no runs! and Then Sachin for just 38 runs! I didnot feel like watching the match anymore! but still it was the world cup finals...So with pizza-puff, maggi and fanta bottles we started praying for some miracle to happen! And it did...There walked in Gautam gambhir and virat kohli!! And gambhir...i bow down to him!! He played for 97 runs! he couldn't complete that century! But now to worry! After virat kohli was gone then the trump card was released in the form of MAHENDRA SINGH DHONI!! And mind blasting partnership it wasa between him and gambhir, but after gambhir gone, Yuvi walked in, and all he had to do was make sure Dhoni was at the striking end! And there was the victory with a magnificent 6 to end it all! There we were, the world champions!
Let the party begin, and literally too. Sachin-1 man who carried the responsibility for 24 long years finally had the shining cup in his hands. The sight will never go out of my head. And the whole country was celebrating! Never has a festival been celebrated with such enthusiasm as was this victory! so how could we be left behind. We fired crackers, shouted, hooted and then hit the road! And Whoa BARODIANS TRULY ROCKED! With the djs, Flags, dummy cups, " De Ghumake", " Indiaaa, Indiaaa", and all the patriotism!!
If there is 1 thing that truly is an example of unity in diversity, it is Cricket!
Congratulations Indians and lets all bow down to the men in blue!!
And sachin- YOU ARE GOD!!
Love-Rina :))
