INDIAaaaa....INDIAaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!
yes ,that's the voice of every Indian across the globe ,no matter where they are , after the thrilling victory of Indian Cricket Team in World Cup 2011 final at Wankhede stadium,Mumbai over their neighboring cricketing nation Sri Lanka. 2nd APRIL ,2011 is the date which made every Indian proud and made it into the History books for ever .It's not a victory of 11 players but entire nation which treats Cricket as their religion and criketers as God.
Just a quick glimpse of the journey of Indian Team through this World Cup :
League Matches -> 6 matches ( 4 wins , 1 lose ,1 tie )
Quarter Final (Vs Australia ) -> Beating 3 time defending world champions .
Semi Final (Vs Pakistan ) -> Beating their biggest rivals convincingly .
Final (Vs Sri Lanka ) -> Beating Lankans by 6 wickets and winning the World Cup.
Individual Performances for India :
Sachin Tendulkar -> 2 centuries and few fifties at crucial stages of matches .
Yuvraj Singh -> 4 MOM awards and Man of the Tournament Award .
Zaheer Khan -> 21 wickets , very economical throughout the tournament .
Mahendra Singh Dhoni -> naam hi kafi hai ,his exceptional calm and cool ,even in the most pressurizing situations ,is what makes him special.
This world cup will also be remembered as ,perhaps , the last world cup in which Sachin played and Won after witnessing 6 World Cups . Sachin is considered as the God of Cricket but it took 21 long years before this God could fulfill his own wish .Nevertheless ,as Sachin says " It's never too late".
Also, this World Cup win has continued the dream run of the charismatic Indian Cricket Team Captain M S Dhoni .He has become the only Wicket keeper Captain to win a world cup .
He has taken Indian Team to No.1 ranking in Tests and ODIs .
At last,I would like to congratulate the Indian Team and the whole Nation for the historic victory of our team.
