How to Name it


India are the world champions, I never thought that I will be writing these golden words, thanks the M.S.Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj, Gautham Gambhir, Zaheer Khan, Sehwag, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, Munaf Patel and the rest of the team including Gary Kirsten and the rest of the supporting staffs. I am not sure what I should be blogging today, but I myself feel like a champion, I feel like I am part of the team, every Indian feels so. Who ever said the there cannot be greater joy than defeating Pakistan in the semis are wrong even I thought so, but I was wrong there can be no greater joy than winning a World CUP. This was indeed the grand mother of all matches

The hysteria in the crowed was at a all time high, really it was at an all time high, from the entire Bollywood celebs and Ra
jinikanth with his family, to the industrialists, countries top doctors and the president of the both the countries were present to witness History, but the countries have done it in the past and but no one were in mood to miss this chance, you wont come in the finals of a world cup every often and its highly impossible to make it in your home land. During the toss no one could here what was called out and the match officials had to toss the coin again. This was enough proof that it was not against the Indian playing XI vs the SriLankan team but it was a jam packed Mumbai stadium with 40,000 vs XI Sri Lankans. Post match many players acce
pted that without the crowed support they couldn't have made, I think without the crowd support they have would have gone mid way in the tournament

I am not going to write a big blog on though its the biggest victory but I would like to say that who ever complained and doubted Dhoni's ability to win matches with his batting skills should bang their heads on the wall. Dhoni peaked exactly when it mattered and snatched the Man of the Match in the Finals with a match winning 91 of 79 Balls. During the post press conference Dhoni said that he wanted to give the youngsters a chance and he was ready to take the pressure into him! What A CAPTAIN! He is one of the best things that has happened to India Cricket and by far the greatest India Captain ever, who has made India NO.1 in T20, TEST AND IN ODI

After a magnificent start by Zaheer who bowle
d 3 Maidens in the first 5 Overs everybody would have though it would be a low scoring game, he had certainly made up for the bad show in 2003 when he gave away 15 runs in the first over, but things changed and India weak link, the bowling department was exposed, Sreesanth who had played just 1 match in the World Cup and that too vs Bangladesh where he gave away 58 runs in 6 overs continued to be expensive. Everybody thought that Ashwin who was dubbed as India's answer to the weak bowling attack was dropped because of the short boundary line in the straight, but it dint go right, no one knows if he was picked up on basis of supersaturation because he was part of the T20 Championship team in the finals! but what ever the reason may be it looked wrong at least till the end of the Sri Lanka's batting. The technically correct Mahela Jayawardana, when though every India bowler including Zaheer Khan, when he scored an hundred every
statisticians would have though that its game over for India because the batsmen who scored a Hundred has never been in the loosing side but little did they know that this time it was to alter history.


Team India has altered the world cup records in many ways and these are some of the interesting facts

This is the first time that a team is loosing (Sri Lanka) in the finals inspite of their batsmen scoring a hundred,
No country which has hosted the cup has ever won the cup.
Most of the time its the man who wins the man of the match award in semi finals who wins the MoM award in the finals,
No one has hit the winning run with a SIXER, Dhoni did it
Most of the time the team which chased during the finals have lost
Highest successful run chase in a finals, this the fist time a team has chased down 270 Plus, we did it with a over to spare
I think this is the first time a man is getting MoM award directly in the Finals (the rest of them atleast got the award once in the preliminary games)
This is the first time that an Indian bowler ends in being the highest wicket taker, joint with Shahid Afridi
The is the first time that a player wins man of the match directly in the Finals before the group or other matches
This is the first time that a player scores a half century directly in the Finals of a World Cup
and now on a lighter note, Gary Kirsten is the only South African to win the world cup!!

NOW MANY OF THE MEDIA WHICH CRITICISED THE TEAM WILL SHUT ITS MOUTH and MANY GROUPS WHICH ALWAYS CRITICISES THE GAME AS THOUGH THE HAVE PLAYED THE GAME WILL SING A DIFFERENT SONG, Its Very Good for India

I dont know what else to write, but
we are the champions. The wait for 28 years have finally ended. We have proved that we are world beaters but know we have proved this to everybody who doubted if we could really peak when it matters, the Dynamic Captaincy of Dhoni is the key, he has won the T20 Championship, made India NO.1 in Test Cricket and now the World Cup, what else can we ask for? he has done everything for us, every mistake which the Indian team and selectors did will be forgotton for many days to come, all the complains about India's bowling will be perished, we are champions and we have proved to the whole world, we are the champions. Enough if not said, but I don't what I should be saying from the next world cup, we wont be seeing many of the 83 world cup moments but it will be Dhoni's six which was the winning run that will be repeated for years to come. The world has a new world champions and some brand new Heros in the form of Gambhir, Kholi and Raina. The bio data of the world's best batsmen is complete! Sachin is part of a World Cup winning team, India are the champions
