I am sheepish here. For the last few weeks, I spend many tweets cursing all the noise around cricket. And yet, the excitement took over. So, years from now, to remind myself, I was so bloody happy for a master blaster of a team, this post is here.
April 2nd 2011, India took the world cup back, in style and....I witnessed it!
(this is to make my children, grand children, future nieces and nephews, friends' children and grandchildren jealous)
To remind myself, that I loved Gautam Gambhir for his cool 97, that this man went slow and steady knowing well, the need for the singles and the doubles...
To remind myself, that this was a finals of equals and that, Mahela Jayawardene from Sri Lanka, too was awesome...
And that Dhoni said this at the presentation when Ravi Shastri asked him about how he was responding to critics about his not so great performance for the previous games. In the finals, Dhoni came out with a brilliant 91.
The conversation was something like this:
Ravi: Is this a good way to ask people to shut up?
Dhoni: Well..... in India, that would be considered rude!
Of course, to remind me, that sometimes, sports can do what nothing else can :)
