The stage was set, India vs Pakistan in the T20 World cup final. Who would have imagined in the beginning of September that these two sides minus the so called stars will make it to the final. Remember this March these teams did not make to the Super 8 stage of World Cup . Which team would be able to wipe that disgraceful performance with a World cup final win.
All my friends in office, project mates, colleagues assembled in the canteen to watch the match. All the 6 TV sets were showing the match. It was like mini Wankhade stadium in the canteen. Cheers, whistles, claps was heard on every run scored, four , six during India was batting. Thanks to Gambhir, Rohit we made decent score. When we were bowling every dot ball, wicket was celebrated and every run Pak scored was booed. And when the match went to the wire everyone was standing and acting as if they were Dhoni captaining the side. When we won everyone erupted from their seats and chanting Ganapati Bapa Morya, Jai Hind, n stuff. There were high fives, hugs, handshakes, screams, chaos all around.
We won a hard fought battle and first time in Indian cricket history we won cause of team effort and not individual brilliance. Everyone contributed , right from Robin to Shree, the bench, even Agarkar who bowled badly initially and gave Jogi chance to prove his mettle. I made a mistake in underestimating Dhoni's capabilities as captain and good he proved me wrong. At the start of tournament i never expected to win but we won. Yeah India. This team deserves our adulation and love. Three Cheers for our Indian team ! Hip Hip Hurray! Hip Hip Hurray ! Hip Hip Hurray!

couple of things tht worked was youth....w/o d stars both teams played w/o fear or under shadow of big names...all were in their own...avg age of d teams was 24 yrs...which speaks for itself....imagine viru n agarkar were out though in d squad..n again fielding was spot on.....dirct hits, flyin catches being taken...woh indian team main itne aasani se dikhta nahi....in all one d best moments to cherish for a long long time in our short cricket watchin era !!!

A FANTASTIC match.Match with excitement from the very first ball.Who would have thought of World cup without trio Sachin ,Sourav & Rahul? Did we miss the world cup because of them, who knows?
2007 is great for Indian Sport, Cricket Team winning world cup, Men hockey winning Asia Cup & Women hockey team winning world cup beating australia in final (???)
Good Example of Team Work & faith.
Good captain in making MSD.
Jai Hind
