Two weeks before I never thought that I ll write this, but here I'm with the great news of India winning the inaugural T20 championship.
What a final match it was and definitely worth watching it again.It was a complete see-saw and well balanced all through the match with just one shot away.Starting from Pakistain restricting India to 157, then India fighting back with some early wickets, then the brilliant knock from Misbah and finally the golden moment when he got out.I was almost in tears when Misbah hit the six in the final over, I thought India will definitely lose the match which should have been won much easier.But never take the credit out of Pakistanis, they played brilliant cricket all through the championship.Consistency the only word which describes the way they played the entire tournament.
Even I thought the last scooped shot went to four, but somehow Sreesanth managed to catch it under pressue and the only great moment he had in the entire match after coming through some big beltings from Pakistani batsmen.Then came the moment of joy with India lifting the world champions trophy after a very very long time.
Its definitely a stunning performance from the Indian boys who managed to held their nerves in the critical situation.MS Dhoni in his new role has captain has got the full backing from the youngsters and he has been an inspirational captain all through the tournament.The one good thing which I really liked in Dhoni's captaincy is that he's not afraid to take risks and very cool and calm in pressure situations.Khudos to the entire team and they really deserved it.
The entire tournament was so colourful and eventful that it changed the whole perception about this T20 game.I thought it will never become famous and its a spoil sport for the game of cricket.But this seems to be the next big thing in cricket, and definitely will attract lot more people to it.
I wanna just list out my top 10 best moments of the tournament.
1. Ofcourse it should be at the top of my list, "India crowned T20 World Champions".
2. Yuvraj's 6 consecutive sixes.
3. Chris Gayle's century in the first match and first of its kind.
4. India's win against Australians.
5. India - Pak bowl out.
6. Zimbabwe winning against the mighty Australians.
7. SA losing a spot in Semi's with just losing only one match ( They are the most unluckiest in cricket and they come with their own reasons for going out of the tournament everytime).
8. Brett Lee's hatrick.
9. Indian fielding , to mention few things.... Karthik's catch, runout's.
10. And ofcourse the beautiful girls and their dance.
All in all its a wonderful tournament and im so happy for the Indian cricket team and to the entire Nation.
CHAKDE INDIA....... you deserved it and keep up the good work.
