India wins twenty twenty world cup!

September 24, 2007. Misc.. 2 Comments.



A big day for Indian Cricket History. Well, I must say that after a long gap of many years, I finally saw the cricket matches played by India in the twenty twenty world cup. Even on the day when the first match between India and Pakistan was being played, we went for Dhamaal movie instead. The movie was good and we had a good laugh. On our way back, we got the news on Radio, how India won the match against Pakistan after hit-the-stumps tie breaker.

I used to watch all the cricket matches very sincerely till my college days especially India vs. Pakistan. But gradually after all those cricket betting  and match fixing, the interest in the game was lost. Infact I love to watch soccer,tennis or hockey more than a cricket match. The cricket match seems to just go and on. But the twenty twenty format was a good change and it is more exciting and we started watching all the matches India played in the last two weeks. The match against England, where Yuvraj hit six sixes in an over was simply superb.

And today was the big day for everyone. I was not able to watch the first half, but I followed it on the net and I got to see the second half and the match was really exciting. At one point when Misabah took 3 sixes, we got worried and the game was looking in Pakistan’s favor. But finally India did it and we won the first Twenty Twenty World Cup and soon the after the win, the whole city and the country went into celebration mood.It was just like Diwali with all cricket fans dancing on the roads, firecrackers go off all over the country and youngsters race through the city on their bikes and cars, fluttering the indian flag. Everywhere you could hear people cheering, congratulating, singing and dancing and the whole country was in  a party mood.
