A nation of 1.2 billion people erupted in one of the longest celebration parties in recent time when M.S. Dhoni whacked that ball into stratosphere for the match winning six. I remember watching the 1983 finals on a black and white TV set when Kapil Dev’s team won the cup for the first time. That team was not expected to go the distance then. This time around though, the expectations were quite different. We would not have settled for anything less than the championship. And boy did the team play well! The last three games were a dream run. First Australians were demolished, then Pakistan was banished in Mohali and finally the Sri Lankans were blown away in Mumbai. It was a superlative effort and the team deserves all the praise and accolades that it will receive in the coming days.
Well done team India and congratulations!!
