Cricket World Cup 2011 and INDIA on top of the world

After long 28 years when Kapil Dev won the World Cup, Its now, today on 2nd April 2011, the history repeats with M.S. Dhoni's team getting the cup and making India proud and Indians flying above the seventh sky. I myself not a cricket fan and I never watch cricket. Today I watched only India's batting in the finals against Sri Lanka and when India won it was a very emotional moment for all the tough guys on the field who got tears and it got emotional for whole nation and me too. I was impressed by Gautam Gambhir and later Dhoni because they kept at ease while too much of pressure got around after Sehwag and Sachin were out and last hours of the game was very tensed but Dhoni's coolness and his signature shots took the game to another level of being absolute perfect. I don't know how me, a non cricketer here writing a blog on Cricket World Cup but may be its that proud Indian feeling and feel of collective victory that every Indian shares inside their hearts whenever India shines in any field. Now I understand why streets and roads go empty and people leave all their work to watch cricket and specially when its India playing. From today I have a view change on the game. Today's match would be a memorable one for me like every Indian for long long time.
