Having watched India play in the last 3 matches, it’s been really a brilliant show by them. The inaugural T20 world cup as a whole has been really exciting with nail biting finish in almost all matches.
Things could not have been better for the tournament with India and Pakistan setting up a clash for the final. With the Indian team at its best in recent years and going by the world cup track record against Pak, India is sure gonna win this one.
It’s been great atmosphere in the TV room in the hostel here. Nearly 150 people watch the match in a room that can accommodate may be 50. The chants and the shouts when India play makes one feels as though you are watching the match in the stadium. With the semester exams having started today I didn’t expect much crowd in the room for the match against the Aussies, but to my surprise the hall had more number of turn out today. So has been the excitement and fun in the room that I guess no one wanted to miss it. People don’t mind sacrificing few hours of sleep to watch the match. The picture below can be easily mistaken for some riot, but that’s a sample of what our TV room looks like, with everyone trying to find some place to catch a piece of the action.
With the new found attitude in the team, “don’t take the S*** give it back to them” one hopes it’s good for the game of cricket in India. The way Yuvi responded after the exchange of words with Flintoff was simply great. Even today Indians were not afraid to exchange words with the Aussies, a classic example of the doctor being treated with his own medicine. Indians have shown great ATTITUDE and fighting spirit in this tournament and the match today against the mighty Aus was simply brilliant.
Hope Pak doesn’t break the jinx against India in the world cup and the silverware travels to India. c
