Dhoni's sixer in the 49th over taking India to victory against the Sri
Lankan team in the ICC World Cup 2011 was nothing short of a fairy tale
ending to a grand epic. Lately, it seemed Providence did not intend to
give India both the World Cup as well as Sachin Tendulkar at the same
time. But then again, it wouldn't have been fair that the team for which
the greatest cricketer ever played,never won a World Cup.
So it was only fair that Sachin's captain and teammates win it for him,
as they had promised to before the tournament began. And this is exactly
how it happened. Sachin Tendulkar deserve a separate post, which lies
in my drafts and which I will be posting soon,GOD-willing.Team India's magnificent victory in the final demonstrate why cricket is a religion in India. Though moments of individual brilliance were strewn along the entire match, the final outcome was undoubtedly a well coordinated team effort. Team India truly reflects the multicultural triumph of the Indian State,most likely it is the only team, with players who come from so many linguistic and ethnic groups. Of course language is not at all a barrier now as it used be in the past (according to veteran experts) it still maintains the symbolic value.
