It's India's Cup. The champion's Cup. |
The classic Kumar Sangakara, the Sri Lankan Captain, led his boys for the batting first and scored a magnificent 274 runs with 6 wickets down in 50 overs. A cup hungry Indian team did their best by displaying their exceptional fielding capability.
I watched the match progress ball by ball, bat by bat and over after over. The young Indian boys did a marvelous job by not loosing wickets thereafter, Gautam, Kohil and Yuvraj complemented Captain Dhoni in their run chase.
They finally did it .
So congratulation to team India for winning the cup for India and (for me)
I wish I could develop a love and liking for cricket. I tried but it is still the same. Please excuse me for being direct. I find the game boring and would not encourage it in Bhutan. ; )
ReplyDeleteHi Lings,
ReplyDeleteI had the same kind of feeling about the game till 2003.
I tell you, that I started liking the game after, India beat Pakistan in 2003 world cup. I was in Jaigon then. An Indian man, totally stranger to me, treated me with sweets in Vatica sweet shop, a retailer in JP center complex sold me a jacket at 50% discounted price.
I wondered as to Why they were doing that for me. I went home and made up my mind to learn about the game.
I started liking the game ever since. Because Cricket for India is more than a game. I think its a sport that brings people together, irrespective of their caste, creed, religion and status.
Ha ha I still sound vague in loving the game as a bhutanese man mosh ?????
I think it is fine to enjoy the things you like. Nothing sounds vague brother. You are fine. : )
