April 2nd Ind Vs SL world cup final: I want to share my joy about one of the most memorable sports day i was waiting for long time may be from the day i admire cricket and sachin..
Everything is set for the historic final and i was gearing up to witness at my friends place with a bunch of my friends coming with families and kids too..we gathered around 2pm.As enthusiastic cricket fans every1 dressed up for occassion with tri colored flags,gaint screen,tattoos on faces few bleeding blue :) ..i was updating my FB as i guessed the QF score(260) ind vs Aus naturally there were guessing and here i gave 270-280 two days before the final and it again turned to be right..
HIGH ON TARGET :The game begin as SL batsmen came into the field like SriLankan lions but Indian first spell under zaheers attack was worth watching but Jayawardene, the classy cricketer nearly took game away .Indians momentum with his classy shots and feathery touch made undoubtedly a brilliant 100.We all rubbing our hands saying that at least there should be good score if not India will win single handedly.. lol!..and munching the snacks biscuits,chips,chockis,mangoes,watermelon and we too had a drinks break with lemonade :)..
Nail bitting moments: I left in FB status that i am gonna watchout how India faces malinga here comes a nasty blow sehwag gone in the start but sachin superb straight drive brought us on tow waving flags..suddenly malinga came back and sachin gone!!! big..big..wicket suddenly tense all around and ladies who brought food packed for the occasion giving bouncers to others as they don't want their hard efforts on cooking to be part of spoiled party..few started playing with kids to ease out the tense..few crazy guys stick to screen(like me) started munching pop corn, dhokla heavily so nervous :(..

Momentum :Delhi saviour for T20 WC gambhir chipping with glorious shots and young lad kohli seems promising every1 giving their view of how much partnership required..kohli lost for a amazing return catch for dilshan..As we friends expected DHONI came in and i told to my colleagues on Ind Vs Pak Semis that "i never saw dhoni coming up in WC which means he is not looking confident but here he promoted himself". I admire his qualities as leader who don't want to comment on young lads if something goes wrong from dressing room.he was out on the arena to make his day to support team.Dhoni fiercely hitted boundaries offside in legandary muralis attack..match seems promising but still people are not taking it lightly as India known for collapsing in mins.All are stuck to the big screen including ladies who left in btw...biting nails ,praying god :)...as score card gradually ticking smaller we jumped with joy, taking snaps with waving tri-colored indian flag shouting "Indiaaa Indiaaa".malinga back into attack but dhoni who already in superb touch inching forward on every boundary to make history
Glory: 4 runs required and dhoni bat ticked so sweetly to a rocketier that flew high in to the mumbai skies people roaring in the stands.. there was "Vandemataram" song playing fans are in trance..emotions everywr that a human can show on one's face anger,lost,anguish for SL fans,tears of joy on dhoni(nvr seen before),gary in dressing room felt like its his own country who made it as SA never own 1,sachin the god for 21years who waited for this day ran into ground emotionally,yuvarajs fury,bajjis senti bursted thru tears...1 billion people who witnessed live or on TV for this historic moment couldn't stand still in one place,there were people dancing,partying,drenched in winning celebrations.we had a mouthwatering dinner at-last after the presentation with all the happiness in the world and ended with an ice cream feast :D
Wat a fantastic day it is for indian cricket! goals,hardwork,commitment on fielding,bowling and batting .indian team gave their 100% as they know only one thing..they want this cup for 1billion cricket fans supporting them and one man SACHIN for his contribution to indian cricket kudos! We are champions "first time after i took my first breathe i saw india lifting 50 over world cup" its been a long wait but its worth it!!!!
