Chuk De India(cricket)


Well who would have thought that Dhoni and his men in blue will do it after 83 once again. Add Video

I still rember the excitement of 83 world cup when kapil dev gave us the first taste of the world cup.This win in 2007 is even sweeter because it comes after the debacle of world cup in west indies.That to by young unknown side.

The best thing which I liked about the team was calmness of Dhoni and the sheer agressive approach of the players.That is young India for you.

It seems like a fairy tale for likes of Dhoni who rise from small towns to the glory.

The best part of the win was that nobody believed in them but for themselves.

Congratulation to the Team India and Dhoni.

well Done

My only worry now is that the victory would not make them overconfident and they lose the sight of the future,and with all that money being showered on them god knows what would be going in their brains.

BCCI should now look towards small towns that is where the real passion
for the game is.Make small cricket academy or workshops in these towns.I am sure it will benefit cricket and the nation.

the moral of this win

is team first,

united we stand.

in the end Ihave only to say

Chuck De India
