Mission: A promise accomplished!

What a humdinger of a match! It was an ecstasy to watch this kind of a cricket match and more than that being on the victorious side. When the game started at 2 P.M with the toss, people doubted team India’s loss at the toss. Superstition claimed that it may have a great effect on this game and indeed it had. Losing the toss and going for fielding was the first thing that seemed to be heavy on the Indian side. The influx of Srilankan runs after the tenth over and the stupendous ton by Mahela Jaywardhane was the second nail that was supposed to be put in the coffin of India’s defeat. Still, some hope was rumbling inside the veins of the 121 crore people of the country. Cricket is said to be a game of uncertainty, and the Indian fans are well know to match it. Anyways, then began the highly electrifying second chase innings for victory. Everybody’s breathe became uncontrolled and got stuck in the stomach when shewag left the field just on the second ball of malinga. This they believed was the third blow to the Indian side. A few overs had just crossed by and Sachin- Gambhir where picking up the heat and our breathes were easing when sachin left the ground and people were completely shocked aspiring it to be the last nail in the coffin of defeat.

But, as said never loose hope strategy again worked out and India started the chase with pure dedication. Gautam Gambhir’s  knock helped to push some nails in the outward direction. His partnership with Virat Kohli was building up and the people again saw a ray of hope when Virat got bowled over and left the field in agitation. Now was the time when someone as responsible and as clam as our skipper was needed to take India to victory. Dhoni was running out of form and therefore people had little expectation for him. But, what a charisma he created on the field in the final of the world cup. He needs to be saluted for that. His patience and clam and decisions all worked together at this moment and helped himself and his country to reach the victory. Slowly and steadily all the nails came out and the coffin was open where stayed the surprise in form of glowing and shining world cup.

Above everything it was promise once made that was being fulfilled. It was a promise made form captain cool to the greatest cricket star ever, sachin tendulkar. It doesn’t seem that if sachin would have completed his tons ton he would have been so happy as he was yesterday without it. Winning was the ultimate thing that not only brought happiness to them but to the whole nation.
