Blog 079 - Celebrating Cricket - T20 Style

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions

No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world

They say, ‘Impossible is nothing’ and team INDIA proved it right! Yes, we are the champions – of the world. A story scripted in Johannesburg for generations to tell.

Like every other Indian, I have been soaked in these moments of pure ecstasy. Right from the thrilling bowl out to the six-in-six Yuvraj moment to the final winning moments, Misbah scoops, Misbah tries to be a hero, Misbah is caught by Shreesanth!


As Harsha Bhogale puts it up – India has truly been the destiny’s child, out there to seek redemption. And I am sure T20 has won a lot of hearts and purists too!

Tomorrow team India arrives in Mumbai and a rousing welcome awaits them, The team will parade all the way from the airport to the Wankhede Stadium in an open bus, which will be followed by a felicitation ceremony.

Deserving felicitations for deserving champions but will BCCI be brave enough to let this young team take on the mighty Aussies (After all we are the young, fearless India) or will it just be restricted to felicitations and a strong bench strength?

India take on the Aussies in a 7 ODI series. Bring it on Aussies, lets see what you have got!
