This refers to the report Guru Gary bows out, on a high (April 6). Gary Kirsten’s contribution to India’s World Cup triumph has been invaluable. He pitched in at a time when Team India’s performance was down and things were falling apart.
Kirsten’s guidance was instrumental in inculcating the perfect blend of aggression, maturity and composure in the team. He was also successful in bringing out the extraordinary leadership skills of MS Dhoni. We wish Kirsten the best in his future endeavours.
BIG CHEERS to Team India for re-writing history after 28 years, on April 2, 2011, and clinching the WORLD CHAMPIONS’ title !!
IND YEAH !!
Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s man of the match was truly well deserved. His unique strategies were the key factors instrumental in the grand finale victory. After having lost the toss, Dhoni straight away put on pressure on the Lankan batting during the first 15 overs, thanks to excellent bowling by Zaheer and Munaf, and outstanding fielding esp. point & backward point (Yuvi & Raina).
The Lankans fought back well with Jaywardene scoring that handy century, and making 100% utilisation of the batting power play. The early dismissals of Sachin and Sehwag came as a blessing in disguise. Gambhir & Kohli played with utmost maturity. It was sad for Gambhir to have missed out on the golden century moment!! Once again Dhoni’s sudden intrusion at number 3, going on to play a captain’s knock in such a pressure game, worked wonders. Also, the idea of playing defensive against Murali & Malinga and going after the others was a revelation.
The best part was the CAPTAIN finishing it in style was a SIX! Overall, it was a splendid, fabulous & brilliant performance by the ENTIRE INDIAN TEAM throughout the tournament. Yuvraj , Sachin, Zaheer & Raina played key roles in crunch games. The Master Blaster Sachin’s bestest’ moment in life.
A GREAT WORLD CUP 2011 indeed especially for BLUE eyed boys, and cherished memories for billions of fans throughout the nation for years to come….
