2011 Cricket World Cup

It's interesting how sports and the sense of nationality that arises from victories manifests a strong feeling of accomplishment and congregational bliss. Perhaps the union of thought from many converging into one generates this, somewhat like realizing Brahman. However Bhagavan (iconic athlete, team leader) and an accompanying entourage is the catalyzer of this process.

Just speculating...

It was an amazing match and really quality cricket. Excellent fielding in particular by India. The target was not really small and Sehwag/Sachin being dismissed so early was worrying, but Dhoni really saved the best for the last; epic innings there together with Gambhir and Yuvraj. That winning sixer is simply epic.

Kudos to Sri Lanka for putting up a formidable fight. We really deserved it... especially for Sachin! I loved what Kohli said about him; so true.

Namaste,
Yes, I could not believe that Virat said that. It was so spontaneous and natural. Smart kid.

For me Virat as the name suggest summed it up, brought a tear or two in the eyes.

"This goes out to all the people of India. This is my first World Cup; I can't ask for more. Tendulkar has carried the burden of nation for 21 years; It was time we carried him. Chak de India!" Virat Kohli leads the Tendulkar tributes

Jai Shree Krishna
