India are the champions of T20......

India clinch the coveted title of the T20 world cup..

The buzz is still on n will continue for a long time to come...India are the champions of the T20 world cup...beating pakistan by 5 runs...The action and frenzy at the bull ring arena reached new heights when India beat pakistan by 5 runs...A match that could have gone either ways turned in India's favor when misbah ul haq misqued a shot to the safe hands of shreesanth...it was a match that had all its viewers glued to it till the last wicket was taken...a match that had fortunes swinging verey alternate over...huh....cricket at its best
Pakistan won the toss and put india to bat...an injured sehwag was replaced by yousuf pathan,irfan pathan's elder brother,thus making it only the 3rd pair of brothers in the history of the game to play in the world cup finals after the waugh's and the chappell's.he just proved to be a ideal parner for gambhir who took on the mantle of scoring runs ...he was the top scorer with 75...Yuvray and dhoni failed to make much with the bat and were sent packing by umar gul.the resiliant knock of rohit sharma of 30 runs helped india cross 157 run mark
pakistan started their chase miserably losing kamran akmal anf hafeez to the accurate bowling of rp singh....but imran nazir threatened to take the match away from indians belting shreesanth for 21 runs off his 1st over...but a moment of brilliance by uthappa had him run out...younis khan, shoiab malik and afridi lost their wickets to an disciplined bowling by irfan pathan...at 77 for 6, the match looked under india's control..till misbah ul haq and sohail tanvir hit some huge sixes to bring pakistan back to the game...pakistan kept losing wickets at regular intervals but were always within the targets reach...pakistan lost their 9 wicket in the 19 over having to score 13 of the last one and misbah to do all the work...
Dhoni had to gamble an d the ball was in joginder sharma's hands he bowled a wide making it 12 off 6 balls...the second ball saw no run...and the 3rd ball was sent for a 6 makin it 5 off 4 balls...pakistan were one shat away from victory and indai 1 wicket away...misbah now only mistimed his shot to poch a catch to shreesanth....india had won and how....every body who watched the match will be unanimous of the opinion that cricket cannot get better....batting bowling and fielding at its very best.....this victory will be cherished by indian fans for years to come....Its a old saying...it doesnt take long for time to change.....its just proved it once again...who in their wildest of imagination may have dreamt of dhomi's boys winning the cup....huh...great feeling...well done india....we are proud of you......
