India wins on and off field.


What can I say about the majestic win of India in the India's tour of Pakistan in Cricket 2006 (ODI)? India had many challenges off the field with the team selection, but still won the series with the "over-confident" Pakistan. If there is a key to the success of India, it's only the team work. India maintained a low profile with the issues, after its test series defeat to the host, which also resulted in Pakistan winning India in the first ODI (although not a convincing one).

Chats & Talks everywhere - "Sachin has lost his charm (Endulkar?)", "No Sehwag, No Ganguly. India is Bully Bully...". It's true that Pakistan had 7 batsmen and had a reasonably strong team even without Akhthar and Afridi. I would say that Dravid had the courage and team effort to thrive India to a stunning victory with the support of Dhoni, Yuvraj, Sachin, Pathan, Singh and Sreesanth. The fielding and the bowling were remarkable, not to miss Dhoni's batting & keeping (India's new Gilchrist).

The war is over and everbody's happy; especially Chappel (Bye Bye, Dada). You can look forward for Suresh Raina in the forthcoming ODIs after his remarkable contribution to the fourth ODI. I'm sure that this win would bring in lots of hope and courage to the Indian team for the tour of England in India. It looks like the new sponser to the Indian cricket team (Nike) makes some sense, doesn't it? Atleast when we realize that all that Nike says is "Just do it"; We did!!!
