The beginning feeling of dread when Sehwag's wicket was lost....it's like my heart just sank......then I started hoping that maybe Sachin will make his epic century in this final....but then even he went soon after that......and the silent shocked faces of the audience in the stadium mirrored ours at home also.

I can totally imagine what the fans must have gone through at that point. I was like "Woah, luck is probably not on their side tonight."

Btw, until today I had no idea who the players were. I just knew Sachin (who doesn't know him) and Yuvraj because his name was brought up whenever Deepika Padukone's love life was written about ... lol. Mujhe last few days mein pata chala who Dhoni/Gambhir/Harbhajan/etc are and what they look like. The same goes for the Pakistani players. *embarrassed muh*

Waise did Deepika date Dhoni too? His name seemed vaguely familiar to me even before I watched any of the current matches!


I haven't followed cricket in a long time so wasn't familiar with many of the SL team ke players either.....that dude with the blonde highlights waale curls.....now I know he's Malinga but I was calling him blondie throughout the match and cursing him😆😆......and I used to get scared each time he'd get the ball cuz he was the one to get those first two wickets.....but baad mein Gambhir and Kohli kya SOLID set huye!👏👏.....Gambhir chose the right moment to come back into form and play such a memorable innings! And there was plenty of drama in the match to keep it close for a while....until the SL team kinda seemed to lose their josh around the 35th or 40th over....like the pressure started to get to them but the Indian team never lost theirs!

LOL I kept calling him "blonde highlights wala" too. The SL team played well though. It was a good match in terms of the drama/suspense. And I really thought the Indian team would lose their josh/confidence after Sachin and Sehwag went out. If I were one of them, main toh field mein hi behosh ho jaati itne pressure ke baad. 😛


And a special word for Sangakara.....first time I've seen this man speaking and dude, what an IMPRESSIVE guy!👏👏.....He speaks soooooooooooooo well! I don't think in my life I've ever heard ANY cricketer speak as impressively and eloquently and just so NICELY as this man! SO classy! I'm a fan now!😆.....No matter that he was the opposing side......but the sheer CLASS with which he conducted himself....and was SO gracious even in defeat......great man👏👏

I couldn't agree more! What an amazingly well spoken man.My mom and I loved what he said about his team, about the tournament and about the opposing team. Very classy!

Nahhhhh . He's too intelligent , that one. And she's exactly the opposite. They walked the ramp together once..I forget for what , it wasn't some designer , it was for some brand...they were the showstoppers . And Dhoni went to watch OSO the day it released as well , or maybe it was a couple of days after it released , so it was sone pe suhaga for Aaj Tak and the ilk :P

My GOD , I remember a lot of crap. :P

Oh he was BRILLIANT yesterday :D And thankfullyyyy allll the risks paid off :D :D I was so surprised to see him coming in instead of Yuvraj ! Mujhe laga ki there's a time and place for foolhardiness but it wasn't then definitely...but it was a masterstroke :D His and Gary Kirsten's :D

And for the life of me , I will never , ever , ever , forget the way he simply FROZE after hitting that six :D Background mein you could see people rising , everyone knew by then that we were almost home , but Dhoni's reaction was ... I mean , never did I think that he deserved the Ice Man tag more :D :D

And Bhajji :D
