WORLD CUP 2011: INDIA CELEBRATES WIN
It was India’s night. It was India’s day. The whole stadium erupts with joy amid crackers and tears as India creates landmark in the history of cricket. The Mahendra Singh Dhoni led India cricket team created history in the Wankhede stadium by winning the ICC Cricket World Cup for the second time after a gap of 28 years. For India’s most celebrated cricketer of all time Sachin Tendulkar, it was a dream come true. The India team carried Sachin Tendulkar on its head across the stadium as the whole country erupted into joy.
The Indian team scored 277 runs while chasing 275 by Sri Lankans with 10 balls remaining. In a true battle of nerves, India held patience to beat Sri Lanka by 6 wickets. Earlier batting first the Sri Lankan team powered by a magnificent century by Mahela Jaywardane set a target of 275 in fifty overs for India to chase. The Sri Lankan team looked shaky in the beginning scoring 31 runs in 10 overs losing one wicket. But in the last power play the Sri Lankans hit 63 runs.
The Indian innings began on a shaky note with Virendra Sehwag declared lbw on the very second bowl of the first over bowled by Lasith Malinga. Tendulkar looked good but he was caught behind the wicket by Sangakkara on 18. Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir played with patience to put India in a comfortable situation before Dhoni went smashing the Lankans. Gambhir top scored in the Indian chase scoring 97 runs. An emotional Gambhir said that the World Cup goes to the people of India and especially to Sachin Tendulkar.
The Indian Captain peaked at the right time today scoring a scintillating inning of 91 runs on 79 balls which included 8 fours and two huge sixes. The winning run came with Dhoni smashing six of Kulasekara.
The Indian Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was adjudged the Man of the Match for his terrific innings. Yunvraj Singh got the Man of the Series award for his terrific effort with the bat, ball and on the field as a fielder.
The BCCI has announced an award of Rs. 1 crore for each member of the Indian Cricket team. The richest board of the world has also announced Rs. 50 Lakh for the coach. The support staff will get Rs. 25 lakh each.
It was a dream of Sachin Tendulkar to have this metal in his kitty. Tendulkar said it was the proudest moment of his life. For him this couldn’t have been better than winning the World Cup of Cricket on his home ground. The little master smiles and many players including Harbhajan Singh and Yunvraj Singh could be seen in all tears as India erupted with joy and passion.
It’s Diwali all across India as the country celebrates its second Cricket World Cup since 1983.

Too bad cricket isn't as popular as soccer and football, they would have been making US millions.

Hi Rosie, they are making a lot, well not as much as Base Ball and Soccer and Football, but a considerable amount.
Next on the agenda in another few weeks will be the India's 20/20 Competition, where players has been contracted to play for a two to three months period for US $ 2.4 million and under.

The man of the moment. Sachin expresses his gratitude to his home-crowd.
It wasn't just the 32,00 odd people present at the Wankhade stadium who prayed for Team India to win the cup for Sachin but millions of his fans across the globe pitched in in their own unique manner.
Also seen in this picture, Sachin's daughter Sarah and the 'coveted cup'.
