TEAM INDIA'S SWEET VICTORY
Team India has done it again!!! First the Twenty 20 World Cup; then the under 19 World Cup; and now the Senior Team, having already proved themselves in the longer version of the game [though the records say otherwise], today hit the last nail in the coffin, when they beat the so called ‘invincible and mighty’ Aussies on their own soil.
The Aussies were handed over a taste of their own medicine. They were harbouring apprehensions of the potential and the unbridled talent of the Indian team and each of its players, which led the Aussies to continue the sledging against our players in a bid to unnerve our team. But our team got its act together consistently throughout the Tri-Series and played as a fighting unit. Ponting had not much to say, except to accept Dhoni’s team’s supremacy in all departments of the game.
Sweeter than the Indian victory, every Indian will be proud of the fact that India has been able to counter effectively, the constant sledging of the Kangaroos and the hostile Australian media, by its team’s performance on the field and its demeanour off it as well.
The credit for these triumphs goes not only to Dhoni and his musketeers, but also to Kumble [for his dignified and towering presence in handling the situation during the Tests] and his team, the Manager Lalchand Rajput and the support staff, Vengsarkar and the Selection Committee, and last but not the least Sharad Pawar and the BCCI team for their mature and diplomatic approach in the management of the crisis midway in the Test Series and the unstinted support to the Indian team.
Due credit must also be given to the Aussies [the devils must get their due] who, through their vitriolic attacks on the Indians and their unsporting approach in the games, provoked and inspired Team India to perform to the best of their ability.
