BLEED BLUE:
25 june, 1983 Kapil Dev and his team fondly remembered as "KAPIL's DEVILS" lifted the World Cup at Lords. after 28 long years SRT and co do it again big tym!! it was really the moment of my life seeing Sachin lift the trophy infront of his fans in his hometown MUMBAI.!!
I couldn't have asked for anything more than this. Winning the World Cup is the proudest moment of my life. Thanks to my team-mates. Without them, nothing would have happened. I couldn't control my tears of joy."
Sachin Tendulkar, who's played six World Cups, on his best moment
"I took a quite few decisions tonight, if we hadn't won I would have been asked quite a few questions: Why no Ashwin, why Sreesanth, why no Yuvraj, why did I bat ahead?! That pushed me and motivated to do well"
MS Dhoni puts a light spin on his selection decisions ahead of India's title win
"This is unbelievable. The Under-19 World Cup, then the World Twenty20 but this is the most special. For Sachin, for everyone else."
Yuvraj Singh, the Player of the Tournament, sums it up
"Very proud of everyone, especially Mahela who rose up to the occasion and put up a great hundred. When you look at this Indian team anything less than 350 looks less! They deserved this title, the way they played in front of a great crowd."
Kumar Sangakkara, the Sri Lanka captain, is gracious in defeat
"All credit goes to Sachin Tendulkar. We played for him. Beating Australia and Pakistan and now this, its a dream come true."
Gautam Gambhir, who gave India the upper hand in the final with his 97
"It means the world to me. I have been part of the three World Cups. This is for the nation. Thank you very much, we love you. This cup is for the people. Love you India!"
Harbhajan Singh was among several Indian players who shed a tear following India's victory
"This goes out to all the people of India. This is my first World Cup; I can't ask for more. Tendulkar has carried the burden of nation for 21 years; It was time we carried him. Chak de India!"
Virat Kohli leads the Tendulkar tributes.
I really loved virat's tribute to Sachin which was met with huge fanfare. :)
In 4 years time i really wish sachin would be able to play the seventh world cup of his career and lead the defense of the WC. :)
Coming to the second part of the title :P "BLEED RED"
it so happened that i came from lab external too late to watch the pre match show and the first few overs of Sri Lankan batting. but never mind i glued to my lappy watching United take on West Ham. what a match it was!! half time at upton park it was 2-0 against united, i was shocked with the scoreline. but cometh the moment, cometh the man!! Enter WAYNE ROONEY..!!! 3 marvelous goals in 15 minutes and saving UNITED from the jaws of an appalling defeat..!!!
what a day it was!! first it was my successful completion of my lab external, then United pipping west ham and later on INDIA DOING THE UNTHINKABLE!! WINNING THE WORLD CUP 2011!!!
I still remember my dad telling me about him watching kapil dev lifting the WC at lords. and today it was my turn.
am proud of indian cricket team and glad to be a part of this HISTORIC MOMENT..!!!
