Chak De India

The last time I was so happy I was 10 and then 12, when India won the Prudential World Cup in 1983 and the World Series in 1985 respectively. This win has eclipsed both of them as I have been waiting for 22 frickin years to be so happy.

Congratulations Team India – T20 Champions…Chak De India….

    was discussing with my friend – for more than 20 years – we been seeing the winning moments of the ‘83 world cup splashed everytime we speak of indian cricket.

  13. @EU – Congrats to you too. Bangalore unfortunately got washed out…maybe the second one also may get washed out.
