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….
Congratssss!!!!!!!!!!!
