T20 World Cup – A Memorable Victory

A real tribute to the young Indian Cricket team for winning such a sensational match against Pakistan in the T20 final. They showed lot of enthusiasm and character. I think more than their talent, their character helped them to win all the tough matches. Really, it was a true example of “Give your best, rest will be history”. The euphoria in Indian public was also worth noticing. I am sure the kind of reception the Indian team got while returning home is something for them to treasure for rest of the life to come. It doesn’t happen often.

Ok, now with all these euphoria, time has come to think about future. It’s true that these young lads showed a lot of courage. We probably need to think of introducing them in the longer version of the game. At the same time we must keep them under a good stewardship of Dhoni, Yuvraj & other senior players. It’s just the beginning, probably they need to be trained both physically and mentally to perform better in all forms of the game. We need to think of good and healthy combination of senior and junior players in the team. It will be wrong if we say, Seniors are no longer required. They may not be a good fit for T20, but longer version of the game requires a different kind of mindset which these guys have. In the same time, these guys will prove as good mentors to the young guns if used properly.

I am sure the experience of Seniors and enthusiasm of Juniors will help us build a winning team for future. Good luck to Indian Cricket Team.
