A Bow to the New T20 Champions!!!

A Bow to the New T20 Champions!!!
Hard work always pays, it’s the biggest truth. We can also say hard work and good attitude pays; this also seems to be good. My hearty congrats to Pakistan T-20 team for lifting the WC. They showed what they are capable of. They showed what hard work and good attitude can make.
They were not in the greatest mood to start the T20 Tournament. Honestly I didn’t expect Pakistan to win the WC, I never even taught of that. The team hasn’t played lot of international tournament recently and they never had a winning stroke in the matches they played recently. But, they won the WC. Initially in the tournament they faced some serious defeats, but they recovered so quickly. I will say its pure attitude and 100% dedication than anything which, most of the team failed to show in the WC...




Younis Khan’s men proved, they are the World’s best team. Everything was perfect from their side on that day; Good Fielding, Great Captaincy, Good bowling and Great Batting.
I was eagerly watching over Afridi throughout the series, as he is a star in Pakistan Team. He showed great maturity in his batting in the last 2 games, one against SA and one against Sri Lanka (SL). He bowled bowling like a Lion, terrifying the opposition.

Sri Lanka was a great team on the other end. They were undefeated; they showed a great display throughout the series. It’s not possible for any ordinary team to award a full stop to a good team like SL. The match was so close till the 17th over, I think the 18th over gave them the gateway to pass through. Last time they lost to India in the WC, that match was unforgettable and was down to the wire. This time they don’t want to repeat the same, they have to prove to the world, and they did.

Recently Pakistan is facing lot of internal problems, which made the people to feel sick and bad. This victory will change that; it definitely brought out the good mood among the Pakistan people. Already the country is celebrating. I can feel that form my Pakistani friends here. They have no words to express their happiness; it is really a great sight to see.
Soon after the WC Younis Khan announced his retirement from T20’s, I think it’s a good decision. So who will be his successor?

I think Afridi would be better choice. He is with the Team for so many years, he is well experienced that all others in the team. It’s the time for PCB to decide.
Younis Khan requested all the Cricketing Nation’s to come to Pakistan to play Cricket, it’s a fair call. I think PCB should make sure they give the maximum protection to the Players, even to the home players.

Once again, my Hearty Congrats to Team Pakistan to proving a lot to the World. I want them to play lot of international tournaments.

All the Very Best!!!

An interesting fact: Gambir helped Afridi to face Mendis... check this...
