The Slog Sweep

Fourth last ball of the match, Pakistan was on verge of scintillating victory.We almost lost it.But miraculously Misbah misqueued a slog sweep. It was end of all Pakistani hopes. Epitomized the joy of every cricket fan of India.It was best day of my life as a cricket fan.Twenty20 has epitomized the passion and engulfed the whole nation.And thus borne the Indian Premier League.What an entertainment was it for month and a half.TRP soared once again Cricket fans across India grilled to see suc fine performance.Certain instances such as hitting by Brandon Mccullum, six hit by Shane on 2nd last ball of match, Akhtar's introduction to league, Marsh's effortless Century in Semis, sensational hitting by jayasurya. Though we utterly disappointed by the bad performance by the players of Deccan Chargers and Royal Challengers Bangalore, the whole show was well organised. Nothing to say about the cheerleaders, politicians have enough spoken about them.It had a fitting final, Infact Chennai were sort of 5 runs to lift trophy.It was truly team effort by Rajasthan Royals to win the title, though it was surprising that the players do not turned up for victory ride in Jaipur. Shane Warne's deep involvement with the players and setting a standard, made the fellow players to follow the suite. Hope that this enigma will continue with more fervour next year.This blog is open for discussion.
