What a victory and in what style! MS Dhoni, I bow to your supreme confidence in yourself and your ability to envisage a passage to victory even in most dire conditions.
Even though Tendulkar couldn't do much in the finals (though don't forget those sweetly timed beauties through cover and on side) , it was a delight to see him enjoying the victory lap on shoulders of the next generation . The next generation has got its heart in the right place " he has carried the burden for last 21 years, it is about time we carried him" were the words from Viraat Kohli. Gautam and he did just that, shoulder the responsibility, so wonderfully on the field earlier. No slam, no bang, no drooping shoulders and digging in either, it was a show of cool control and immense self-belief. Not a great fan of Dhoni's hop-skip-jump style of batting but Yuvraj and he were just amazing in the finish. Gosh... it was surreal to see the last runs coming off a huge six, ball flying into the sky and Dhoni's eyes following it till the celebrations shook him out of his trance. It was a fairy tale ending.
