इंडिया,वर्ल्ड कप, 2011

INDIA, WORLD-CUP, 2011 We have reached in semifinal. To-day is semifinal match between India and Pakistan, the two old rivals. The match is of great importance for us. Whenever, these two teams come before each other, heart beatings of Indians and Pakistanis reach peak. The matches between these two teams seem as real fighting. However, whenever these two teams fight, India’s side is always heavier. I am sure, India will surely defeat Pakistan. M.S.Dhoni is India’s captain. He is wicket keeper cum batsman. Our batsmen are master blaster S.R.Tendulkar, Virendra Sahvag, Gautam Gambheer, Virat Kohali, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Usuf Pathan and bowlers are Jaheer Khan, Asheesh Nehara, Munaf Patel,Harbhajan Singh. Jubee will play as alrounder. Pakistan’s players are Kaamran, Hafeez, Asad, Yunis, Misbah, Umar, Rajjak, Afridi (captain), Wahab, Umar Gul and Azmal. Dhoni won the toss and chose to bat first. Choosing first batting was proved right with the better starting of Sachin and Sahwag. Sahwag made five fours in the fourth over. However, Sahwag was LBW out on the score of 38 having 9 fours on 25 balls. Sachin scored eighty five on 115 balls with 11 fours and he became man of the match. He got five lives. Like other matches, Yuvraj did not do with the bat. He was out on duck but he took two wickets. Previously Raina was twelfth in quarterfinal. Due to failure of Yusuf Pathan, Raina came to bat on seventh position and he proved his utility. With tail enders, he scored valuable 36 not out on 39 balls with 3 fours. Unlike previous matches India batted full fifty overs and made total score of 260 for nine. Here is the score board of India:- Sahwag- lbw Riyaz, run-38, ball-25, 4s-9, 6s-0; Sachin-c-Afridi,b-Azmal-85,115, 11,0; Gambhir-c –Kamran, b-Hafiz-27,32,2,0; Virat- c-Umar Akmal, b-Riyaz-9-21-0-0; Yuvraj-b-Riyaz-0-1-0-0; Dhoni-lbw-Riyaz-25-42-2-0; Raina not out-36-39-3-0; Harbhajan –stump Kamran-b-Azmal-12-15-2-0; Zahir-c-Kamran-b-Wahab-9-10-1-0; Nehara-run out-1-2-0-0; Munaf-not out-0-0-0-0; additional-18; total-9/260 in 50 overs. Pakistan score board is:- Kamran-c-Yuvraj-b-Jahir-19-21-3-0; Hafiz-c-Dhoni-b-Munaf-43-59-7-0; Ashad-b-Yuvraj-30-39-2-0; Yunis-c-Raina-b-Yuvraj-13-32-0-0; Misvah-c-Virat-b-Zahir-56-75-5-1; Umar-b-Harbhajan-29-24-1-2; Rajjak-b-Munaf-3-9-0-0; Afridi-c-Sahvag-b-Harbhajan-19-17-1-0; Wahab-c-Sachin-b-Nehra-8-14-1-0; Gul-lbw-Nehra-2-3-0-0; Azmal-1-5-0-0; additional-8; total-231/10 in 49.5 overs. Raina’s entry proved good. He is a marvelous player. He scores fast as well as stays on the wicket. Yusuf is also a good player but when he was given chance, he never tried to stay more and India’s condition became pitiable. Yusuf, Raina, Sahwag are such players whose staying on the wicket is enough to win the match. Runs automatically come from their bats. Raina’s valuable 36 runs with tail enders caused India’ victory by 29 runs. Afridi’s daughters just like dolls began to weep. They blamed Misbah for the defeat. Afridi tells Sachin’s black magic that he got five lives. What may be the reason; India defeated its permanent rival, which gave great pleasure to all of us. The match was more than final. I am sure India will win the final with Shrilanka. To-day India won the final defeating Srilanka. The whole India is enjoying the celebration of winning world-cup. One thing haunts me. Without giving much facility to our children regarding games, we have won the world cup. If we provide better facilities, our children will be permanent winner. State like Bihar is not doing well in this field. Politics is deep in the cricket and pulls legs of cricketers. I expect from our honourable enthusiastic C.M. Mr. Nitish Kumar to pay attention to this field also. Like other field’s miraculous changes, he can do miracle in games also.
