The so called greats going by the names of Sehwag, Gambhir, Yuvraj, Dhoni, Harbhajan and few others failed to do justice and once again when Sachin left it was more or less all over. Except for one last deep breath when Praveen Kumar hit a six the Indian challenge had breathed it’s last, last night. No, they did not fail by just three runs, it was the god who failed by nineteen runs. Or may be we needed another god. A god of nineteen runs.

There is a new cricket world order in place now. ICC may not agree with this but there definitely is a new world order in cricket. And India is at the top of this new order. ICC may say that Australia is still Number 1 and we are only in the second place but anyone who has followed the rivalry between these two will agree that we are much better than the Australians.

Clinical, absolutely clinical performance of flawless cricket. Whatever you might say but Dhoni is a class act. He is brave, methodical and capable. And luck too favors the brave. It was sheer luck which propelled him to be the captain in Mohali. And I’m not sure that had Kumble been playing the result would have been the same.
