People were already on their feet even before the ball had hit the boundary for the winning six!! The crowd went wild!! there was madness all around - some were shouting, some dancing on the stage, some were literally crying even - tears of happiness. others were just running about looking overjoyed!!
There was a deafening roar in the Auditorium as India had won the world cup. I witnessed a truly historic event in the world of cricket, watched the final from starting till the end - the complete match in the college auditorium with my friends which made it even more fun and exciting. At every decision which favored India, people started dancing and shouting happily, waving the Indian flag, dancing, jumping... it was just too fun to watch.
The whole auditorium had went silent when Sehwag had gone out at the 2nd ball of the 1st over. and the silence was even more deeper when Sachin shared the same fate after a few overs.Disappointment was clearly visible on the faces of everyone as Sachin left the field, some people even left the auditorium - too disheartened to continue watching. But in the end it was a happy ending for India as we won!!
Post match, we went to the cafe to grab a quick bite as we all had kind of.. skipped dinner because of the match.. then there were fireworks n crackers outside the hostel. people were waving the Indian flag on a bike in front of the hostels. I am sure the match would not have been as much fun while watching it alone(without friends) at home, as there was a different spirit of the game while watching it with friends - the shouting, ( cursing :P ), craziness and madness all this could never have been achieved at home sitting quietly and watching.!! :P
This World cup really did change me, I started enjoying cricket. the last two posts on my blog are all about cricket! and the last two matches of India I watched with my own free will, no one forced me to watch them and still I watched them complete from beginning till the end without getting bored, guess it was because I was watching with friends and everything was too exciting.! I loved it.
hope this cricket love lasts for me...! :P
