Twenty-20 World Cup Final in NCST....

Hello to all of you....

While you reading the title of my blog you must think that Twenty-20 final in NCST! How is it possible because that was at Wanderers , Johannesburg. Actually I am talking about the scenario which was at NCST during World cup finals.

It was 24th sept. Twenty 20 finals was going to start from evening 5:30. We all ,students of NCST
were waiting for beginning of that match and why not? After all that was the world cup final between India and Pakistan. No one want to miss a single ball of that match. We have a common room in our hostel and there is also a T.V. Timing for watching T.V. in hostel is 6:00 pm to 12:00 am. and that is the fixed time. Strictly no one can change those time periods. But As I mentioned no one want to miss the single ball we request to authorities and they accepted our request and gave us the key of common room at 5:30 pm.

On the evening of world cup finals I had to go outside for some impotent work. Even I didn't want to miss a single ball but I was bounded to do my work so I was outside during Indian innings. I was outside but my all focus on finals so I was ringing my friend vineet for updation of indian scores in every 15 minutes. It was vineet who gave me final score of Indian inning because I completely missed Indian innings. India made 154 runs.

When I came to hostel second inning was already started and Pakistan had lost their two wickets. I was happy when I got to know Pakistan had lost two wickets. That common room was house full on that day. Each NCSTian was in the common room. We were not worry about whether we got chair or not. We all were tensed because target set by Indian team was achievable. We shouted very loudly on falling of Pakistan's wickets.

I remember four overs were remaining and Pakistan needed 54 runs. We all were little sure that India going to win that match but you never know with cricket no one know what was going to happen in next minute and especially in Twenty-20. That's why we were not 100% sure.
In 18th over when Harbhajan was bowling , Misba-ul-haq the batsman hit ted 3 sixes in a over and we were very disappointed. At that time we were angry with Harbhajan singh. In 19th over Sohail tanvir hitted 2 sixes but R.P. singh took his wicket and Pakistan were 9 down.

In last over Pakistan needed 13 runs and had one wicket at hand. Joginder sharma had to bowl. First ball he threw was wide and we were truly tensed because the dangerous misbaul was on strike. He hitted again a six and pakistan needed only six runs now we all were sure that Indian team missed their chance for winning world cup. One of my friends Bhartendu went outside of common room. Really we couldn't want to see the world champions as pakistan. 4 balls were remaining joginder again bowled and misbah again wanted to hit six so hiited ball in gully region,
ball was in the air we all almost want to leave the common room but as Shreesanth took the catch we all jumped with joy because now INDIAN ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS.

We all were shouted louder and louder. I was shouted very much that's why I lost my throat for next two days. We all congratulated each other. We were shouted as World cup was in our hand at that time. We all shouted together "Hip-Hip Hurry ah" uncountable times.

That was the moment which all NCSTians of our batch will remember for long time.
