Will We, Won't We?

It’s a real wonder what hope does to an individual. Well, this holds so true to today’s situation.

March 26, 2015 - a BIG DAY for India. Battling against Australia to grab a place in the World Cup 2015 finals, India is chasing a huge score. In a country where cricket is a religion, my office was no less.  With the entire office in blue we were supporting the team in our own way. In the mood for a real game, my office decided to stream the live match. Big screens were put up in the office and cafeteria. Australia, as usual played well and put up a big score for India to target. With every Australian wicket falling, the crowd screamed and cheered.  Innings one over, India came on to bat and chase the target. Through the initial overs, Indian players weren’t at their best. The cheering crowd slowly became a lamenting one. And then, came some strong players, who took the scorecard a bit higher.

But as Indian wickets began falling, the pall of gloom spread again and everyone meekly returned to their desks. Now with Dhoni, batting on the crease and some runs in the making, the cafeteria is crowded again.

With faces painted and hoping for a miracle, here we wait!

Will India recreate the 2011 magic or will it let go of the coveted title of being the world champions? Only time will tell!

Peace!!!
