Here are 5 of my reasons why I believe our World Cup victory is all the more momentous and laudable:
# 1: First time ever that a century in the first innings of a World Cup Final, has ended up in a losing cause - that too, without even having any century from the chasing team. #TotalTeamEffort
# 2: First time ever that a team has won a World Cup (final) on home soil, that too, while chasing a never-before-achieved total in a World Cup final.
# 3: In WC 2011, India was the only team to have lost only one match in the entire tournament, after having played the maximum number of matches. Every other team that played, lost atleast 2 matches or more.
# 4: Whenever we have beaten a World Cup, we have always beaten every team that has ever won a World Cup, in that tournament. That's how World Champions should be!
# 5: West Indies, Australia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka - In our last 4 matches, we won the World Cup by beating every team that has ever won a World Cup (in chronological order of every team that won the WC). Truly World Champion stuff.
Congrats Team India, keep up the great work!!
Jai Ho (Gayi)!!
