India made it quite decently well in twenty twenty in the bilateral series with Pakistan but never knew that smiles are not going to stay for long on the faces of Indian fans.Defeat in the first ODI was still digestable to some extent as we had faith in the team that somehow we will be able to cope with the pakistani team but God knows what has happened to Pakistan team in this series,its been playing exceptionally well proving its hard hand on bowling as well batting.The Indian defeat at the second ODI shattered all the hopes amongst the Indian cricket fans who have been dying to see dejected faces of our neighbours because as we know the energies,the enthusiasm goes to its greatest peak when it comes to India-Pakistan series and that too when a bilateral series is happening after twenty two years.
However,though India lost the series but the fans still hoped from then and as it was discernible in the stadium people came to support their team in huge numbers.And again we sort of lost hope when such a small target was given by India and all the wickets taken created cherry on the cake kind of a situation.But the tables soon turned over,one,the amazing bowling by Jadeja,the debutant Shami Ahmad,Kumar,Ashwin and the fantastic tight fielding which just blew over the Pakistani bowlers.I suppose even the Pakis might be assured of that the match is in their hands when would have seen the target but as Sidhuji said in his commentary 'jab kismat meherban toh banda pehelwaan'.Here,the luck and effort both made it possible and it was a great great win by our team. Today,we saw the hunger to win in their game!!!
