Look! Team India!

Look at the jubilation and ecstasy of the new T20 World Champions!

What a moment! Of pride, extreme happiness and satisfaction.

A moment shared by all their countrymen! You feel one, you feel a nation, you feel a national mission accomplished!

How they fought for such a moment! They played like one fully integrated unit. They had the determination to excel in everything--batting, bowling and fielding. If you noticed them from the beginning of the tournament you must have made them your world champions already as I did so and got proud of my decision.

Your IPL money cannot buy you such moments, Team India! Play for your country and reap the rewards of your countryman's love pride and support. Your dirty millions can only make you corrupt sick wasted and  most unwanted!

Learn your lessions! Time is not on your side!
