In a couple of hours, the first match of the ICC Cricket World cup commences with the hosts India and Bangladesh pitted against each other.
Indians are crazy for cricket, which is a world known phenomenon now. No matter how much we fight against each other on the basis of religion, caste and other things, we all come together as one nation to watch, cheer and play cricket.
Lots of hopes of millions of Indians are pinned to the Indian cricket team and they are perhaps under pressure to bring home the much coveted world cup. I really wish and pray that India at least comes to the final and then win the cup. Watching India in a final against the arch rivals (no points for guessing their name, you all know it very well :-)) is just like watching a war game and adrenaline running high.
Today the road would be empty as everybody would be glued to their television sets and they will cheer the team and create a wonderful atmosphere. My husband often talks to himself about the missed catches or the wrong decision given by the umpire. I am sure he will have something to say today too.
I wish team India all the very best and I look forward to watch them outshine other teams and win home the glory of the world cup!
Yeah! three cheers to India India!!
