Not the end after all...
Mr.kohli does it for India,showing everyone why we are the "World Champions". A good smack on the face for the Sri Lankan team,yet again.
321 off 40 overs is one thing.Finishing it off in 36.4 is quite another. That too after losing Tendulkar and Sehwag very early on and at the fag end of a summer full of disappointment and discontent. An asking rate so ridiculous that it bordered on the impossible brought something out of India that hasn't been seen overseas from quite a long time. This team is capable of pulling off outrageous feats when they are clicking, and boy - have they clicked. This is an epic moment in India's ODI cricket history.
We must be sure to keep an eye out for that man Virat Kohli. He's going to topple some batting records along the way.
Sri Lanka won't know what's hit them. This is an absolute train-wreck of a defence. To come out and take this pounding after scoring 320 against a ragged bowling attack.
In the words of Virat Kohli, who has been the given the "Man of the Match" and deservedly so,
"To be able to chase 320 in 40 overs in a must win game, and put that sort of a batting effort together was a great team effort. I committed a few mistakes in the last games after getting to 20 and 30, trying to middle every ball, which doesn't happen always in international cricket. This shows our character as a team, and how well we can execute our plans. It is about working hard and sticking in there. We will be rooting for Australia in Friday. This is a special feeling, probably my best one-day innings so far."
Very nicely put,indeed,by Mr.Kohli,who at the moment seems in the making of a perfect future captain for the Indian team.
Just a reminder, here, that India are not yet in the final. A Sri Lankan win, or a tie, or a wash-out in the final league game will take Sri Lanka ahead of India on points.If Australia win that match, India will go through though they are tied with SL on points. India are 2-1 up on SL on head-to-head now, with one tie.
Wonder how Australia will approach the last game now. They have found Sri Lanka unbeatable recently, but India's just shown them how it is done.

Why is Monday most hated?
Ah! obviously coz it's the first day after your very relaxing and no work pressure day "SUNDAY".You're back to your dreaded office and the same people.Sitting on that most uncomfortable chair, doing the work for which you're hardly appreciated!
And you wonder "why are there only 2 weekend days and 5 weekdays??" Argh! So unfair. Whoever made the calendar, was one sadist or big workaholic.
Anyway,however much we complain, grumble, write dirty about it on our blogs, it's not gonna end, unless you're a multi millionaire and you don't need to work, but that's the plight of us "Not poor but not rich enough either" middle-class people.
No wonder,it's called "MOANDAY", and rightly so. *loud sigh*
