15 yrs ago, India won ICC Cricket World Cup after 28‑yr wait

Sachin hit his final peak with that World Cup win. ODIs have lost their sparkle – the only reason they matter now is that India hasn't won one. Once we clinch the ODI World Cup again, the format will be dead. Tests > T20s > ODIs.

Time really flies, doesn't it?

The way he kept watching the ball

The way his bat swung after the over

The way YUVI hugged him

Ravichandran's voice

These are the four things I can't forget

Took a stroll down memory lane with this video... I can still see everyone from our apartment building coming out and dancing.

All of us kids, our older cousins and parents were over the moon. My cousins and I grabbed our bats and played cricket in the gully for an hour. Nobody cared about getting out; we just reenacted the final moments, kept chatting about how thrilling the match was, talked about Harbhajan crying and Gambhir's jersey getting stained.

I remember that night so clearly. As a kid I was overjoyed – life wasn't always happy, but moments like that lit up my world.

I really hope, maybe dreaming too much, that Rohit and Kohli lift the cup again. That would bring the biggest smile I've ever had watching this sport. Thanks for reminding me of this post; you brought back a core memory!

Thala for a thousand reasons.

Good old days and sweet memories.
