Cricket consumes Delhi
On Monday, work took a back seat but for a good reason. Cricket crazy Delhi residents rushed home to watch the grand finale between India and Pakistan.
By 4 pm, office-goers and college students made a beeline for bus stands, metro stations and parking lots. The roads were filled with people anxiously discussing the outcome of the final match.
Those who took a half-day leave from office did not face any hostility from their bosses who were happy enough to oblige. “Today I knew lying or giving some lame excuse would not work, so I clearly told my boss that I wanted to leave early to watch the match. Surprisingly he gladly agreed and even discussed our team’s chances of winning,” said Akshay Chandra, an investment banker.
For Delhi University (DU) students it was a day to paint their faces in national colors and cheer for India. Many bunked classes and went in large groups to watch the match at pubs and places where large screens were put up for the occasion.
“This is like the holy grail of all cricket matches, I would not miss it for the world. My friends and I bunked classes and came to PVR Priya to watch the match on big screen,” said Anuj Sachdev, a DU student. At Priya, every time the Indian team fired a six or a four or took a wicket, the crowd of almost 1000 people roared and shouted slogans cheering the team.
Even the Babudom was caught in the cricket frenzy. Most government offices were empty by five in the evening. “My colleagues were anxious to get home. Most of them rushed off from the office by five. Even our neighboring offices were empty by five,” said Mausam Chakrabarti, a government employee.
Some people complained of getting delayed and missing the Indian innings because the traffic on the roads was affected due to the match. “I missed the starting of the first innings as there was a lot of traffic on Delhi Gate and ITO. I have not seen so many vehicles on road at this time of the day,” said Rohit Raj a chartered accountant.

Mehmood Khan Pathan prays at his Vadodara home before the match. His sons Irfan and Yusuf are only the third pair of brothers to play in a World Cup final after the Chappells & Waughs.

Congrats India. And I can imagine the euphoria the Indian nation is into right now.
I hope this will be a revival of sub-contenant cricket in a new way.

Re: Indian Media goes berserk…
^DAWN downplays India’s victory…displays the news in a side column…and thinks “Cricket is the Winner” (not India :))

Re: Indian Media goes berserk.....
^Nada... Only Dawn has one article by Kamran Abbasi titled "Cricket is the winner", not even the mention of finals in The Nation, The News, and Jang. In fact, The News is already reporting about how Bracken is going to miss the India tour ;-)

Re: Indian Media goes berserk…
I don’t see much wrong with that headline…and I think you know what they really mean here. It does not take anything away from a fascinating win by India who held their nerve till the very end. We don’t have to see negative in everything. Cricket was definitely the winner yesterday after a nerve-shredding tight encounter that went to the wire and one wrong shot selection is all that it took to separate the two teams. The game was played in the right spirit with both sides battling it out till the last over. It was n’t like India outplayed Pakistan. If India had won overwhelmingly I am sure the headline would have been very different.
Re: Indian Media goes berserk.....
anybody have a video of the celebrations after the win?
