What could be the best way to start its second term for PGP-11? No prizes for guessing! The obvious answer is Cricket(T-20) world cup final between India and Pakistan. The stage for an amazing rollercoaster ride was set and the only thing in everyone's mind was 5:30 pm.
With herculean efforts, the setup to screen the match in the Audi was completed. The match started with India batting first and PGP guys clapping and shouting with every boundary scored by the team. Though India couldn't stand up to the expectations of its over-enthusiastic fans, it ended up securing a decent total which finally helped it become the world champion. The PGP10/11 students worked equally hard as they kept running from the audi to the mess to counter the interruptions caused due to network issues. The attendance at Audi and Mess surpassed all the previous records at IIMK.
Kudos to Gautam Gambhir and Irfan Pathan who both played beautifully and brought India back everytime it was under pressure. Some of the PGP guys are waiting for Sreesanth to come back to Kerala to honour him for his breathtaking bowling during the final overs. :-)
As the last Pakistani wicket fell, the scene at the IIMK mess suddenly started resembling a festival. People went wild congratulating each other and many of them went live on their mobiles sharing the excitement with their distant loved ones. Hats off to the men in blue who thrashed the attacks of big names like Australia, South Africa, Pakistan and England even without their top three batsmen. With this historic win, we have once again proved that we are second to none in the cricketing world.

Great match. But the only regret was that the cable went off with around 4 overs to go. But it was fun getting the scores updated via the phone :)zz
