Dec 18th 2006. Its truly a historic day for INDIAN cricket.
Sreesanth had been in limelight for his dance on the field, for his spell of 8/99, the aggression etc.
Chappell,Dravid,Smith,Sourav,Gavaskar,Shastri,Harsha Bhogle and Donald all admitted he is a livewire in the field. Emails had been floating around with clipings showing his dance after he hit Andre Nel for a six.
These are all the known facts in the last few days.
But something went unnoticed in the thick of actions.
Not for Ravi Shastri though. He watched Sreesanth a day before the match started and in the morning of the match day in elevator... both the occasions Sreesanth was holding the cricket ball in his hand tightly. Later he revealed that it was Greg Chappell who had asked him to get used to this kind of cricket balls - 'kookaburra'.
This guy went one step further started holding it all the time he is awake.
He told ESPNStar later that he wanted to get used to the feel and grip of the ball and so he did like that and carried the cricket ball all the time.
Rest is all history now. It had done wonders.
Whats in it for us? Simple.
It shows how we need to cling on to our dreams. Its not just having dreams alone that is enough. We need to keep thinking about it all the time, all the place.
The more closer we have it to our hearts, the more closer we get to reach success.
The more tightly and strongly we stand by it, the more easily we come out as winner.
Lets keep dreaming and hold on to it till we make it come true.
Come what may !
BIG CONGRATS TO TEAM INDIA ON THIS STUPENDOUS FEAT !!!
