What a game, what a tournament and finally India break all myths about Hosts not winning World Cups etc. Sreesanth's luck giving him way into the team twice and then Yuvraj's absolute splendor with bat and ball. Sachin's final call came up with Dhoni's awesome leadership. Don't forget the presence of Rajinikanth, when the DEMIGODS (Sachin & Rajini) from India are in the same stadium who can take away the cup from us?
