2011 WORLD CUP IN INDIA

WRITTEN FOR POSTERITY

SARASIJ MAJUMDER



2011 One Day Cricket World cup played in INDIA, and won by INDIA—is somehow STAMPED as Dhoni’s World Cup.

If the world cup of 2011 come to your mind—Dhoni hoisting the winning 6 gets frozen in the mind.

Sure, Dhoni, who was not batting well in the event, promoted himself in the CHASE, and  played a beautifully controlled aggressive innings , and scripted the win by HOISTING THE BALL SAILED OVER MIDWICKET boundary for a six.

But, we must not forget that it was a fully team game, and all members played key roles, like in 1983.

Sachin Tendulkar: 482 runs. Also, the second highest run scorer in the tournament.

Gautam Gambhir: 392 runs. Also anchored the innings in Final. Sudden rush of blood—and he missed the Century by a few runs on the final day, and MoM award..

Virender Sehwag: 380 runs with a brilliant strike rate of 122.5. Highest individual score(175) in the tournament.

Yuvraj Singh: 362 runs and 15 wickets. Best all-rounder of the tournament

Zaheer Khan: 22 wickets. Highest wicket taker in the tournament

Virender Sehwag - Virat Kohli : Fourth highest partnership(203) in the tournament

Munaf Patel, according to the then-bowling coach Eric Simmons of India was the “unsung hero” of India's 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup victory. Munaf finished the tournament with 11 wickets, as third-highest wicket-taker for India, behind Zaheer Khan (22) and Yuvraj Singh (15).

Harbhajan Singh: Took  9 wickets economically, and broken key partnerships.

MS Dhoni: Captain of the team, who captained brilliantly.

The 2011 World Cup semi-final against India would be one of the matches Pakistan most want to forget. No one could hold on to a catch, and it  turned out to be a comedy of errors for Pakistan on the field. Tendulkar alone was dropped four times on his way to 85—on 27 by Misbah-ul-Haq,  at 45 by Younis Khan,  on 70 by Kamran Akmal, and  at 81 by Umar Akmal. During the second semi-final of 2011 Cricket World Cup, Raina batted with tailenders to score an unbeaten 36, a significant contribution to India's final tally of 260. Pakistan chased , and scored 231 to lose the Second Seminal. Those 36 runs from Raina were DECIDER.

India was a STRONG fielding side also, with two best fielders—Raina, and Yuvaraj.

Dhoni won the Man of the Match award for the game on the  final day, and Yuvaraj won man of the series award.

These are not only records. This is just a reminder that Cricket is a team game and not an individual game. Even if one of them didn’t perform well, India wouldn’t have bagged the cup.

HOWEVER--India is the only country to win the 60-Over, 50-Over and 20-Over World Cup.

  REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER What a Leader, and People can do. SARASIJ MAJUMDER   REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER— Arvari river is a small river, may be the smallest, in the ALWAR,   Indian state of Rajasthan. The 90 km.   long river flows through the Alwar District of Rajasthan. It got dried, and   was revived in 1990. It remained dry for 60 years. The turnaround started in 1986, when people of Bhanota- Kolyala village with   the help of Tarun Bharat Sangha, managed by Rajendra Singh, constructed a   JOHAD, (earthen check dam) at the source of the dried river; following this,   villages that lay in its catchment area, and along the dried river bed, they also built tiny earthen dams, the largest being a 244 mt. long and 7 mt. High Concrete dam, most of them were in the Aravalli hills; eventually when the number of dams reached 375, the river started to flow again in 1990, after remaining dry for over 60 years. Villagers talk about Arvari's rebi...

  OPERATION SINDOOR ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN SARASIJ MAJUMDER It will be difficult for Pakistan to come out of the loss it suffered in this 4-day KINETIC WAR, fought only in the airspace, involving Fighter Jets, Missiles, and DRONES as attacking weapons. Pakistan claims that J-10C jets, equipped with PL-15 missiles, were used in combat, and that they downed multiple Indian Rafale and other fighter jets. GOI has not accepted any loss of Fighter Jet. No image of Rafael lost is available. GOI is not declaring the HITS it inflicted upon Pakistan. Even then, I have pieced together the information and provided a picture. A. The expenses due to direct losses of HARDWARE may be divided into the following items: - 1.0 Fighter Jets: -- May be 10 Numbers. 4-F16 as a combat loss. 2 Nos. Mirage 2000 and 4 Nos. F16, possibly due to the hit it received when parked on the Air Bases. However, this figure could be more.   Pakistan's retired Air Marshal Masood Akhtar public...
