India win T20 world Cup

This is the 2nd major cricket event. India won the 1st ever 20-20 world cup by beating Pakistan in the final. Some observations:

i) Gautam Gambhir was the highest scorer in the final with his career best(T20 career) of 75 runs from only 53 balls. He was also the highest run-getter for India in the series with 218 runs and the 2nd highest overall.

ii)Misbah-ul-haq was the highest scorer of the series. He revived the final game for Pakistan after a racy 43 at a stage when Pakistan needed more than 50 runs off the last 5 overs. He was smashing sixes of every bowler and finally they needed 13 off the last over. After hitting another six over long-off, he needed 6 off the last 4 balls. The very next ball was flicked over short-leg and was caught by Sreesanth. It was a stupid shot and the most important catch of Sreesanth's career.

iii)Yuvraj Singh hit 6 sixes in an over versus England. India scored 218 in that match and England chased till 200. Well,Yuvraj's 58 had made the difference in the match. He also made the record of the fastest fifty in a match off only 13 balls.

iv) Shahid Afridi got the man of the series award for his 12 wickets in the series although his famed big hitting with the bat wasnt on much display.

v)Irfan Pathan was declared the manof the match in the final for his 3 crucial wickets in 2 overs that completely destroyed Pakistan's strong middle batting order.

vi) Captains MS Dhoni and Shoab Malik batted beautifully throughout the innings and were the 2nd highest scorers fo theirs respective teams.

vii) Chris Gayle hit the lone century of the innings in the very 1st match against South Africa. Inspite of his 117 with 10 sixes and WI reaching 206, SA won the match mainly due to Herschelle Gibbs' 90.

viii)Umar Gul was the highest wicket taker with his tally of 13 wickets.
