"I never expected India to win T20 world cup," has been the reaction of a number of Indian fans after the Titanic T20 final. India was only one T20 match-old when it entered the competition, and nobody thought India would qualify for semis. But things turned dramatically after Yuvraj's blitzkrieg innings against the Englishmen and the performance graph of the Indian team since then soared only in one direction - North. That's what a young team does with young ideas, new methods and fearlessness.

Good for a young captain to win his first series, and that too a big one. It doesn't matter whether India won it or Pakistan gave it (as pointed out by many that Pakistan were unlucky) as it is the victory that matters. I feel a bit for Pakistan, who have put up a brave show and almost pulled off a great victory. But credit to Indian bowlers who were brilliant and especially captain cool Dhoni was outstanding. He was fantastic, switched bowlers cleverly and used his resources very well.

Having said this, the future is going to be tough for Dhoni as he will be handling about four seniors who have ego problems.

I believe that the pressure factor from the media and the people back home is playing havoc on Indian performance. So, my appeal to media is to give Dhoni some time and don't hype the Indian team whenever they beat a big team or score heavily in one Test.

Finally, I have this small sentiment of changing houses whenever India is in a pressure situation, and it always paid off. This time again, I watched the first half in Koti in my friend's house (of course! took the permission of my boss) and the second half in my home. I told my friend that India would win if I change house, and it is proved correct again.
