Just back from the Hong Kong leg of Future Ventures' initial public offer roadshow, Kishore Biyani was jet-lagged throughout Saturday morning. However, by noon, he was ready to cheer for India in the cricket world cup final at the Wankhede stadium here.
But six hours and two body blows by Lasith Malinga later, when India was at 31 for 2, it seemed a re-run of a familiar script. At the stage when India was at 114 for 3 and almost everybody thought that our 28-year wait would get longer, Biyani kept the faith and tweeted to his daughter in New York: "It's nt ovr yet."
Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MSD), India's Captain Zen, made sure it wasn't. Battling back spasms and forgettable batting form, he led fellow warriors to do a miracle in the middle. India witnessed magic.
