The Indian cricket caravan has rolled into Barbados, West Indies, for a tilt at the title in the ICC T20 World Cup final against South Africa. After crushing England, the defending champions in the semi-finals at Guyana, early morning, Friday, India time, there is expectation in the air.
Will skipper Rohit Sharma be able to script a fairy-tale win against the Proteas in Saturday's final is on everyone's mind.
Indeed, this edition of the World Cup has progressed at break-neck speed. The amount of travel and kind of challenges faced on different surfaces has been an acid test. That the Indian team came out firing against England in the semifinal was proof of intent, content and a killer instinct. Such aggression and passion have not been seen so often, though the mind will wander to the ICC World Cup last year, when Indian lost the ODI final to Australia in Ahmedabad.
No narration is complete without a mention of how Rohit has led the team under Rahul Dravid the coach, who is on his last assignment as Team India coach. Dravid, referred to as The Wall, has earned his place in the history books for being a super coach.
