Flaunt the men in blue

Almost a year and decade have passed since the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007, West Indies.Still, I can remember it like yesterday and as a fifth class student then, that World cup was special as my childhood hero & favourite player  Rahul Dravid was captaining the star-studded Indian team.But all the joy that knew no bounds ended within two weeks when World Cup favourites surprisingly ended their campaign in the first round itself after suffering a shocking loss to minnows Bangladesh followed by Srilanka on Mar 23,2007.That Friday was a mournful one as still, I could remember that dreadful night with shedding tears of mine.That not only ended India’s World Cup campaign but also Dravid’s quest to claim the Cup.Post his retirement, he began to coach India-A & under-19 boys and nurturing young talents.His hard work & dedication has finally reaped into the fruit as new history is rewritten on (3.2.2018) as the under-19 boys led by Prithvi Shaw led  India to its 4th Under-19 World Cup title.This day will cherish in the memories of these young Turks forever as they jump on to their another phase of their life the national team.Dravid could not achieve it as a player way back in 2003 when they had a chance against Australia in finals nor could he do it in 2007 while he captained.Finally, a bunch of young boys mentored by him gifts him a World Cup.Lightning can strike twice traces its meaning to 2007 World Cup in Caribbean Islands as 2018 Calendar is same as that of 2007.Happy tears seeing Dravid lift the world cup, the wait is over at last.Hope to see a lot of players from this team representing national side soonGreatness begins here#jammyforevrr#bleedblue#U-19 WC Champions.
