1) 9th MARCH 2025 will go down in the annals of Cricket history the Scintillating Victory Rohit Sharma Captain achieved with a thundering 4 wicket win over the dangerous Black Cats NewZealand,as they are called by their attire. Especially after their magnificent victory over mighty South Africa team 2 days before with such unimaginable,mindboggling over 350 run score, believe me,any Team,sensing such Himalayan Totals would have buckled under mental pressure & awesome figures so hard to crack, yet SA with tremendous diligence ,Captain Bhuvama set the tone & tenor with a brilliant Century ,then a decline & collapse of 5 wickets, yet streaming thro 100,then 200,250,with MILLERs 100 catapulted to more than 305 or so,Brave comeback,not a deadly collapse, but a return Fightback , which few such encounters only would have witnessed in Cricket records.
2)So too,commentaries today morn in various channels mentioned ,it is NOT ALL THAT EASY to defeat NZ & dingdong situations may arise in the course of fair 50 overs WC Champion Trophy 2025 at Dubai.As I observed in earlier release deprecating unnecessary criticism of Rohit Sharma,not rising to the situation as a Captain,time for him to go etc,the RECORDS of Rohit,when I read with tears of Joy,one by one shown on 2 TV Channels , looked Diamond-studded accolades.which is beyond the reach of ordinary cricketeers but only the dashing,consistent,Leader to carve & mould his team to pinnacles of glory & perform miracles on field with the willow in all Formats of cricket.No wonder ,one by one retire from Select brand of Cricket & stick to & continue in few only.
3) Indeed the thrashing & steady upbeat of Opening stance between Rohit & SubhmanGill, Rohit stormed thro with 6s which he alone in the start takes risks & crowd lilting with joy,cheers, applause & dance & ovation, Century stand indeed gave the confidence to India though some faltered, slow rate of scoring causing mindtremors & pessimism,Optimist invented the Aeroplane & Pessimist invented the Parachute.Luckily even after some wickets fell,Gill modest score,Shocking Virat Kohli tho staring at Umpire gone out for 1,everreadyConfident ShreshIyer moving with technical expertise contribution picking up but fell for 48,short of 2 for 50, Axar Patel as allrounder always in good books but slow, palpitation for us all & the CROWD with herd mentality worried of dithering,then KLRahul brilliant,few perhaps remember his IPL Record breaking speed which that IPL & IPL alone exhibits , tortoise becomes hare ,as even scores get massive year after year ,no longer 150,180,200 but even 250,270 with some IPL teams gayabandon 4s & 6s as a Fountainspring.WA, WAIT for 22nd MARCH 730PM .I had circulated the full 2 month schedule long before .
4)Then started good batting of KLRahul,Hardik came few hits ,tension reduced as RUNS needed & Balls to be bowled showed so fast in Dubai Stadium, even showing full Field Placement to enable us revise Cricket parlance & friends, Names too indicated,what more.Tech is Tech.AI will make more inroads perhaps. Slowly lull disappeared , India sensing,racing to Victory,as is customary the Allrounder Jadeja ,who stole the show in IPl Final,when HM,son Jay Shah,plus bigwigs of Gujarat Titan then present knew Gujarat was at hairbreadth victory over Chennai Superkings & when they knew Hardiks Gujarat Team will win,round of cheers etc,But Destiny quirk occurred with unexpected JADEJA fount of Confidence ,last ball he legglanced whatever bowler was advised he tried to do,but Jadejas wonderful touchmagical glance ball glided to 4 & CSK won.SO too Dubai with 1 over left,49th Jadeja last ball hit a Magical 4 ,when it kissed Boundary line, LO ,entire Stadium stood in appreciation OF team ROHIT INDIA defeated NZ ,with record 3 times 2000,2003 & after 12 years now 2025. CT, Rest of joy,jubilation, handshakes, embrace, legion of photographers,to be seen to be believed
