The victorious Indian team was felicitated at Delhi. The U 19 players Virat Kohli and Pradeep Sangwan were also present.
Sharad Pawar, Arun Jaitley, Vijay Mallya, Bhindra were also present and the Ferozshah Kotla ground was jampacked.
"The Bajji fiasco brought the whole team together" declared Yuvraj. The whole fought like one unit and triumphed over the mighty Aussies !
"India's method paid off " said Ricky Ponting. Earlier the Indian selection had come under severe criticism when they dropped Ganguly and Dravid. Dhoni and the selectors took bold decisions, favouring youth for experience. Youth plus the experience of Sachin finally paid off. Can we say this is more or less the T20 team + Sachin's genius ?
DCA gave 2.5 lakhs to the Delhi boys, Virat Kohli, Sangwan of U19 and Gautam Gambhir, Ishant Sharma and Sehwag !
Each member of the victorious team got 58 lakhs.
More money is in the offing as the contracts of the players like Ishant Sharma, Praveen Kumar by IPL is expected to be 30 lakhs !
More monetary encouragement should mean more professionalism. Let us hope both Teen India ( U19 ) and Team India keep playing to their potential. India is already second in ODIs and 4th in Tests !
"I scored some good runs" said Sachin. He had scored 399 runs and Gautam Gambhir scored 440 runs. Gambhir got 2 checks, one for 58 lakhs and another 2.5 lakhs !
