It has been a fascinating World Cup and it is tough to stop celebrating. There were several great moments that made this world cup special from the Indian point of view. Sachin top scoring amongst the batsmen, Yuvraj's man of the series performance, Zaheer's impeccable bowling and Nehra's comeback in the match against Pakistan where he fractured his finger. The most memorable moment of this world cup for me though will remain Dhoni's knock in the final game. Especially the way he finished the innings with a six and twirled the bat in the air. Then he calmly went back, picked up a stump as a memoir and simply smiled back at Yuvraj who was getting ecstatic with the realization that they were indeed the world champions! Dhoni seemed to look back at his team mate in his characteristic cool attitude as if saying "So What?...We had to win it for Sachin...remember?". That calm expression and smile on his face will remain etched in my memory forever. Only one person can probably do justice to this occasion. The Man responsible for the "Birth of the Cool" himself;the legendary Miles Davis. So here is Miles Davis and his team saying what Dhoni quite possibly said to his team mate at that momentous occasion.
