After Team India’s ICC CWC 2011 semi-final win over Pakistan in Mohali on Wednesday, the entire country will once again come to a standstill on April 2.
India is a place of numerous religions and cultures.
But after Wednesday, the entire country seems to have adopted only one religion and culture – CRICKET.
Team India are now on the threshold of a historic win that will end 28 years of yearning. If they lift the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 on Saturday against Sri Lanka, MS Dhoni and company’s name will forever be etched in golden letters in the annals of Indian cricketing history.
‘Maximum City’, is in the throes of a cricket frenzy. Everything else in this city has taken a back-seat for the moment. Whether one is travelling by local trains or sitting in a pub in Colaba, the buzz is about the strategy India should adopt against the Lankans on Saturday.

The area near the Wankhede stadium has, as expected, been turned into a war-zone with hordes of security personnel manning the streets. But this has failed to dampen the enthusiasm of people who are happy to be just standing near the stadium main-entrance gate in hope of catching a glimpse of their heores.
They sense a piece of history could repeat itself after 28 years on Saturday night. For a city that is well known for its nightlife, the party will then go on for weeks or maybe even months in case Dhoni holds aloft the ICC Cricket World Cup trophy on April 2.
