Yes!! great performance by the boys, totally incredible.
Pujara was awesome, tremendous effort from his to take us through to the finals.
And Tiwary my boy, having a fantastic season with the bat and highest average of all. Yet another brisk knock of 62.
Well feeling for Pujara as he deserved to complete his 100 but just fell short by one run.
And by the time these two left, the work was really easy for Jaffer and Manhas and they did it so easily in the end, loved to see Tahir getting owned.:D
 
Wow! India! Magnificent presentation Varun. The captions for pics are also really nice. Well done Indians!

Would love to see Haarithan's reaction on India's victory :p
 
An intense rivalry between me and him, actually b/w India and England has been going on since last season or two and it's kinda fun, keeps this interesting.
We both love each other's team gotta owned and I have had the better experience.:D

Nonsense better experience ! We've been top of the test rankings for 3 successive seasons , second in ODIs for 3 seasons , 2nd in t20 for one season and 4th in the other . And you call that a better experience ??

This won't lie (check all format's rankings)

Lol its too one sided to be even considered a rivalry man .
England 9-0 India in rankings
England 3-0 India in tours .
Except for the North south war (which you beat me only by marginal NRR) , our boys have always fared better than you . So , please come back with the proper stats :p

I'll be supporting India for the finals, they beat us in a close-ish game and since they made it to the finals they have to go all the way from here.

Thanks for the support Riz.

Also Haari, that was just one off series where I took T20's as a joke and all that and since rankings carries from one season to another, therefore you had the advantage.
 
I haven't followed this league much but it seems an incredible performance from a 5th ranked team to beat the no.1 team. Well done India A!
 
India A aren't really fifth. I haven't updated the rankings since the last round of group stage. :p
