I am an Indian Muslim and an ardent support of our national team. Yes, it is indeed a hard-fought victory. But, let's not forget that every indian's heart was pumping more oxigen until the time Misbah-ul-Haq opted to scoop and gave us victory. It was our day and it is our destiny that we won and I agree with you that Pakistan was never in the hunt after losing 7 wickets. But, let's also not foget that they were close to victory and anything would have been possible. If we won the match (despite Joginder's inexperience), because of our cricketing abilities, then, why did we lose the match in Sharjah final 1986 when Pakistan required 4 runs for the last ball and Chetan Sharma - trying to bowl a yorker, ended up bowling a full toss which was hit for a six. The loss of that match were behind our memories and which created low-confidence in every Indian cricketer's mind that we cannot win against Pakistan. Thank God that such jinx has come to an end. Hence, I would say that India did not win the match - destiny had its final say. Now, I expect yours' and Nitin Gupta's comments.
