Shahid Khan Afridi was announced as player of the tournament for his two excellent centuries against SL and BD so there was something to cheer about for Pakistani fans.
The triumph for India adds to their continuous achievements as a nation under the impressive leadership of MS Dhoni!
This under MS includes:
-Winning the 2007 inaugural World T20 in RSA
-Gaining the no1 test spot for team India
-Winning the Commonwealth Bank series in a triangular series which also involved Australia and SL in Australia
- Winning the IPL with CSK in 2010
-Asia Cup Glory 2010
A successful captaincy it can be said with a sense of certainty!One just wonders if MS can now get his hands on the ultimate prize of the 2011 subcontinental WC next year?
