Flip Book :  http://online.fliphtml5.com/fodvl/toay/ Not many campuses can boast of two magnificent campuses but IIM Lucknow sure can.

An Indian Fan Watching T20I at Bristol Cricket Ground


The dream of my life came true on July 8th 2018 at Bristol Cricket Ground, where I got an opportunity to watch a T20 cricket match between India and England. The moment is still alive in my thoughts while I write this post.

As part of our International Immersion program we have been to London for 50 Days, coincidentally India Tour of England also took place in the same period. The game was scheduled on a Sunday and it’s the 3rd T20I which is the decider match of the T20 series.

The magnificent form of India in the shorter formats continues. Can't remember when India last lost a T20I series. But this match was all about two men - Hardik Pandya and Rohit. And it was fitting that the duo were there at the end as India won in a hurry. The game was won and lost in the middle overs of the England innings when they stumbled against Hardik. 220 was minimum on this national highway but England were at least 25 short and that gave India the momentum in the chase. And then Rohit turned up. I will stick my neck out and say that he is a more of a match-winner than Kohli in shorter formats in recent times. And I love a controversy. So that's that.

The chase was a canter and once Rohit found his mojo against the short ball, there was no looking back and stopping him. The short dimensions of the ground helped India a great deal as well.

The experience of witnessing a match live in England is so exorbitant along with the trademark  smoked chicken in the stands. The crowd was amazingly sportive they mainly here to support the sport than to support a specific nation.

The match presentation was nerve biting especially to see MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli from such a close distance and witness the Indian team celebrating the series win with Champagne in the ground. I have followed the team till they reach the dressing room stayed there to live each and every moment till Indian team left the ground in their Team bus.

The last moment before leaving Bristol was one more epic where I crossed Marriot hotel where two team are staying and had a chance to watch both the team in the lobby area of the hotel and I was standing still watching all the superstars at a single place, I was not able to come out of that excitement even after watching them play,  watch then closely while series final presentations were going on and also stayed at dressing room till they left. I felt still the cricket lover in me need some more moments to finally finish the dream run at Bristol before o board a bus back to London.
