Tiger on the prowl @ Chennai

It was June 9'th 2007.The summer was at it's peak in Chennai.

Venue:MA Chidambaram Stadium,Chepauk,Chennai.
Event:2'nd ODI Afro-Asia Cup.

The event was more special because a Royal Bengal Tiger,known for its shrewd aggressiveness and leadership qualities is vice Captain for the Asian Team.

12:30 PM: I entered the stadium after purchasing my ticket.

1:00 PM: Settled down and started dreaming about How this Tiger would attack the African Safari in Chennai.

1:20 PM:The crowd started to shout as if the sky was falling and when I glanced at the pavillion,the Tiger was walking towards the centre of the ground to practice.

It was one of happiest moments in my life watching my most fav.cricketer from a distance of 20 feet.Watching him play at nets was a treat.His bat lift,the stylishness in his batting,his concentration..no words to express.

2:30 PM: Match started.Sehwag and Jayasurya began the innings.When Jayasurya got our for 11 in 7'th over..the whole ground began shouting.Should I tell you the reason??

3:15-6 PM: One of the most happiest times in my life.Watching Dada play.His trade mark boundaries,his foot work against spinners..wah!Kyaa scene hai!!
