Dear Mahender Singh Dhoni,
The magnificent win, which team India under your able Captaincy pulled off in Mumbai to lift the ICC World Cup, would certainly go down in the annals of Indian Cricket, for all times to come.
The nation prayed with a bated breath, and millions of hopes, aspirations, and dreams, were put on the able shoulders of your team members and your goodself, which came true in the most exciting contest of the entire tournament.
In what seemed to be a lost opportunity initially, when we lost the two opening batsmen most unexpectedly, the finesse, calm, and remarkable skills, with which the batting order progressed subsequently, to turn the tide in our favor, was indeed an excellent source of inspiration for each one of us.
Certainly, besides that great performance which left millions of fans spellbound and created mass hysteria, the art to keep our nerves in check and maintain focus, despite all odds, which ultimately enabled such a superb outcome, was not lost among all those, who would otherwise be battling similar kind of situations, in their everyday lives.
While the next ICC World Cup may be four years away, yet I am sure that this feat would relive itself millions of times each day, as and when millions of your fans like me, are able to pull off small victories in our everyday lives under similar situations, all thanks to the inspiration provided by team India under your able Captaincy.
Undoubtedly, there is much more to this performance for all of us, than mere entertainment!
And finally, I an alumni of Jawahar Vidya Mandir School Ranchi, where I spent two of the most memorable years of my student life, feel proud to belong to a fraternity of its former students, the most distinguished of all, is none other than your goodself!
With Best Wishes
