If this question was Asked 2 weeks ago, I would Probably go with Blue! But Today as an Indian I would wish to Have 'Luck'. Its not because I have lost faith in this Indian Team, but above all its a game, here there is no point in believing blunders like "India lost to Newzeland in 2007 T20 WORLD CUP, Chris Gayle scored a 100 in 2007 WC and rest is History and all",What plays here is Pressure, Pressure of the Game, Pressure of being an Indian more importantly. If we say, just like as in our  textbooks and all, Today the Pressure could be divided into 3 sections ;- First one is Nothing but,   Pressure of Defeat, Which was created by another Defeat Indeed.

This Time both the teams are playing the series under a banner name "GANDHI-MANDELA SERIES" , a tribute to  greatest ever legends Mahatma Gandhi & Nelson Mandela. Like the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, like the Ashes, I am damn sure this Series is also going to be a special one. This is not just because India & South Africa meeting against eachother,but also under a name of 2 legends the presence of World class Players like Dhoni,Kohli,Devilliers,S...

Years later he is given a chance to salvage his reputation, when he is offered the position as coach of the Women's Hockey Team. At last he winning it for India as a coach! You all know about it, so there is no need of further explanation. No Indian can't forget this movie, because of the feel of patriotism we get from this movie is so high, especially from the song "  Chak de! Ho chak de India… Chak de! Ho chak de India… Chak de! Ho chak de India…" After a month, the same song heard in the wanders, Johanesburg Stadium Along with the Presence of SRK waving the Indian Flag with the lines.
