Congratulation to the Indian cricket team! The cricket games took place in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The opening ceremony took place in Bangladesh. The opening ceremony was certainly a grand affair! Good work to all of those who helped put it together! It was quite beautiful and enjoyable to watch! There were all sorts of dances and musical performances that were a feast to the eyes and ears. It\u2019s rumored to have cost around thirty million dollars and it sure looked like it:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eSH_jK3vC3M<\/p>\n<p>The official song of the 2011 Cricket World Cup was De Ghumaa Ke (\u0926\u0947 \u0918\u0941\u092e\u093e \u0915\u0947). The title of the song means \u201cSwing It Hard\u201d. How appropriate for the occasion! In addition to Hindi, there was a Bangla and Sinhalese version of the song. It was created to have some elements of an Indian folk song, but with a modern twist to it. The song was performed at the opening ceremony. It\u2019s quite catchy!<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5COrgbw2BD0<\/p>\n<p>I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised to see Bryan Adams sing his quintessential \u201cSummer of 69\u201d song. I think the Cricket Committee was aiming to please the Western crowd. They made a good choice and the song went without a hitch.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BXn8iCk8QSQ<\/p>\n<p>India defeated Sri Lanka by six wickets. When news got out that India won over Sri Lanka, there was a joyful jubilation in the streets of India and in places like London, where a large Indian population resides. Basically Indians from all parts of the world were celebrating:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Celebration Time for Indians Across The World\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hgkTyJfklj4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Initially India was only scheduled to host the final game. However, Pakistan lost its host status when some security issues arose over Pakistan\u2019s ability to provide a safe venue for the games. As a result, India was able to host twenty nine matches, which significantly contributed to the Indian economy. This World Cup Cricket title is India\u2019s second. If anything, this 2011 World Cup Cricket competition reaffirmed that the Indian cricket team is a solid team. The two men that really contributed to India\u2019s wins are Yuvraj Singh and Zaheer Khan. Here are some highlights of India\u2019a victory over Sri Lanka:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vM0PpvFL_28<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2011 Cricket World Cup concluded with India defeating Sri Lanka.
