the first match that was played here was in 1994 ,between india and WI and by that time,kapil had already retired,so no way of kapil dev marking his run up and the crowd behind him..please get your facts right at least when posting something on a site that is read by everyone and how can rediff do this?
Rediff has no standards these days and I guess every tom, dick and harry can post something on rediff and they will be very happy to publish. The lady who has written this must have had scant knowledge of "North India" but she has written as if she is some travel expert. How could she feel Kapil Dev take his run up ? the fact is Kapil Dev never played at this ground. It is the cricket ground in Sector 22, Chandigarh where Kapil Dev played all his cricket. So much for the cricketing knowledge of this passionate traveler..
11 terr0r suspects had entered India disguised as cricket players with automatic guns shaped as cricket bat and explosives as cricket balls, along with a large number of handlers planning a repeat @tt@ck on Mumbai on April 2nd. But our Indian cricket team halted them at Mohali and they will be packed back to where they came from along with their handlers
It's important that we pick the best playing 11 for the Mohali and Wankhede matches and not a team that comprises of "Dhoni and friends" as has happenned in some earlier games of the World Cup !
