A moment to cherish: Sachin Tendulkar celebrates with one of his longtime fans, Sudhir Gautam​

Sachin Tendulkar walked out of the changing room and gestured to Sudhir Gautam to come up. Gautam is the thin man with the shaven head - for the past few weeks adorned with a replica of the World Cup - and body covered in the Indian tri-colour. For at least half a decade now, Gautam has been Tendulkar's biggest fan, waving the Indian flag and blowing his conch shell at every venue Tendulkar plays. Today, Tendulkar decided to repay Gautam for his devotion.

No sooner had he realised that Tendulkar was calling, than Gautam jumped the electronic advertising hoarding and skipped up the 30-odd stairs on to the corridor of the Indian changing room. All through his short journey he screamed in delight. Tendulkar shook hands with him, then embraced him and finally asked one of his team-mates to get the World Cup trophy. Zaheer Khan brought the cup outside with utmost care and held it tight. Gautam almost snatched it out of his hands but Zaheer held on. Eventually Zaheer let go and Gautam lifted the Cup with both hands, screaming "India". Tendulkar could not help but smile; he started clapping and was joined by a few of his team-mates. The sweat on Tendulkar's face glistened under the floodlights, enhancing his joy of winning the World Cup .

It was a day when the common man felt he was part of something special, when the gap between fan and superstar was bridged, with Gautam becoming the envy of fellow fans as he freely slipped in and out of the most sought after place in India, the team's dressing room.

What's that under the cup?

Edit: OK, my bad. It might be someone sitting in the background.

While we celebrate this moment we should not forget the contributions of players like Ganguly, Dravid, Kumble, Laxman and people like John Wright who helped form the foundation of this team. It's been an effort of last ten years, transforming it from a one man show to a real team.

Rightly said.. They started the journey and our Great Guru Gary helped us at last evening's destination. We should also not forget the other support stuff like Paddy Upton, the mental conditioning coach, who has done a tremendous job with the boys. Although Eric Simons, the bowling coach may now have to work a bit more with them in view of some indifferent bowling spells much too frequently for my liking. Anyway here's to all former mentors... (represented by Kumble, lol)
