Having made history by winning the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup after a dream
final against arch-rivals Pakistan, Indian skipper M S Dhoni attributed
the victory to the team work and the desire to do well.
"Whatever is destined to happen will happen. But I believe, unless your do
the required hard work you don't achieve it.
"In this competition, we played a few games that went
down to the wire. But everyone who has done well in those crunch games, when
it mattered, will relish his performance for the team cause. It's not just my
own destiny, it was the destiny of the whole team," Dhoni said on Monday.
Dhoni said determination of the players to give their best
after a disappointing performance in the World Cup in the West Indies
paid dividends.
"We had the determination and will to do well because
we didn't do well in the last World Cup. Besides, we enjoyed this format of
the game. And since no one expected us to do well, there was no pressure. The
team showed the right attitude and gave more than hundred per cent," he
said.
Dhoni said the title win was the result of a great team effort
with players sharing each other's moments of glory.
"We enjoyed our cricket and we enjoyed each other's performance. If I
get a fifty, I am bound to enjoy it. But if my knock can get a smile on the
faces of other players in the side, it means a lot. That's what the team wants
and that's what my team did.
"It was a great team effort. There's no batsmen or bowler
who hasn't done well. And the fielding was top class. Yuvi was brilliant, RP
too bowled brilliantly, Harbhajan bowled well, everybody was great. Whoever
was given the responsibility did it to the best of his ability," Dhoni
said.
