A day in M.A Chidambaram Stadium....

I had never ever been to a stadium to see a match,so I begged my father to buy tickets,and he did.In the morning,we went there and I felt SO happy,the happiness that is not explainable had tumbled over me...Entering the stadium,I saw players who I had only seen in the T.V.The Pakistan team or the Indian Team,this was the first time seeing them live.We had gone for the India Vs Pakistan ODI 2012.Searching for the seats was not a problem.I sat there looking for players in the Indian team.My father who is a HUGE fan of cricket recognized everyone!I had mostly come to ONLY see 'Suresh Raina',my favourite cricketer!I saw him,and I just kept on staring,as this was the first time.As,they came to bat,I sat there,keeping quiet.When I saw the score 29/5,I got SO surprised,that I stopped thinking about them even getting past 100.Then,there I saw,Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni batting.My heart started pumping as it was Suresh Raina,and India could not afford any wickets any more.I started praying for him to get his 50.Then it happened,he got out on 43 out of 88 balls,I was happy as he atleast got that.Next came R.Ashwin.The partnership that Dhoni and Ashwin had formed was UNBELIEVABLE!125 out of 100 balls.I sat there staring.Then came the HUGE change in the score,India had passed 200 and I screamed as this was so unbelievable!Dhoni got his century and when they completed all 50 overs,Dhoni was at 113 for 125 balls! I stood up and clapped for him,as,I now had a belief that he could perform well,and bring marvelous scores for the Indian team!My father and I went outside and got something to eat,and then started to watch the match.India was fielding.On the first ball,a batsman went out and the crowd sitting around me started shouting and even I screamed.In the 15th over,Yuvi and Kohli stood in front of the gate I was sitting in,I shouted and both waved.I was VERY VERY happy.Then after sometime,Dinda,Raina and Viru came and they all waved at us,when Raina waved,I blushed VERY much.When Nasir Jamshed got his century,I clapped as well,after all,Pakistani's are players too.The winning run which made the opponents win,was sad for all the others,but we all went on with a happy face.As my first experience in a stadium,I took a little glimpse at Suresh Raina and went home happier then ever! I felt like sitting there the whole time looking at Suresh Raina,but I promised to come back for the IPL 2013,which will be better,as Gayle is also there.This experience is an experience I will NEVER forget,and I promise myself that! I'm so happy I got to see all the Indian players live and most of all,Suresh Raina......
