It’s D for Dhoni: SRK

Mumbai: Ecstatic at India’s World cup win Shahrukh Khan Sunday said that the tattoo on his hand depicting alphabet ‘D’ would now mean ‘Dhoni’.

King Khan sports the ‘D’ tattoo on his right hand for an upcoming film.

“Thank you team India. I am very happy and proud of the Indian team. We have been waiting for this moment since 1983. The ‘D’ tattoo on my hand would now change from ‘Don’ and mean ‘Dhoni’,” Shahrukh said.

“I am too happy. I congrat-ulate Sachin... and my love for Gautam and the entire team. Chak De India,” Shahrukh said.

India Fined

Calcutta: The India team has been fined for maintaining a slow overrate during the ICC World Cup final in Mumbai, against Sri Lanka on Saturday, according to a media release on Sunday. Jeff Crowe of the Emirates elite panel of ICC match referees imposed the fines after Mahendra Singh Dhoni's side were ruled to be one over short of their target at the end of the match when time allowances were taken into consideration. Dhoni was fined 20 per cent of his match fee, while his players received 10 per cent fines.

CSA applauds India

Johannesburg: Cricket South Africa (CSA) applauded Team India’s efforts saying India are the worthy World Champions.

“India are now worthy world champions in the limited overs version of the game and have brought a further major boost to the popularity of cricket around the globe,” CSA CEO Gerald Majola said in a statement.

“The victory was also a triumphant tribute to Sachin Tendulkar for his unprecedented contribution to the continued progress of cricket world-wide over the past few decades,” he added.

Bindra wishes

Chandigarh: India’s lone individual Olympic gold medal winner, Abhinav Bindra Sunday congratulated Team India for their emphatic World Cup triumph. “My heartiest congratula-tions to the Indian cricket team. A moment of pride for all of us,” Bindra said on the team’s victory. Bindra also congratulated Indian cricket team captain, M.S.Dhoni, for leading from the front.

Aamer's regret

Karachi: Suspended Pakistani pacer Mohammed Aamer said missing the World Cup due to the five-year ban imposed on him for involvement in spot-fixing will hurt him for the rest of his life. “What can I say, it wasn’t meant to be and of course, missing such a huge match hurts and will always hurt,” Aamer said.

Vaughan accuses

London: Former England captain Michael Vaughan accused Sri Lankan skipper Kumar Sangakkara of “skulduggery”.

“Sangakkara has stuffed Dhoni. He shouted tails in the first toss and lost it. You can hear it on air. I think there was a bit of skulduggery at the toss. Kumar Sangakkara knew he’d lost that first toss, but he saw Dhoni hadn't really heard him!”
