NEWS IN BRIEF – SPORTS, TERRORISM
Indian Cricket team management said that it gave tribute to 26/11 victims and martyrs by sacrificing its easy win against England.
"We actually could have easily finished English team in 3 days. However, to pay tribute to 26/11 martyrs we decided to stay unhappy and less motivated," said Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India's captain.
He said "It was our duty to remain less inspired and unenthusiastic today. Otherwise Bhajji could have easily scored a century in the first session of the match. Besides that the cricket pitch was also bad."
Answering the relationship between the disastrous incidence of 26/11 and loss against England, Dhoni said "Actually, it was the lack of motivation when we remembered that unfortunate event led us to the losing battle against England. We wanted to pay tribute by sacrificing something. Otherwise we are the best team in the world. We can easily beat England in England, Australia in Australia, so the best tribute was something to sacrifice which we do in a routine and effortless job. Therefore we decided to lose the match today."
Dhoni also confirmed that the team has decided to remain sluggish whenever it will remember those miserable events in the Indian history.
"Next time we would be defeated when we would remember Bhopal Gas Tragedy," said Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
