Some people have a lot of time on their hands. A forward is doing the rounds in Indian circles seemingly positing why we won the World Cup this year. You see the last (and only) time the tournament was played when January 1 was a Saturday was... you guessed it, 1983. The email goes on to say that there is one element that 'ties' together all of captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's tournament victories. In the 2007 World Twenty20 won by India, we tied the league match against Pakistan. In the 2010 IPL edition, the Chennai Super Kings tied Kings XI Punjab in a league match before going on to win the whole thing. In the 2010 Twenty20 Champions League, yep you guessed it, the Chennai Super Kings tied a league game with Victoria and in the just concluded World Cup, we tied England in the Group Stages before winning the Final. Many people say Dhoni is a lucky captain. Now you know why!
