Awesome cricket match against IBM, we won, summer internship rox at qualcomm....

Cricket tournament going here at Hyderabad between different Company's like TCS, Kotak Mahindra, IBM, Wipro etc. and off course Qualcomm is participating in it.

Match was in a Ground with good turf but it was pretty dried up wicket so no mercy for bowler's. But if the bowler like me bowling after 5 years with new ball, the situation can be pretty bad to worse like 1st over 35 runs for no loss, with 2 boundaries in the over.

Situation was handled by Gandhi our truly deserving captain, Nitin the level headed bowler, Kaustubh Vaidya who can spin bowl like anything and last but not least Chandra who is perfectionist. IBM made 132 in 16 overs all out.

My situation was pathetic, i thought i will never play cricket anymore. But the guys were awesome they understood my situation and cheered me up Chandra, Sumit, Arun, Rajeev, Gandhi and Sandy esp.

I thought just one thing if we lost today its just because of me. But destiny had some good moments reserved for me later in the game.

Vaidya and Sumit are left hander batsmen that resemble Jaysuriya and Gambhir in their style of cricket. These guys made 72 in 8 overs, obviously in this situation we were winning very easily.
But situation changed and we were 97/4 in 14 overs, Sandy had pushed me up the order before him, now i knew this was my moment.

I and Gandhi played for another 4 overs with bringing the situation to 12 runs needed in 2 overs. I was trying to be a pinch hitter but then ball wasn't really coming, I just took singles and then Gandhi was given out as LBW but it wasn't right decision at all, "umpires decision is last decision" and we honour it.

So situation was 7 runs needed in an over, Sandy a fast runner between the wickets took a double on 1st bowl, single on second and i hit a four over the covers to lead Qualcomm to win over IBM by 5 wickets.

Ya Destiny always shows you the position where you have to take a decision, i took and got best memories of my life. A very happy ending to a very happy summer internship at Qualcomm.
