* Team India's historic win sends cricket-lovers into a frenzy

As M.S.Dhoni's magical hit soared into the stands at the Wankhede Stadium scripting a historic win for team India, the calm summer Saturday night in the city was shattered with the screams of fans surging onto the roads from homes, pubs, restaurants and hotels.

The boisterous crowds were out chanting Jai Ho' as they zipped across on their two-wheelers and cars jamming the city roads. Of course, the ubiquitous tri-colour fluttered and held high by the youngsters as their vehicles zoomed towards the Tank Bund - the epicentre of Hyderabadis' celebrations.

Rockets zoomed into the dark sky from the nook and corner of the city. The joy of the people knew no bounds and it was expressed with the parents carrying their kids on the shoulders dancing and the young men and women hugging each other to relish the victory.
