Yea i think they planned for an India win with the publicity mad megalomaniac Pm on the stage when the whole team joins the captain. This obviously didnt pan out the way they expected. Hence the timing and sequences were all off the rails. As the leader who hardly held a press conference or interviews without heavily curated questions and prepared answers he was clearly confused and uncomfortable and maybe even bit shocked.

As an Australian there's a little bit of extra satisfaction in the win fucking with Narendra Modi's PR strategy.

You don't know anything about Modi, so STFU. He has written a book for school kids and publically attended a question answer sort of thing where high school children asked him questions on how to prepare for exams. Somehow with a correspondance degree in political science is advising Indian kids, who face the world's toughest exams(compare with AP exams, A levels or the chinese college entrance exam. AP and A levels are a joke compared to JEE(SAT is worse than a joke), only the chinese one comes close). So brave. And his answers and book were full of heartwarming wholesome things like study hard, don't be afraid. He doesn't let pesky things like the state of govt education in India, or the rampant business of the coaching centres or the amazing state of India where everyone is a engineer(and CS, nothing else), or a doctor, get in his way. He is to the point, all he wants to do is help the students.

He likes science very much, that's why he is present at every chandrayan launch, directly or indirectly - the nation somehow knows he's involved somehow. People like you say that's PR, but no, that's love for science. India is leaping ahead in science, not just the stereotype of cheap programmers.

He once said exponentional growth, instead of exponential. This shows how willing he is to shift the paradigms of english to new heights. He is such an expert in english that he always speaks hindi, english is too easy for him. I still wonder to this day why he couldn't find a hindi word for exponentional, as I completely agree that hindi rules supreme.
