I feel that apart from the fact that there was young blood in the team which led the team to victory another major reason for this improved performance is the internal competiton which is now being face from indian cricket league which forced the players and their bosses to take a serious look at the performance of the team. What's your opinion?

In my view the captainship of M.S. Dhoni was undesputed as well as the sporit of players was accourding to new format of cricket.

I dont think ICL is the reason behind this victory....... There were less expectations from India... So the players can play naturally without any presure....... They are mentally tough

No.The effect of ICL has nothing to do with team India's brilliant performance In T20 . Moreover,the establishment of ICL provided players with more options so that they can jump over o ICL if BCCI ignores them.Players have no pressure over them.If there's any pressure it's on BCCI,since it has keep up to the competition. Now that the players have options,BCCI will no longer ignore quality players.The recent hike in the contract fee and inclusion of a 'D' grade class players reveals this.So players have nothing to show for the internal competition.They should be a lot relieved now. Coming to reasons for India's victory,it is the fearlessness that made them perform at their peak.They have nothing to lose on the field."No one cares if we are out of the tournament,we are new to this format and we have nothing to lose.Let's put up our best and let luck play it's spoil play."This should have been the words in players minds. With this attitude and some good performances over strong T20 teams,confidence got up and players have been completing tasks as if they have been given a home work..:). That's it....and the rest is history we all know and never we shall forget that moment when Misbah scooped a ball to Sreeshant's hands.... Chak De!India.

Well, you are right, emergence of ICL is one of factor, now ICB and PCB need to work hard to retain good players in national team Other thing, in 20 20 cup new players were inducted and they really work hard to prove their capabilities, abilities to retain in the team.
