An inspired India on Saturday night regained the coveted World Cup after 28 years as they suppressed Sri Lanka with a six-wicket victory in a nerve-wrecking inal to script a glorious new chapter in their cricketing history.
Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, in a special display of courage and gamble, played the innings of his life to inspire India defeat Sri Lanka by six wickets and win the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 title after 28 years at Wankhede Stadium of Mumbai on Saturday.
Two good innings proved enough for the hosts to create history as they become the first team to win World Cup title at their home ground. Guatam Gambhir (97 from 122) and MS Dhoni (91 not out from 79) played superbly against one of the most disciplined bowling attacks in the cricket world to help India achieve a stiff 275 runs target in front of the packed Wankhede Stadium.
we were the champs...look at the present team playing overseas..Who would say that we won the world cup?
