On this day: MS Dhoni leads India to World Cup triumph after 28 years of wait
India TV NewsIt's hard to forget the emotional outburst of the-then commentator, now head coach of Indian team Ravi Shastri after MS Dhoni slammed a six to end a 28-year wait for a World Cup trophy. India defeated Sri Lanka in the final of the 2011 World Cup in Mumbai, and it couldn't have been a better place to achieve the remarkable feat for the Indian cricketers - Sachin Tendulkar in particular. The heroes of the final, though, were Gautam Gambhir and MS Dhoni, and there was an understated contribution from the youngster Virat Kohli as well, after India's veteran opening duo - Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag were dismissed cheaply in the 275-run chase. The southpaw fell three runs shy of his century, while Dhoni and Yuvraj guided India to the World Cup title.
