Once again history was created but this time in Mumbai. Everyone was waiting for long and the time came after 28 years when Men in Blue repeated the miracle what Kapil Dev did in 1983. Year 2011 is turned out to be the glorious for Indian sports. Indian team won the ICC cricket world cup after beating Sri Lanka by 6 wickets. Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni played the innings of his lifetime. After regular failures in this world cup, he promoted himself to 3rd down and it worked favourably to India. India was chasing a mammoth total of 275 which was never chased in the world cup final ever before. Earlier Indian opening batsman Gautam Gambhir scored a wonderful 97 when Sachin and Sehwag were lost before 50 runs. That was a real crucial stage of the game and Gambhir played outstanding knock in pressure. Gambhir got the right man for his support there, the name was Virat Kohli. 83 runs partnership between them was the match winning. Later Dhoni and Yuvraj did splendid job by making over 100 runs without losing any chance for the Sri Lankans.
India is champpion.....Well Done India.
