This day in 2011: Dhoni leads India to World Cup title after 28 years
Mumbai, April 2: "Dhoni finishes off in style. A magnificent strike into the crowd! India lift the World Cup after 28 years!" this commentary by Ravi Shastri of M.S. Dhoni after the latter led India to a win in the 2011 World Cup final at the Wankhede Stadium with a humongous six off Sri Lanka pacer Nuwan Kulasekara still reverberates in the ears of millions of Indians.
With that six, Dhoni had fulfilled the long-cherished dreams of batting legend Sachin Tendulkar, who had all the batting records to his name in international cricket except his hands at the World Cup trophy. The Master Blaster had waited 22 years for lifting the trophy and on April 2, 2011, his dream was finally fulfilled.
