India Wins World Cup 2011 - "We Are The Champions!"

April 2, 2011 was the important day in the history of Cricket World Cup. I was watching Match at home with my friends having popcorn, drinks, saw many fans in a capacity 33,000 crowd had piled into Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium hoping to see Tendulkar to score his 100th international century and 49th in one-day cricket on his home ground.

But instead the star batsman, bidding to fulfi l a lifelong ambition by winning the World Cup at his sixth and, in all likelihood, last attempt, was dismissed for a modest 18. Earlier it had seemed that Tendulkar and India might be outshone by a masterful century from Sri Lanka’s Mahela Jayawardene, who made 103 not out in a highly competitive total of 6-274 after Sri Lanka won the toss and batted.


Millions of Indian fans around the world were stunned when, in reply, explosive opening batsman Virender Sehwag was lbw for a second-ball duck to Lasith Malinga.
