ms dhoni leads india to 6 victory over sri lanka pedestrian in the final: icc world cup 2011
ms dhoni led his team to a historic victory after beating sri lanka by six wickets in the final of the icc world cup 2011, wankhede stadium in mumbai. The hosts chased the target of 275 runs in 48.2 overs as the crowd in the place erupted with joy.
India not had an ideal start today, as they lost their opening pair of sachin tendulkar stars and virender sehwag early. Sehwag was sent back to the pavilion in just the second delivery of inputs, without adding a single run to the total.
Soon after, the master blaster has shed as sri lanka beat lasith malinga, to further complicate things for the home team. The veteran batsman, who was playing his last world cup match, failed to make an impression today. He left after adding 18 runs a total of 14 balls.
This brought young gautam gambhir and kohli together in the center. The couple have not lost patience and batted sensibly. Followed by rotating the strike, which kept the scoreboard ticking. Both hitters collected 83 runs for the third pedestrian and led his team to safety.
However, kohli went after scoring 35 runs in 49 balls with the help of four fours. His fall brought the indian captain ms dhoni to the crease, who had a best score of 34 in world cups before this match.
Both gambhir and dhoni ensured that india did not lose more windows and guided his team to a match-winning position with a brilliant stand of 109 runs for the window room. The left-handed hitter was then fired, scoring a mighty blow of 97 races from 122 balls. He deserved a century but have been pleased with his performance.
However, the indian captain does not lose its focus and remained unbeaten until the end with a grand slam for 91 runs 79 balls. He struck eight fours and two massive sixes in his blistering call, which earned him the prize, the game player.
Yuvraj singh, who scored an unbeaten 21 today, was named player-of-the-series for his efforts in all directions in the mega event.
The sri lankan bowling was below par in the game today. Lasith malinga only seemed to threaten the new ball, picking up two wickets.
