ICC World Cup 2011: Dhoni, Sachin tip at massage table ahead of Yuvraj
On April 2, 2011, Team India won the World Cup (ICC World Cup 2011 Win) for the second time. The Indian team led by MS Dhoni became the world champion after 28 years.
New Delhi. April 2... This date is very special for Team India's fans and its players as India won the World Cup (ICC World Cup 2011 Win) for the second time in 2011 on the same day. Team India had won the distinction of becoming world champions after 28 years by defeating Sri Lanka in the final match played at wankhede stadium in Mumbai.
Gautam Gambhir scored 97 and skipper MS Dhoni scored an unbeaten 91 to make Team India the world champion. The Indian team achieved the target of 275 runs in the 49th over. There have been many incidents that may have been remembered by every person so far, but we tell you about some of the accounts that very few cricket fellows would know.
The World Cup final was tossed twice. In fact, the match referee could not hear in the toss for the first time what the Sri Lankan captain had asked for? Then match referee Jeff Crowe tossed again and Sangakkara won the toss and elected to bat first.
While MS Dhoni is known for his accurate DRS review, Yuvraj Singh saved Dhoni by a big mistake in the final. Yuvraj Singh's ball against Tilan Samaraweera in the 39th over was an LBW appeal which was denied by umpire Simon Toefl. Dhoni too had decided not to take drs but Yuvraj Singh insisted the Indian skipper was strengthened on taking DRS and the result went in India's favour.
Sachin Tendulkar was out for 18 in the final match and was then sitting at the massage table in the pavilion. Sachin Tendulkar did not see Indian batting in the final match. He sat at the same massage table throughout the innings and did not let Virender Sehwag move from his place.
In the World Cup final, the Indian team had already lost the wicket of Virender Sehwag in the over. Sehwag fell prey to Malinga on the second ball. You will be surprised to know that Gautam Gambhir, who batted third, was not ready.
He did not even wear pads when Sehwag was out. However, sehwag was taken to the wicket, which gave Gambhir time to prepare and then he made India the world champion in an excellent innings of 97 runs.
