NEW DELHI: Ravi Shastri’s fervent commentary from 2011 - "Dhoni, finishes it off in style, India lifts the World Cup after 28 years" still reverberates in every Indian cricket fan’s ears. Dhoni's six over mid-on off Sri Lanka’s Nuwan Kulasekara, which sealed the deal for the Men in Blue in front of a jam-packed Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, ended a 28-year wait for the trophy and gave over a billion Indians something very special to celebrate.
As Team India celebrated their 12th anniversary of the 2011 World Cup win on Sunday (April 2, 2023), Virat Kohli, who was part of the victorious Indian team of 2011, paid a fitting tribute to Dhoni.
