Greatest achievement

First of all, many, many congratulations to Captain M S Dhoni and Team India for winning the World Cup 2011 in marvellous style and fashion.To win the World Cup after 28 years and become the world champion of cricket is a matter of monumental glory and pride for the nation. It was made possible by Team India under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Team India played brilliantly like a champion in the final of the world cup in Mumbai against Sri Lanka and won the Cup for the nation convingcingly. Though they were the strong favourite of the Cup, they played marvellously throughout the World Cup matches and every decision taken by the Captain was bold and proved to be right in the end.

Team India also played unitedly and appeared to have made a mission to win the World Cup to realise the dream of master blaster and greatest batsman Sachin Tendulkar. He had to wait to the sixth world cup of his cricketing career to realise the dream. He also played masterly innings till the Semi Final and scored the second highest runs of tournament, though dashing opener Sehwag and he himself got out cheaply in the final. Sehwag also till the Semi Final played his natural game and created havoc in opposition teams and hit the highest 175 runs in an innings of the tournament.

India won Final against Sri Lanka and have become champions on the basis of the brilliant innings played by Gautam Gambhir , Virat Kohli and Captain Dhoni. The real fightback after the cheap dismalls of priceless wickets of the opening Sehwag and Sachin was started by Virat and Gambhir both played brilliantly and made 83 runs in the paternership after that Captain Dhoni came on the crease and made captain’s knock with Gambhir playing as a seaoned batsman at the other end. There was a partnership of more than 100 runs but Gambhir missed the Century by three runs as he was out on 97. After that, Dhoni and Yuvraj took control of the situation and Captain Dhoni hit the winning six and India’s score crossed over Sri Lanka’s 274 and won the World Cup Final by 6 wickets. Dhoni has been the most successful captain of India who won T20 World Cup, took Test team to No. 1position and now the world champions. He has also kept the team united and been very popular among all his team mates.

It was a glorious mement for all Indians when Captain Dhoni alongwith the entire team held aloft the World Cup. Now, the responsibility on Team India has increased many fold to main their stature of being at the top of the world.
