15 years since a World Cup win that inspired a generation 🇮🇳 🏆 ❤️🏏🥇🏆
"Dhoni finishes off in style.
A magnificent strike into the crowd.
India lift the World Cup after 28 years!
It's Indian Captain who played absolutely magnificent in the night of the final..!"
Where, and with whom, did you watch the final?
On this day in 2011, the Wankhede Stadium witnessed history as India lifted the ICC Cricket World Cup - a moment that fulfilled a nation’s dream on home soil.
A night to remember sealed with MS Dhoni’s iconic finish, as Mumbai celebrated with the entire nation ✨
Do you remember?
Gautam Gambhir’s crucial 97 and Dhoni’s unbeaten 91* guided India to chase down 275, ending a 28-year wait for World Cup glory 🏏
15 years since the day that will stay till last breath. Cricket ke jeevan ka Lakshya haasil hua tha. We lived a dream and the nation celebrated. How did you celebrate? #worldcup

This is what true teamwork looked like 💙
The campaign that helped India lift the ODI World Cup after 28 years 🇮🇳🏆
25 years ago at Eden Gardens Rahul and I shared a partnership that will forever remain special. In a moment when the game looked beyond us we chose belief, patience and resilience. That stand was not just about runs but was about trust, teamwork and fighting for every session. Grateful to have shared that journey with Rahul and to be part of a Test that reminded us all that in cricket, comebacks are always possible.
They have also become the FIRST TEAM TO WIN BACK-TO-BACK T20 WORLD CUPs! 🥶
