Relive the historic moment when India became the first country to win the Cricket World Cup on home soil, breaking a 28-year wait for the prestigious trophy.
On April 2, 2011, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, India made history by defeating Sri Lanka in the ICC Cricket World Cup final. This triumph marked the first time any nation had won the Cricket World Cup on its home ground. The Indian team, led by captain MS Dhoni, successfully chased down Sri Lanka's total of 274, securing a six-wicket victory. Dhoni famously hit the winning six, etching his name into cricketing folklore.
The victory ended a significant 28-year drought for India, which had not lifted the prestigious trophy since their inaugural win in 1983. Key contributions included Gautam Gambhir's crucial 97 runs in the final and Yuvraj Singh's consistent all-round performance throughout the tournament, earning him the Player of the Tournament award. This accomplishment brought immense jubilation across the nation.
