India won the ICC World Cup 2011 defeating Sri Lanka by six wickets at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai a short while ago. Sri Lanka scored 274 for the loss of 6 wickets at the end of the allotted 50 over.

Gautam Gambir scored 97 from 122 balls while the Indian skipper MS Dhoni made an unbeaten 91 from 79 balls.

Dohni was named the man of the match. Yuvraj Singh was adjudged the man of the tournament.

 Twenty-eight years on from the match that transformed the history of world cricket, India recaptured the crown that Kapil Dev and his men first lifted at Lord's in 1983, and this time they did in their very own back yard. An iron-willed 97 from Gautam Gambhir was matched for intensity by the finest captain's innings since Ricky Ponting at Johannesburg eight years ago, as Mahendra Singh Dhoni trumped a poetic century from Mahela Jayawardene to pull off the highest run-chase ever achieved in a World Cup final.

Against a triumphant backdrop at the Wankhede Stadium, victory was sealed by six wickets with 10 balls to spare, as Dhoni - who had promoted himself to No. 5 to heap extra lashings of responsibility onto his own shoulders - rushed through the gears as the victory target drew nearer. With 15 required from 17 balls, he flicked Sri Lanka's only true threat, Lasith Malinga, through midwicket for consecutive boundaries, before smoking Nuwan Kulasekara over long-on to spark the most delirious scenes of celebration ever seen on the subcontinent.
