Win #41 - 2011 World Cup journey

The Indians won the 2011 World Cup! 28 years dream was relived by the team - what a moment it was! Unforgettable. Hope we will have similar images to witness this year.

As Sachin Tendulkar in his latest advert remarks, he always had a dream of lifting the World Cup, not 25000 runs or 100 centuries. He fulfilled his vision at his home ground in 2011.


India were in the same group as South Africa, England, West Indies, Bangladesh, Ireland and Netherlands. Many had predicted India to be in the Top-2 of their group because of the presence of South Africa.

India did well to beat Bangladesh, Ireland, Netherlands, West Indies but tied with England as well as lost a close match to South Africa.

My other blog-posts detail the matches of World Cup:
  • Bangladesh win thanks to Sehwag
  • Ireland win due to Yuvraj's all-round skills
  • England tie that was a high-scoring one
  • Loss against South Africa despite the great start
  • West Indies win again thanks to Yuvraj
India defeated previous champions in the knock-out stages - Australia in the quarterfinal, Pakistan in the semifinal and finally Sri Lanka. It was a great journey for the team as well as us fans.

My earlier posts on the final victory for your pleasure
