and posted a daunting 274 on board following a superb century by Mahela Jayawardhene.
The Indian team had begun their bowling on a bright note with ace spear head Zaheer
Khan bowling a superb initial spell but the end power over proved to be a costly affair and
helped the Lankans post a very challenging total. Indian batting started on patchy note
when both the dangerous openers lost their wickets early to Lasith Malinga who came up
with an inspired spell of fast bowling. The stadium had gone quiet but the Indian innings
was resurrected when Virat Kholi and Gautam Gambhir formed a respectable partnership
but the star of the innings was Indian Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He promoted
himself up the order ahead of the inform Yuvraj Singh took India home with an unbeaten
91. The Captain criticized throughout the tournament for his lack of form stepped up at
the most crucial moment with a crucial innings and hit the last ball straight down the
ground for a huge six. The nation erupted with joy and there wild celebrations all over
India. Sachin Tendulkar was given a lap of honour when his team mates took him on their
shoulders and a happy Sachin could be seen waving at the crowds. This is the highest
successful run chase made in a World cup final and what makes the victory sweeter is
India is the first team to win a World Cup on home soil.
