India were desperate to rub off the Johannesburg nightmare,but the task wasn’t suppose to be a cake walk. Having beaten Australia and Pakistan on their way to the cup, Sri Lanka stood between India and the Cup.The critics were gunning for Dhoni, while Team were no mood to drop their guns. Jayawardene scripted a poetic century and the island nation posted a target of 275. The crowd missed the Sachin- Sehwag chemistry, as Malinga’s dual strike left India at 31/2. Gambhir anchored the Indian innings along with the youngster Kohli. The sapping Mumbai heat took its toll as Kohli was out to a brilliant caught and bowl by Dilshan. India crowd echoed a wish for Yuvraj, but MSD had other plans. He came out to bat with India needing another 160 plus to script a historic win. Along with “Gauti”, he crafted his innings to perfection. He milked the bowlers and punished the lose ones. Gambhir lost his timber on 97 , but the damage was done. Dhoni along with Yuvraj had a final burst.Billion countrymen were investing all their hopes in their actions as Dhoni was all eyes, with India needing 4 runs from 11 balls, Nuwan Kulasekara pitched one full and as they say the rest is history. MSD saved his best for the final and entered history with a second World cup in 28 years.
