"Dhoni finishes off in style, India lift the World Cup after 28 years". These words of current India coach Ravi Shastri as a commentator on April 2, 2011 remain to be memorable as India lifted their second World Cup trophy in Mumbai. The day went down in the history books as the glorious day of Indian cricket when the 'Men in Blue' under the leadership of MS Dhoni repeated Kapil Dev's 1983 team's heroics on home soil. The image of Dhoni winning the match with a six off Nuwan Kulasekara will forever be etched in minds of cricket fans.
