The MS Dhoni-led Indian Cricket Team won the ODI World Cup on April 2, 2011, breaking a 28-year wait and making history at Wankhede. Team India won the final by a margin of six wickets, and it was Dhoni's six off Nuwan Kulasekara over Long On that gave the nation a cause to rejoice. Coming back to the present, it has been 12 years since Ravi Shastri declared, "Dhoni finishes off in style, a magnificent strike into the crowd, India lifts the World Cup after 28 years," on AIR.
