The pressure of playing at home with crowds coming out of their ears. Still kept calm and did the job at high intensity and won the CUP . Can there be a bigger lesson in handling pressure and excelling. These boys were something else?#WorldCup2011

In 2012, the coach of the Sri Lankan team who played that WC final in 2011 was also with KKR, and he told us that the man who took the game away from them was Gautam Gambhir.
Never gets his due for one of the great World Cup knocks under pressure!

Cricket World Cup 2011: Some Unforgettable Contributions

Individual performances can be the difference on a particular day, but a victory as grand as India’s 2011 World Cup title win and a trophy as big as World Cup, is possible only when every member of the team contribute in some ways. And during the 2011 Cricket World Cup triumph, we did witness some performances that will live long in the memory of Indian cricket fans.

• MS Dhoni’s Innings In The Final: Promoting himself in the all-important final was an MS Dhoni thing in every way. India’s captain fantastic played an incredible inning of 91 runs off 79 balls to guide India to its second world cup triumph.
• Yuvraj Singh’s All-Round Displays: The fact that Yuvraj Singh was battling cancer when he was producing jaw-dropping performance in the 2011 World Cup, makes his contribution even more unthinkable. Yuvraj scored 362 runs and took 15 wickets to win the man-of-the-series award.
• Sachin Tendulkar, Run-Machine: India’s leading run-scorer at the 2011 world cup. Sachin racked up 481 runs in only nine innings.
• Zaheer Khan: The left-handed fast bowler ended up as the joint highest wicket-taker at the 2011 World Cup along with Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi.
