During the chase, fans were left emotionally battered after Lasith Malinga dismissed Sachin Tendulkar, leaving India at a precarious 31/2 in the sixth over. However, a heroic innings by Gautam Gambhir (97) along with an exceptional captain's knock from Dhoni (91*) saved India the blushes and saw the Men in Blue lift the World Cup after 28 years.

Player of the Tournament, Yuvraj Singh, also took to social media and claimed the famous victory to ensure the legend gets the farewell he deserves.
