Man of the Match - Mahendra Singh Dhoni- Cricket World Cup 2011

The Captain of Indian Cricket Team Mahindra Singh Dhoni not only led the team towards victory, he also won the award of "Man of the Match". He scored 91 (Not Out) .

MS Dhoni's stellar partnership with Gautam Gambhi paved the way for India to end its 28-year wait for a World Cup title. Chasing a target of 275, India were pegged on the back foot as early as the second ball of their innings when Lasith Malinga took the wicket of Virender Sehwag  and though the Indian opener asked for a referral, it was upheld. Malinga then struck again in the seventh over when he took the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar.  But, the title was sealed when Dhoni hit the first ball of the 49th over for a massive six to put the icing on the cake and send a billion people into raptures.
Whole India is celebrating this victory like crazy. Its more than Diwali and Eid. People are texting each other and congratulation on this victory.This shows how India worship Cricket. Dhoni once again proved that he is the coolest captain India ever had.
