Yuvraj Singh reminisces about the 2011 World Cup victory
The Hindu
“It was indeed a job done well,” says the former all-rounder who bore witness to Dhoni’s winning six from the opposite end.
A decade has passed since M.S. Dhoni hit one of the most recalled sixes in Indian cricket to end the country’s wait for a World Cup triumph since 1983. It was April 2, 2011, when a nation rejoiced like never before. The victory over Sri Lanka brought the country to a standstill with cricket-lovers taking to the streets in celebrations that went into the wee hours of the next morning. Dhoni and his men had lived up to the expectations. And the man who saw Dhoni’s finishing touches from 22 yards was Yuvraj Singh — the Man of the World Cup. From the euphoria of holding the World Cup to the excruciating pain of undergoing chemotherapy, Yuvraj went through extreme emotions during the past decade. He penned his biography, got married and then retired from active cricket.More Related News
