The historic final, played at the Wankhede Stadium, saw India face a strong Sri Lankan side that posted a competitive total of 274/6. A brilliant unbeaten century by Mahela Jayawardene anchored Sri Lanka’s innings and set up a challenging chase for the hosts.
India’s reply began on a shaky note, but a crucial knock of 97 from Gautam Gambhir steadied the innings. The momentum then shifted firmly in India’s favour as captain MS Dhoni delivered a match-winning performance, scoring an unbeaten 91 and guiding the team towards victory.
MS Dhoni sealed the iconic win with a towering six, securing India’s second World Cup title and ending a 28-year wait since 1983.
