Cricket World Cup History: 5 most memorable finals

#1 India vs Sri Lanka, 2011 World Cup final

India v Sri Lanka - 2011 ICC World Cup Final

The entire nation of India was talking about only one thing, the World Cup final as MS Dhoni's Men In Blue entered the Wankhede Stadium to battle Sri Lanka on 2nd April 2011. Mahela Jayawardene tried to dent the Indian dreams by scoring a hundred and helping his team reach the score of 274/6 in 50 overs.

In the 2nd innings, Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag departed early but the Delhi duo of Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir stabilized the innings. MS Dhoni and Gambhir's solid half-centuries took the Indian team with the former sealing the deal with a maximum off Nuwan Kulasekara's delivery.

India won their first World Cup after 28 years in 2011 and this year, Virat Kohli's men will try to win their third World Cup trophy as the Indian team kicks off its campaign against South Africa on 5th June.
