#2 2011 World Cup a billion dreams that became true
Achieving the World Cup is a dream for every cricketer, and winning it in front of home fans will be a dream come true. India achieved that feat during the 2011 World Cup, held in the subcontinent.
The Indian team was blessed with the experience of Sachin and Sehwag in the batting unit; the bowling unit was led by the swing king Zaheer Khan, who was at the peak of his form during that World Cup. With all that aside, Dhoni, Yuvraj and Gambhir rose to help the side when it mattered.
The final was breathtaking: MS Dhoni, along with Gautam Gambhir, powered India to their second World Cup glory.
It was Sachin's last World Cup game as he finished off in style as the World Cup's all-time top scorer.
