India batting legend Sachin Tendulkar recalled India's 2011 World Cup victory after a six-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the final at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. But after India lifted the trophy, the Indian team carried Sachin Tendulkar on their shoulders and gave him a victory lap around his home ground. For the Dhoni-led Indian team, the 2011 title win was a win for Sachin as it was going to be his final World Cup appearance. "When I saw Kapil Dev lifting the World Cup in 1983, it was an unbelievable experience," he further added. I decided what may come, I have to focus and chase my dream of lifting the World Cup.
