From Me to You: MS Dhoni played a Captain's knock steering India to that most coveted of prizes – the World Cup. And after winning said the team had won it for Sachin Tendulkar.

Simply, Sachin: The Indian team puts to rest all debate on whether they played to win the World Cup for Sachin Tendulkar. Here, they hoist their hero on their shoulders for the victory lap.

The First Celebration: Time and again during the World Cup 2011, MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh found themselves in the middle with the situation demanding a partnership to both steady innings and fetch runs. It was fitting that they were at the crease when India became World Champions all over again.
