QuarantineTormentino Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 What a match! I had lost all hope when Malinga dismissed Sehwag and Tendulkar in the first 10, but Gambhir and Dhoni were brilliant Real McCoy and sorak 2 Link to comment
GautiMaan Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 'If I got 97, I was supposed to... didn't do any favours to anyone': Gatuam Gambhir on India's 2011 World Cup win Quote "It doesn't feel like yesterday. Not for me at least. It's been what, 10 years now? I am not a person who looks back too much. Obviously, it's a proud moment but you know what, it's time for Indian cricket to move forward. Probably, now it's time that we win the next World Cup ASAP," Gambhir told news agency PTI. https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/gautam-gambhir-reacts-on-10th-anniversary-of-india-s-2011-world-cup-win-says-he-was-supposed-to-scored-97-in-the-final-against-sri-lanka-101617329746571.html#:~:text=Gautam Gambhir%2C who scored 97,Cup for India in 2011. This man never ceases to amaze while others would want to milk the win for eternity he focuses on the right thing..10 years is too long for a cricketing superpower to have gone on without winning a World Cup or any ICC trophy for that matter nevada and sage 2 Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Felt like it had happened yesterday. 10 yrs have passed, I know they are different formats but post wc that whitewash after whitewashes in test series affected the celebratory mood for me, We were supposed to be world champions who could smash anyone in any format as perceived after seeing Aussie as WC for 3 times. I doubt we will be having similar moments again, even if we win next wc, we will never get to witness 3 amazing matches we got to witness against Australia, Pakistan and Srilanka. The atmosphere before Pakistan match was altogether different. Link to comment

AuxiliA Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Man how time flies. Was in 1st year of college at IITR. Had our midterms the very next day, but literally no one cared. Even those who didn't watch cricket were glued. Never seen that kind of craze before or after. Probably the last time streets were deserted in India, not counting global pandemics. To hell with the 0-8 test drubbing that followed. Even a dozen test series victories in England or Australia could not match the craze for '11 WC win. Suhaan 1 Link to comment

Without that mindset, he wouldn't have been able to drag us back into the contest after 2 early wickets. He batted as if it were just another day at work for him.
