New Delhi: It was today on April 2nd in the year 2011 when skipper MS Dhoni 'finished off in style' with a six to help team India lift the World Cup trophy for the second time. Chasing a 275-run target for India, it was opener Gautam Gambhir and finisher M.S. Dhoni's heroic knocks that powered the home side to a six-wicket win with just 10 balls remaining.
