India's epic journey in ICC ODI World Cup 2011

The 2011 World Cup is a tournament that is etched in the heart of every Indian cricket fan. Team India had an unbelievable campaign at the showpiece event in 2011. India started off in an exquisite fashion against Bangladesh, then drew with England and slumped against South Africa. The team made no mistakes against minnows like the Netherlands and Ireland. In the quarterfinal, India pulled off a brave run chase against the defending champions Australia. Following that they defeated arch-rivals Pakistan in the semis, setting up a meeting with Sri Lanka in the final. In the final, MS Dhoni finished off in style and India lifted the World Cup. Ravi Shastri's poetic commentary still reverberates whenever the World Cup 2011 gets a mention.

Thirteen years have gone yet one image is enough to bring back a plethora of memories. From players honouring Sachin Tendulkar to Virat Kohli saying “Sachin Tendulkar has carried the burden of the nation for 21 years. It is time we carried him on our shoulders”, the 2011 World Cup truly is an emotion.
