The Midas Touch of MS Dhoni

After the six hit by Indian Skipper Dhoni whole nation started celebrtating Dussehra and Diwali altogether.
The World Cup final victory couldn't have been any better than this. 1.21 billion dreams have come true as Team India has won the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup defeating Sri Lanka by 6 wickets chasing 275.
Dhoni's  Midas Touch continued as Indian side now claims the world champion's title in all the formats of the game.First T20 World Champions, Tests' No.1 team and now the much awaited ODI World Cup.
This win becomes important because the win came on the Indian soil. Many myths are broken after this win.
Teams of hosting nation can't win, the player who scores century his side wins and many others.
This win is a combined team effort. Every player contributed towards his part. This match has showed a very confident looking Indian side. Indians were brilliant with bat-ball and excellent in field which is rarely seen.
Though some of the moments were dissapointing for the side soft dismissals of Sehwag the storm and sesational Sachin. At times audiences were silenced by the Lankans but team India had some points to prove. At last the entire country was gifted what a generation has grown up dreaming after 28 long years.
Jaywardhena's century couldn't help his team win as Gambhir and Dhoni spoiled his plans to celebrate.
