MS Dhoni's Heroics in the 2011 Cricket World Cup Final

India faced a daunting task of chasing down 275 runs in the 2011 World Cup Final against Sri Lanka. The early loss of their openers put them on the back foot, but Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli's partnership of 83 runs brought India back into the game. Gambhir played a vital role and scored 97 runs off 122 balls. His fourth-wicket partnership of 109 runs with the skipper MS Dhoni was pivotal in India's recovery. Dhoni's unbeaten knock of 91 off 79 balls showcased his captaincy skills and his ability to perform under pressure. Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh's unbeaten partnership of 54 runs for the fifth wicket guided India to a historic victory, making it the first time they had won the World Cup since 1983.
