Simply, Sachin: The Indian team puts to rest all debate on whether they played to win the World Cup for Sachin Tendulkar. Here, they hoist their hero on their shoulders for the victory lap. Virat Kohli later said, "Tendulkar has carried the burden of the nation for 21 years, it is time we carried him on our shoulders". (AFP Photo)

The First Celebration: Time and again during the World Cup 2011, MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh found themselves in the middle with the situation demanding a partnership to both steady innings and fetch runs. It was fitting that they were at the crease when India became World Champions all over again.
-
At First, Disbelief: Yuvraj Singh was super cool through the tournament. No more than pumping the air when he got breakthrough wickets, not raising his bat to mark his 50 against Australia till he had safely seen India through to the semi-finals. Not much emotion till this moment.
-
Yuvraj is back: This man began the cricket World Cup as among the players least expected to perform. But in game after game Yuvraj Singh proved he was the match winner he had always been known as till bad form and poor fitness struck him down. Here, tears of joy, relief.
