Indian captain MS Dhoni calmly guided his nation to the solid victory in 2011 CWC final against Sri Lanka. Chasing down the 275 runs target, India were battling on 114/3 when Dhoni came at the crease. The right-handed wicketkeeper-batsman safely guided India to the victory by scoring 91* off 79 balls. He hit eight boundaries and two over-boundaries in that innings.

India successfully chased down that target in 48.2 overs after losing four wickets (277/4). Dhoni finished off that game in his signature style with a sixer.
