MS Dhoni inaugurates 2011 World Cup win memorial at Wankhede stadium

Xtra Time Web Desk: Former India captain MS Dhoni was quite emotional during the felicitation ceremony of MCA on Friday, April 7. Dhoni, who led India to victory in the 2011 World Cup, was felicitated by MCA officials for his outstanding contribution to Indian cricket.

The 2011 World Cup final, in which India defeated Sri Lanka, was held at the Wankhede Stadium, and Dhoni played a crucial role in the match. His unbeaten knock of 91 runs, which included hitting the winning six off Nuwan Kulasekara, will forever be etched in the memories of cricket fans. The site where Dhoni’s match-winning six landed will be used to build a memorial to commemorate India’s historic win.

Dhoni was presented with a large photograph of the winning moment and a memento by MCA officials as a token of appreciation for his leadership and achievements in cricket. The memorial will be constructed at the Wankhede Stadium, and five chairs from the pavilion stand will be removed to make way for it. The felicitation ceremony was a tribute to Dhoni’s incredible contribution to Indian cricket and a celebration of the 2011 World Cup victory, which holds a special place in the hearts of cricket fans across the country.
