T20 World Cup

India’s win in the ICC World Cup 2011 can be attributed to the following:

1.       Dhoni’s captaincy: Not too many captains have had such an ice-cool demeanour on the field as MS Dhoni. It stems from the fact that he can maintain his calmness under pressure and that means that the side has also been influenced by that in many ways.

2.       Zaheer’s bowling: He has been one of the most under-rated player for the side, but you need to give it to the man who has bowled so well – and picked up 21 wickets in the tournament. The batsmen did not top the run-getting charts but Zaheer was at the top of the bowling charts.

3.       Yuvraj Singh: He is an excellent talent, but he had gone into the tournament as one of those who would have probably not made it to the playing eleven. The things changed with this tournament and there was no looking back. He was the main difference between him and the rest of the sides – an all-rounder who could get the wickets.
