April 2, 2011, is a day that most Indian cricket fans will never forget; neither will the protagonists of that great World Cup glory fairytale. On Thursday, members of the victorious Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Indian team recalled their historic World Cup final win over Sri Lanka nine years ago at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Scintillating knocks from Gautam Gambhir (97) and Dhoni (91 not out) saw India chase down Sri Lanka's 274-6 with 10 balls and six wickets to spare and clinch only their second ODI World Cup crown, after Kapil's Devils had achieved the feat 28 years ago. Player of the Tournament, Yuvraj Singh, who aggregated a mammoth 362 runs and accounted for 15 wickets in the tournament, was among the first to recall the win on Twitter. "Words will never be able to describe what a moment for every Indian it was. This is what we live for! Jai Hind," the stylish left-hander wrote to his 4.7 million Twitter followers. Fellow Punjabi and off-spinner Harbhajan Singh remarked to his 10.4 million Twitterati fans: "World Cup winner 2011. What a great day it was for the whole of India. Proud moment."
