On Sachin Tendulkar’s 47th birthday, the Cricket World Cup official Instagram handle shared his take on the 2011 World Cup triumph and it was nostalgia once again for his fans across the country.
“I was the highest run-getter for the team, and my contribution was worth it. In the end, what matters is that the trophy is in your dressing room.” Sachin had said on winning the biggest trophy in his sixth attempt.
“It was the most beautiful moment of my life on a cricket field. There cannot be a greater moment. To take the victory lap as champions was the ultimate feeling. That’s the best cricketing moment of my life,” Sachin added.
“Yes I was excited when I wore the India cap for the first time. But nothing matches 2011. The whole country was celebrating. Very rarely you get to see entire nation celebrating together.”
The master batsman went on to play 200 Tests for India, scoring 100 centuries across Tests and ODIs. In 463 ODIs, Tendulkar scored 18,426 runs and in Tests, he has 15,921 runs to his name.
