It had happened on the tour of Australia in the Sydney Test when one decision after another went against the Indian team and they could only helplessly look on.

There was a stumping decision that went against India, and there was a caught behind that also went against India before Ganguly was given out caught off one bounce.

So, I don’t understand what was MS Dhoni expecting to gain out of the decision to recall Ian Bell. If winning a sportsmanship award was the issue, he can easily do that in the IPL’s Fairplay award but with a number one ranking at stake, it was something that he should have kept in mind.

Besides, Bell was clearly out and it should have remained that way.

The Indian Premier League will continue to have 10 teams in the 2012 edition of the tournament, unless the BCCI goes to court against one or more of the franchises as they had in the previous edition. This will mean that there is a good chance that each side will continue to play 14 games apiece and that will allow the fans a chance to watch seven games at home.

Chennai Super Kings were the winner of the of the 2011 edition of the IPL and it had come as no surprise to many of its fans given the kind of cricket they had played throughout the tournament. They had selected the right players and by the time they entered the last phase of the IPL, they looked like they were the form team and good to go through.

On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians fell apart and for a side that looked good to challenge the Super Kings, they failed to get to the final. Thankfully for them, the Mumbai Indians, despite their loss to the Royal Challengers Bangalore, managed to qualify for the Champions League T20.

Chasing 275 for a win, India made 277 for four wickets in 48.2 overs and brings the ICC World Cup World Trophy, 2011 for the Nation (India) – Today!s

Thanks to captain Dhoni, who made a remarkable scores that includes two sixes and eight fours in his 79-ball innings and raced to fifty in just 52 balls. Dhoni scored a 109 innings along with partner Gambhir in the fourth wickets, which is considered to be the highest run chase for India in World Cup finals, for the challenging 275-run target.

Though, Gambhir was bit disappointed as he was about to reach to score a hundred  in the World Cup final but meanwhile Lankan all-rounder Thisara Parera clean bowled him in the 42nd over.

However, Sachin Tendulkar also could stay long as he and Virendra Sehwag had to leave the ground after Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga dismissed them. Though, Sachin Tendulkar was moving smoothly as he hit two fours in his 14-ball in 18 innings before Malinga stopped him in the seventh over.

Initially, Sri Lanka’s captain Kumar Sangakkara won the toss and elected to bat against India.  However, Jayawardene played on a remarkable note as he score unbeaten 88-ball 103 as he hit 13 fours and raced to his hundred in just 84 balls

For India, Zaheer Khan and Yuvraj Singh took two wickets each to stop Sri Lanka innings before Jayawardene started dominating the proceedings with Nuwan Kulasekara 32.

Winner of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 – Team INDIA

Cricket World Cup 2011 Team India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, Munaf Patel.

India will have the advantage in the sense that they are playing at home. Sri Lanka’s record in India has been anything but exciting. They have barely managed to win any game here and off the last 39 matches here, they have won only 11.

India will look to play S Sreesanth in place of Ashish Nehra who is injured whereas the batting of Angelo Mathews will be missed by the Lankans and he will be replaced by Thisara Perera.

Between the two teams it is going to be very difficult to choose the winner, but one thing is certain that the team batting first will have a huge advantage going into the game.

That said they will need to score at least 250 in the first innings.
