The 2011 World Cup held a special significance for Indian Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. It was his last chance to win the prestigious tournament, and what made it even more special was the fact that the final match was held in Mumbai, his hometown. In an interview, Virat Kohli, one of Tendulkar's teammates, expressed how much this victory meant to the master batter.
Kohli acknowledged that winning the World Cup was a dream come true for every cricketer. However, he emphasized that for Tendulkar, it held an even deeper meaning. The Little Master had been playing international cricket for over two decades and had achieved numerous records and accolades throughout his career. Yet, the one thing missing from his illustrious resume was a World Cup triumph.
Fans reacting to this on social media said this time India should play World Cup for you, and fans shared their love to Virat Kohli for respecting the senior cricketers and boosted him for the upcoming Asia Cup and World Cup.
For Tendulkar, winning the World Cup on home soil in Mumbai seemed like something out of a fairytale. It was a moment he had envisioned countless times in his mind but never thought would become a reality. The entire nation rallied behind him as he pursued this ultimate glory.
India are eyeing to win the 2023 World Cup and the Asia Cup
Kohli's words reflect not only Tendulkar's sentiment but also highlight the impact this victory had on Indian cricket as a whole. The team's triumph united millions of fans across the country and brought immense pride to every Indian cricket lover.
Team India is preparing for the upcoming Asia Cup and will play a series against Australia before the World Cup 2023. As both the big tournaments are being played in Asia conditions fans and experts believe India to be the favorites of winning both the tournaments. Fans are hoping for a big show from Virat Kohli, the man of big occasions. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli has recently posted his Yo-Yo test scores to show his level of fitness in social media.
