Here are 5 of my reasons why I believe our World Cup victory is all the more momentous and laudable:
# 1: First time ever that a century in the first innings of a World Cup Final, has ended up in a losing cause - that too, without even having any century from the chasing team. #TotalTeamEffort
# 2: First time ever that a team has won a World Cup (final) on home soil, that too, while chasing a never-before-achieved total in a World Cup final.
# 3: In WC 2011, India was the only team to have lost only one match in the entire tournament, after having played the maximum number of matches. Every other team that played, lost atleast 2 matches or more.
# 4: Whenever we have beaten a World Cup, we have always beaten every team that has ever won a World Cup, in that tournament. That's how World Champions should be!
# 5: West Indies, Australia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka - In our last 4 matches, we won the World Cup by beating every team that has ever won a World Cup (in chronological order of every team that won the WC). Truly World Champion stuff.
Congrats Team India, keep up the great work!!
Jai Ho (Gayi)!!

Congratulations!!! Yes, all the above 5 are great observations. My fav - #5.
Way to go Team India, you rock - and you anyway know I love Dhoni :)
Also the first WC that ended with a boundary hit by the WC winning team on both occasion - the first ball of the World Cup was dispatched to the boundary with a four by Sehwag against Bangladesh, and the last ball of WC 2011 turned out to be the winning six hit by Dhoni, against Sri Lanka.
