On Sachin’s suggestion in the 2011 World Cup final, Dhoni came out to bat first at number-5 from Yuvraj. In this match, Dhoni scored an unbeaten 91 -run innings and defeated Sri Lanka and won the World Cup.
Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar on Monday gave his fans a special opportunity. He sessed an ‘Ask Me Anaiting’ (AMA) on the social media platform Reddit. In this, he answered many questions related to cricket and personal life. In this session, Sachin spoke openly about the 2011 World Cup final and his favorite innings. At the same time, he officially confirmed his son Arjun Tendulkar’s engagement with Sania Chandhok.
Decision to send Dhoni first in 2011 World Cup final During the session, a fan referred to Virender Sehwag’s statement that he had suggested to send Mahendra Singh Dhoni for batting before Yuvraj Singh in the 2011 World Cup final. In response to this question, Sachin confirmed this and explained the reason behind this strategy. He said, ‘There were two reasons for this.
First: The combination of the left-right batsmen could cause trouble for two Sri Lankan off-spinners (Muttiah Muralitharan and Suraj Randives). Second: Muralitharan had played for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) from 2008 to 2010 and Dhoni faced his bowling on the nets for three seasons.
This decision proved to be excellent. Dhoni played an unbeaten 91 -run match in the final and won India a historic World Cup against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. This victory made India the world champion after 28 years.
In the 2011 ODI World Cup final, India defeated Sri Lanka and captured the trophy.

Sachin, referring to many magnificent innings, described his unbeaten 103 runs against England in the Chennai Test in 2008 as the most special. In this innings, Sachin chased India by six wickets, chasing a target of 387 runs in the fourth innings. The match was played under the leadership of England captain Kevin Peterson.
