Sachin Tendulkar - The name none of cricket lovers would forget... the man who has achieved almost everything in the cricket field.. the latest one being the dream he has been chasing for six times - The ICC Cricket World Cup...

Sachin Tendulkar was instrumental in India's ODI progress over the past two decades and it seemed to be just a matter of time when India would win a World cup with him, but he had to wait six times playing in World Cups before India could win it and what a win it was!

India beat Sri Lanka in Mumbai and became the World champions in ODI crick on 2nd April, 2011.
Almost all the Indian players dedicated the victory to Sachin Tendulkar....

“It’s the ultimate thing and I’m experiencing it,” Tendulkar said. “I couldn’t have asked for anything better. It’s the proudest moment of my life.”

Presenting some of the proudest moments of Tendulkar's life in pictures... the World Cup victory lap that the Indian players gave to Sachin carrying him on their shoulders and the first time he held the World Cup in his hands....
