The 2011 World Cup win was a momentous occasion for Indian cricket. After the 1983 World Cup triumph, it was the first time that the Indian cricket team won the 50-over marquee ICC tournament. Gautam Gambhir played an important part in that victory. He was the second-highest scorer for India in the 2011 World Cup with a tally of 393 runs in nine matches. He scored four fifty-plus scores, with his highest - 97 - coming in the final against Sri Lanka. Gambhir top-scored for the MS Dhoni-led India in the final and helped the team chase down a 275-run target in 48.2 overs.

Presenting the all new T20 Jersey - One Blue Jersey," the BCCI tweeted. The jersey comprises a light blue t-shirt with sleeves of a darker shade of blue, paired with light blue trousers.

South African batting sensation Tristan Stubbs triggered a bidding frenzy with Sunrisers Eastern Cape getting his services for a staggering 9.2 million rand (USD 500,000 plus) at the inaugural auction of the SA T20 league in Cape Town on Monday. The six teams in the league are owned by IPL franchises -- MI Cape Town (Reliance), Pretoria Capitals (JSW), Paarl Royals (Royals Sports Group), Durban Super Giants (RPG-Sanjiv Goenka), Johannesburg Super Kings (India Cements), Sunrisers Eastern Cape (Sunrisers Hyderabad owner Kaviya Maran).
Australian former international Tom Moody is set to leave his post as Sri Lanka's director of cricket, officials said on Monday, weeks before the T20 World Cup. The 56-year-old's three-year contract is being terminated by "mutual agreement", Mohan de Silva, secretary of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), told AFP. A senior cricket source who did not wish to be named said that SLC "could not afford his fees in the long run", despite having savings of over $40 million. "We also feel we need a person who is more hands-on, who can spend more time in Sri Lanka," the source added.
