Watch: Virat Kohli Reveals What Sachin Tendulkar Told Him As He Walked Out To Bat In 2011 World Cup Final
India's 2011 World Cup triumph is still fresh in the minds of every cricket fan and it seems just like yesterday, when MS Dhoni's team defeated Sri Lanka in the summit clash. In the final, India defeated Sri Lanka by six wickets at the Wankhede Stadium and the entire crowd erupted in joy as MS Dhoni dispatched Nuwan Kulasekara for a massive six over the long-on boundary. Virat Kohli had walked out to bat at No.4 when India were in a spot of bother chasing 275 at 31 for two after losing Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag. On the 11th anniversary of the win, Kohli has revealed what he was told by Tendulkar just before he was getting ready to walk out to bat in an all-important game.
"I remember the pressure of walking into bat, 2 down for 20 (2-31) I think it was. Sachin and Sehwag both got out. I was walking in, Sachin paaji had a brief chat with me and he said build a partnership. And we did build a partnership, me and Gautam Gambhir. I got 35, probably the most valuable 35 I have scored in my cricketing career. I felt very happy that I was a part of putting the team on track and contributed in whatever way I could," Kohli said in a video posted on the official Twitter handle of Royal Challengers Bangalore.
"The thrill of winning the World Cup was unbelievable and the atmosphere of the crowd singing 'Vande Mataram', 'Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander' song, it was so surreal and it is still so fresh," he added.
