“It’s been 10 years since we won the World Cup. Time has gone by so quickly. The whole team wanted to win the World Cup so badly. Especially for Sachin, because we knew it is his last World Cup. We also wanted to win the World Cup in India (at home), as no other team had done that before".

Yuvraj Singh also thanked a host of players, hailing their stellar performances during the 2011 World Cup.

He credited MS Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir for their fabulous performances in the final and also applauded the Sachin Tendulkar-Virender Sehwag duo for their electric starts. Yuvraj Singh also praised Zaheer Khan, who finished as the leading wicket-taker of the 2011 World Cup.
