Sachin Tendulkar Birthday Specials: 5 instances when Sachin got emotional

#2 World Cup final, Mumbai (2011)

Sachin finally won the World Cup 2011 after waiting for 22 years

This was the most anticipated World Cup as it was held in India and also the last chance for Sachin to win the World Cup.

India played brilliantly throughout the tournament and lost only one match in the league stages against South Africa. India then defeated Australia in the quarterfinals and Pakistan in semis.

India played against the might Lankans in the finals and needed 274 to win the World Cup. When Sachin and Sehwag were dismissed cheaply the team looked in deep trouble. Gambhir and Dhoni stitched a match-winning partnership and Captain Cool hit the winning runs with a six.

Sachin ran into the ground with full of joy and happiness. When he embraced an emotional Yuvraj Singh, he could not control his tears as his wait for the elusive World Cup finally ended.
