ESPN revive some of the golden memories of the ODI
Well you did not mention MS Dhoni, who was the player of the match in this final. He was at super form that time. He made a not out 91 in just 79 balls. If he had not played this innings, it would have been difficult for India to win this CUP. After this worldcup the downfall of Srilanka started and they never recovered even in 2020.
Don't have anything against Dhoni. He is definitely one of those "legends", but I just picked the top 3 names that came to my mind. Dhoni was like the backbone of the batting then, especially with others such as Gambhir and Sehwag close to retirement. And at the same time, Sri Lanka had their legendary player in Kumar Sangakkara. Mahela Jayawardene was also a part of the team, but I would not rate him as a "legend".
Back then it was entirely possible. Sri Lanka was a really good team, capable of giving strong competition to big 3 teams and India had a weak bowling attack (especially in the pace bowling department). And back then, Virat Kohli had just started his career, and was being overshadowed by heavyweights such as Gautham Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag.
It is true that India had weak bowling attack than Srilanka at that moment. It was advantage for Srilanka but don't forget that batting line up of India was the best at that time which Srilanka had not.Well.. you can say that... players such as Sehwag, Sachin and Gambhir were among the top-10 batsmen at that time (I am not listing Kohli here, because at that time he was not being considered as a "legend"). If we talk about the bowling, then Sri Lanka had Lasith Malinga and Muttiah Muralitharan, who were legends. For comparison, India had Zaheer Khan, Sreesanth and Munaf Patel, with Harbhajan Singh being the first-choice spinner.

You know what would be more funny and bizarre situation?

So tomorrow is the live match between India and Srilanka. Any guess who will win the match so i can bet and not lose
Please bet on SL...
My prediction : India Bats first and SL is going to chase down the target easily.. Sangakara wins the World Cup for his team by hitting six...
Ok I have placed my bet of 0.1 BTC on SriLanka as per your advice, So now if Srilanka lose will you pay me half the amount to
compensate my loss ?
Indian bowling was not that bad in 2011 world cup. Yuvi was in good rhythm for a while. Munaf Patel was always a good performer and Zaheer Khan & Harbajan was always the best bowler in Indian team. This combination wasn't that bad to be honest.

But back then they did okay job whenever team needed them, there is a reason that they lost only one game (if my memory serves me well) in playoff, home conditions helped Indian cause, as bowlers were familiar with the conditions. For better or worse things now changed completely in the modern cricket, as home condition don't matter much in T-20 and ODI.
Interestingly in every ICC tournament whenever India plays against Pakistan, Indian bowlers takes a driving seat.
Correct Indian bowling performed when they were required to. Srilanka had better bowlers than India. The batting line up of India was the strongest at that time. Not to forget India still had sachin at that time.

Haha, nice
Srilanka was a good team back then. They had good bowlers and good batting line up and it was really possible for them to beat India. History cannot be changed, India won that match comfortably.

I guess its league match but yeah i was pointing out to WC Final...
Good Ol days...
Sadly current Sri lankans team is doomed and seems minnow whenever they play against the India. They do have some good young blood who can bring srilankan team back to life so there is still some hope left for them.

I just checked cricinfo and they are showing Live India Vs Pakistan Match ? How is that possible ?
They are running a program called retro live from what i understand as i have seen many matches replicating old matches and copy pasting the old commentary with a live score card , since there are no new contents they need to come up with something to make things interesting for the website so that they will have visitors and thereby have the revenue through advertisement. You know what would be more funny and bizarre situation?

Folks.. it is not just Cricinfo, which is doing these "RetroLive" and "Virtual Reality" matches. A few days back, another website was showing the virtual match between the PSL finalists. I don't blame them. There is not a single cricket match ongoing at any part of the globe. On the other hand, football fans have the option to watch the Belarussian Premier League. Too bad that cricket is not a popular sport in Belarus. 
I think ECB uploaded 2015 Ashes series into Youtube and few sport channels were showing IPL (MI vs CSK) and Test match (PAK vs IND).
World Cup Matches those played in March and April as they are celebrating for sack fo this all Locked Down hopefully in next few days we will have Final of Word Cup 2011.
Nothing else to do and i am watching all the movies i missed in the last ten years.You know what would be more funny and bizarre situation?

It is really bizarre and people are loosing their minds confide to their homes for weeks without any booze or cigars and i will not be surprised if some bookies open up a betting line People betting on these games with full seriousness and then ending up on losing side by losing bet
.Peoples are frustrated with this all locked down so they want to do something interesting
Nothing interesting going on, things are getting worse it is frightening to look at the news because the death toll keeps on increasing.Mental illness is another issue of quarantine.
Even the sane will loose their minds in these situation, the government should open up wine shops and provide home delivery during quarantine so that people will stay at home rather than torturing them . The suicide rate is on the high because of withdrawal symptoms of alcohol and already two took their life in Kerala, German minister Thomas Schaefer took his life because of the pressure and many more bad news to come.

@JSRAW first of all that’s not possible unless the person has never watched cricket, and is dealing with a local bookie who’s clever enough to trick him into betting in this match. @BitSat19 this is not a live match mate it’s an old match so why would people bet on this when they already know how it ended?.
It was joke... and i have utmost respect for dull divines
. Having said that we should never underestimate power of dump peoples, they can surprise us anytime.
