India’s second cricket World Cup triumph
in 2011 was much anticipated, but when it came on that sparkling night of 2nd
April, it was as exhilarating as the country’s surprise first title win on a
glorious mid-summer evening at Lord’s in 1983. The 2011 victory was the
crowning glory for an Indian Team that had striven hard to reach the no. 1 spot
in Test cricket the previous year. It was also the missing jewel in the amazing
career of Sachin Tendulkar, a fairy-tale come true.
Crowning Glory is a special 44-page
supplement that brings forth the highlights of the ICC World Cup 2011 and its
stars, illustrated with colour photographs and detailed records :
