India had to endure a long 28-year wait to reclaim the prestigious trophy. Dhoni's side became the first nation to win the tournament on home soil, with the experienced team embedded with star players living up to their expectations. Noting how senior members of the team were itching to script a legacy of their own, Gambhir said in the Idea Exchange with Indian Express:
“Two or three senior players came to me before the 2011 WC semis and said ‘we need to win this tournament because we have to take the conversation away from 1983.
