World Cup 2011: MCA to auction 2 seats where ball landed after MS Dhoni’s six

The then Team India captain  MS Dhoni’s 2011 World Cup final match winning six against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai is one of the memorable moments in world cricket.

Adding more flavour to it, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has now announced that they will be putting the two seats where the ball had landed, on auction.

“Dhoni finishes off in style… To eternalize the glory of this moment, the two seats where the ball landed at the Wankhede Stadium after MS Dhoni struck the ICC World Cup 2011 winning six will be auctioned by the MCA,” MCA tweeted recently.

Earlier talking about that memorable moment, the Captain Cool ha said, “To me, it was not the winning moment, it was 15-20 minutes ago when emotionally I was very high. And at the same time, I wanted to get done with it. We knew that we would win this from here, and it was very difficult for us to lose. So yes, you know it was more of a sense of satisfaction, job done, let’s move on from here.”

Notably, it was India’s first World Cup win in 28 years after the 1983 triumph.
