India defeated Sri Lanka in the final played on April 2, 2011 and won the World Cup title 28 years later. Gambhir made a significant contribution to India's win in the final, with 97 and Dhoni playing 91 innings. But did you know that 5 members of this World Cup winning team were part of the first ever T20 World Cup held in 2007.

Gautam Gambhir had scored the highest score of 97 in the 2011 World Cup Final for India, incidentally he was the hero of India's victory by scoring 75 runs in the 2007 T20 World Cup final.

MS Dhoni essayed a key role in helping India clinch their second 50-over World Cup after 28 years. Dhoni was the captain of Team India in the 2007 T20 World Cup and under his captaincy India became the champion.

When Dhoni scored a match-winning six in the 2011 World Cup final, Yuvraj Singh was present at the other end, having been the man of the tournament in this World Cup. Yuvi had earlier contributed significantly to India's title win at the 2007 T20 World Cup.

Harbhajan Singh did a fantastic job for Team India in the 2011 World Cup win, incidentally he was also part of the 2007 T20 World Cup winning team.

In 2013, Sreesanth, who was banned in the spot-fixing case, was involved in two World Cup wins in India. He played in the 2011 World Cup Finals and before that came to the headlines with a catch of Misbah-ul-Haq in the 2007 T20 World Cup Final by Joginder Sharma.

There was a strange resemblance between these two players in India's victories in the 2011 and 2007 World Cups. While Dhoni captained India in both these World Cups, Gambhir made the top score for India in both World Cup finals.
