Sachin Tendulkar, who's played six World Cups, on his best
moment.
"I took a quite few decisions
tonight, if we hadn't won I would have been asked quite a few questions: Why no
Ashwin, why Sreesanth, why no Yuvraj, why did I bat ahead?! That pushed me and
motivated to do well"
MS Dhoni puts a light spin on his selection decisions ahead of India's title win.
"This is unbelievable. The Under-19
World Cup, then the World Twenty20 but this is the most special. For Sachin,
for everyone else."
Yuvraj Singh, the Player of the Tournament, sums it up.
"Very proud of everyone, especially Mahela who rose up
to the occasion and put up a great hundred. When you look at this Indian team
anything less than 350 looks less! They deserved this title, the way they
played in front of a great crowd."
Gautam Gambhir, who gave India the upper hand in the final with his 97.
"It means the world to me. I have
been part of the three World Cups. This is for the nation. Thank you very much,
we love you. This cup is for the people. Love you India!"
Harbhajan Singh was among several Indian players who shed a tear following India's victory.
"This goes out to all the people of India. This is
my first World Cup; I can't ask for more. Tendulkar has carried the burden of
nation for 21 years; It was time we carried him. Chak de India!"
Virat Kohli leads the Tendulkar tributes.
