They erected the victory monument on the spot where the legendary six Dhoni winners landed in the stands. 12 years ago

on the night of April 2 at Wankhede Stadium, Dhoni had sent the winning six at the stadium and a billion more across the country. That long six sealed India’s second cup win for the first time in 28 years since the historic triumph from 1983 under the leadership of Kapil Dev.
