PROUD POSSESSION: India captain MS Dhoni keeps the World Cup as close to his chest as possible during a photo call at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai yesterday. Dhoni led his side to a magnificent six-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in the World Cup final at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.Saturday's stupendous feat in the World Cup final made Mahendra Singh Dhoni India's most successful captain in limited-overs cricket, having won both the World Twenty20 and the World Cup for the cricket-mad country. So, hardly could he hide his emotion. Usually self-reliant, the Indian skipper was as delighted as he could be though he laughed nervously at times at a post-match briefing in the underground media conference room of the Wankhede Stadium.
