A unified chant of “Maa Tujhe Salam” burst out from the Wankhede crowd in 2011 during the ODI World Cup final in Mumbai, when MS Dhoni-led Team India broke their 28-year drought for a world trophy against Sri Lanka. To the present day, people can still find the video on social media. However, this time Rohit and his team experienced the same emotions on Thursday during the guard of honour at the Wankhede Stadium.
