In the 2011 Cricket World Cup, India won all their matches except for one, which they lost to South Africa in the group stage.
The match took place on March 12, 2011, at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur, India. South Africa won the toss and chose to bat first. They got off to a strong start, with openers Hashim Amla and Graeme Smith putting on a partnership of 142 runs. Amla scored a century, and AB de Villiers and JP Duminy also made significant contributions to South Africa’s total. They finished their innings on 267 for 5.
In reply, India got off to a poor start, losing Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar early. Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli steadied the innings with a partnership of 53 runs, but wickets continued to fall at regular intervals. Yuvraj Singh played a valiant innings of 53 runs, but India fell short of the target, finishing on 296 for 7.
This loss was a wake-up call for India, who went on to win all their remaining matches in the tournament, including the quarter-final, semi-final, and final. They defeated arch-rivals Pakistan in the semi-final and Sri Lanka in the final to lift the World Cup trophy for the second time in their history.
Despite the loss to South Africa, India’s strong performances in the rest of the tournament made them worthy champions. The team was led by MS Dhoni, who played a crucial role in guiding the team to victory. Yuvraj Singh was named the Player of the Tournament for his all-round performances with both bat and ball.
