The Ball That MS Dhoni Hit For That Iconic Six To Win 2011 World Cup Located indianexpress.com

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has come forward to help the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) locate the ball which disappeared into the stands on the historic night India won its second ICC World Cup in 2011. The governing body was planning to immortalise the moment, and also honour Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who hit the match-winning six, by naming the seat where the ball would have landed after him.
While the search was underway, Gavaskar informed the MCA that the spectator who caught the ball happens to be an acquaintance of Gavaskar’s friend.

The search for the exact spot and the match-ball started last month when the 39-year-old announced his retirement from international cricket. MCA Apex Council member Ajinkya Naik had written a letter to the governing body with the idea of honouring Dhoni with a permanent seat in the spot where the ball would have landed in the Wankhede Stadium.
