Former Sri Lankan Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage has made a shocking claim. He has claimed that the World Cup 2011 final match between hosts India and Sri Lanka at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium was fixed. Let us tell you that the match was won by the Indian team by 6 wickets under Mahendra Singh Dhoni's captaincy.
When World Cup 2011 was held in India, Mahindananda Aluthgamage was the Sports Minister of Sri Lanka. He said that he does not want to make any more disclosures keeping in mind the reputation of his country, but he has not provided any evidence to claim that the World Cup 2011 was fixed. He said that Sri Lanka could win the final of the ODI World Cup 2011.
In an interview, he said, "I will not include cricketers in it. However, some groups were definitely involved in fixing the game." Speaking of that match, the toss was thrown twice in this match, in which captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni did not hear the voice (head or tail) of Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara and tossed was thrown again, in which Sri Lankan team won the toss and chose to bat first.
The Sri Lankan team had scored 274 runs at the loss of 6 wickets in 50 overs on the basis of Mahela Jayawardene's century. According to the World Cup final, this score was good for the Sri Lankan team. However, the Indian team suffered two setbacks in the first over as Virender Sehwag and then Sachin Tendulkar for a while and the team came under pressure, but with brilliant innings of Gautam Gambhir (97 runs) and MS Dhoni (91), India won the match and the World Cup.
