"Many Congratulations Guys! Something you will cherish all your life. Just like we from the 1983 group #WorldCup2011," Ravi Shastri wrote on Twitter.
However strangely, Ravi Shastri had tagged only India captain Virat Kohli and batting legend Sachin Tendulkar in his post on Twitter.
Yuvraj Singh, who was the Player of the Series for India in World Cup 2011, was quick to point it out to Ravi Shastri.

Though Ravi Shastri is not the one to be trolled that easily as he decided to comeback with an even better reply to Yuvraj Singh.

Notably, Ravi Shastri has played his part in making the World Cup 2011 winning moment a permanent memory in the minds of Indian cricket fans with his bit of commentary.
"Dhoni finishes off in style. A magnificent strike into the crowd! India lift the World Cup after 28 years," Shastri described MS Dhoni hitting Nuwan Kulasekara for a six over long on and finishing off the Indian chase in the World Cup final.
