Walking down memory lane with India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in an Instagram live session, Sangakkara explained what actually happened at the moment.
In his sixth appearance in the showpiece event, Tendulkar and the Indian team had finally tasted success as they had defeated Sri Lanka by six wickets in the final.
With a humongous six into the crowd on April 2, 2011, then India skipper MS Dhoni had fulfilled the long-cherished dream of Tendulkar, who had almost achieved everything except his hands on the coveted trophy.
After Gautam Gambhir's heroic 97, Dhoni's unbeaten 91 led India to a six-wicket win at the Wankhede Stadium to help India to their second title.
The celebrations that night continued until the wee hours of the morning. The tri-colour was flying high and it was truly a moment for every Indian to cherish.
The stylish left-hander had scored 97 while Dhoni, who had promoted himself to No 4, smashed an unbeaten 91 as India won by six wickets.
The moment, titled 'Carried on the shoulders of a nation', describing the moment when Team India members carried Tendulkar on their shoulders across the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai following their 2011 World Cup victory, received the maximum number of votes by the fans.
Under Dhoni's leadership, India won the inaugural T20 World Cup in South Africa before winning the 2011 ODI World Cup as hosts at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
MS Dhoni is widely regarded as one of the greatest finishers that limited-overs cricket has ever seen. However, at this stage of his career, Ganguly said that MS should try and evaluate where he stands and then take a call accordingly.
Kirsten led India to the 2011 World Cup victory on home soil and then oversaw Proteas' rise to the numero uno spot in Test rankings.
