<P> In reply , India lost their opener Virender Sehwag in the second ball of the innings . Sachin Tendulkar , too , got out in quick succession . The next set of batsmen , Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli , added 83 runs in 15 overs before the latter got out in the 22nd over . India captain MS Dhoni , promoting himself up the order , joined Gambhir and they both added 109 runs , an Indian record in a World Cup final . Gambhir got out for 97 runs in the 42nd over . India chased down the total and won the match by four wickets in the 49th over . Dhoni was declared the `` man of the match '' for scoring 91 runs while his compatriot Yuvraj Singh was awarded the `` man of the series '' . </P>
