A signed cricket bat used by captain M S Dhoni during India's victorious 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup campaign, signed and inscribed to the face in black marker pen WITH LUV, M S DHONI, further inscribed to the inside edge IND V NZ, 2011 WORLD CUP, in English willow by Sareen Sports for the sponsor Reebok, with decal stamped TON, both edges with the Sareen Sports branded TON stamp A superb opportunity to acquire a bat used during the Cricket World Cup by the man who had the honour of leading his country to victory, scoring the winning runs in style (a sailing six) and proudly lifting the trophy for the Indian nation. The bat has been personally donated for the auction by Mr Dhoni and is accompanied with a signed letter of authenticity from ''Mahi''. In addition to being used in the World Cup this was also the bat that the Indian captain used to score an unbeaten century v New Zealand in the World Cup warm-up match played at the M A Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai, 16th February 2011. Up until the World Cup final, and judged by his own high standards, the Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni had experienced a subdued tournament. However, they say 'cometh the hour, cometh the man', and so it was to prove as the skipper led from the front scoring an unbeaten 91 and leading India to World Cup triumph, as well as being voted Man of the Match.
