Sri Lankan veteran batsman and former captain Arvinda de Silva has refuted claims made by Minister Mahindanand Aluthgamge that the 2011 World Cup final was fixed and urged the ICC, BCCI and SLC to investigate this "lie". In an interview with local TV channel SIRASA, Aluthgamge, who was then Sri Lanka's Sports Minister, said that the 2011 World Cup final between India and Sri Lanka was fixed. "Today I am telling you that we sold the 2011 World Cup, I said this when I was the Sports Minister."

 

 

Addressing the allegations, De Silva, who was chairman of the SLC selectors, told the Sri Lankan newspaper Sunday Times, "We cannot let people get away with lies all the time." I request everyone that ICC, BCCI and SLC should investigate it immediately. "

 

 

He further said that, just like we cherished our World Cup victory, similarly players like Sachin Tendulkar cherish these moments of their lives. I think it is the duty of the Government of India and his cricket board in the interest of Sachin and crores of cricket lovers across India to initiate a fair inquiry to see if they have won a certain World Cup. "

 

 

"When such serious allegations are being made, it affects a lot of people. In this case, not only us, selectors, players and team management but Indian cricketers also won the world title. We must make it clear once and for all that the sport we love is good for it.

 

 

Former Sri Lankan player Kumar Sangakkara who was captain in the 2011 World Cup and Mahela Jayawardene also denied these claims.

 

 

Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara chose to bat after winning the toss in the 2011 World Cup final. Mahela Jayawardene scored a brilliant century and India were asked to chase the target of 275 runs. Gautam Gambhir (97) and then captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (91) helped India reach the target of six wickets to win the trophy. For the second time after 1983, Team India captured the World Cup title.
