- Ravi Shastri: Dhoni finishes off in style, it's a magnificent strike into the crowd, India lifts the world cup after 28 years. The party has started in the dressing room. And it's an Indian captain, who has been absolutely magnificent on the night of the finals.
- Virat Kohli: This goes out to all the people of India. THis is my first world cup; I can't ask for more. Tendulkar has carried the burden of nation for 21 years; It was time we carried him. Chak de India!
- Sachin Tendulkar: Couldn't have asked for anything more than this. Winning the world cup is the proudest moment of my life. Thanks to my team-mates. Without them, nothing would have happened. I couldn't control my tears of joy. Thanks to the support staff. Thanks to Mike Horn, who has helped with the expectations and pressure. The team stuck together in the rough phases and proved people wrong who doubted our ability. Self belief has been always there but in the last two years, we have been very consistent. It's been great honour to be part of this team. Thanks to Gary and Paddy Upton.
- MS Dhoni: [Final post match presentation] I wanted to bat up the order and Gary backed me and by the senior players. I had a point to prove to myself.
- Harbhajan Singh: It means the world to me. I have been part of the three world-cups. This is for the nation. Thank you very much, we love you. This cup is for the people. Love you India!
- Gautam Gambhir: All credit goes to Sachin Tendulkar. We played for him. Beating Australia and Pakistan and now this, its a dream come true.
