While revealing the reason behind it, Tendulkar&nbsp;said that had left-hander&nbsp;Gambhir&nbsp;got out, left-hander&nbsp;Yuvraj&nbsp;would have gone in and if right-hander&nbsp;Virat&nbsp;got out Dhoni&nbsp;would have gone to bat. After Virat&nbsp;was out in the 22nd over, Dhoni&nbsp;who agreed to the suggestion marched in which at first&nbsp;stunned the spectators but later turned out crucial for India who then easily beat&nbsp;Sri&nbsp;Lanka&nbsp;by 6 wickets&nbsp;to become the first country to win the&nbsp;World Cup at home.

The 51-year-old South African added that&nbsp;IPL is a huge highlight on the calendar for many cricketers, and a cash cow. Those players who have very recently broken through to the next level, would naturally be feeling this break very disruptive.
