Sachin Tendulkar won the Laureus best sporting moment award for the historic 2011 World Cup win. The moment when Tendulkar was lifted by his teammates won him this award for the best sporting moment.
After the 2011 World Cup final victory, the excited Indian team rushed to Tendulkar, lifted him and made a lap of honour. Former Australian cricketer Steve Waugh presented the trophy to the Master Blaster after the tennis veteran Bros Becker announced him as the winner.
