Sachin Tendulkar, the leading run-scorer in international cricket, was lifted onto his teammates’ shoulders Saturday and carried around Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. India had won cricket’s World Cup for the first time in 28 years, and the party was on. The six-wicket victory at home over Sri Lanka gave the veteran batsman his first title in six attempts and sparked celebrations across the nation of 1.2 billion people. “It’s the ultimate thing, and I’m experiencing it,” the 37-year-old Tendulkar said. “It’s never too late as they say. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.”
