After the Indian bowlers put up a disciplined performance to restrict Australia to 239 for eight, Tendulkar (117 not out) batted like a true champion as he not only notched up his 42nd ODI century but shouldered the responsibility to steer India home with 25 balls to spare.
The 34-year-old champion batsman, who has not been in the best of forms in the tri-series, could not have found a better time to make a statement with his bat, breaking the jinx of not having an ODI century on Austsralian soil in the process.
Tendulkar, who defied a groin injury in the later part of his innings, found an able ally in young Rohit Sharma (66) as the duo added 123 runs for the fourth wicket to pull India out of a spot of bother at 87 for three and put the team on course for a remarkable victory in a thrilling floodlit contest at the SGC.
It was a stunning exhibition of skill and composure by the Indians who relied on a heady mix of youth and experience to dominate the proceedings from the very first ball.
Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni hit the winning runs by clobbering a boundary to trigger off scenes of wild celebration among Indian fans in the galleries.

Congratualtiosn to all Indians.Also read the bits of this article on the website ninemsn.com.au/sports/cricket and extend ur support Here are the bits of the article:Harbhajan 'monkeying around'By WWOS staff08:00 AEST Mon Mar 3 2008Go mobile Have your say on Harbhajan's antics. Controversial Indian spin bowler Harbhajan Singh is making headlines again, reportedly making monkey gestures and spitting towards section of the SCG crowd during last night's one day final. According to Fairfax publications, match referee Jeff Crowe is investigating the allegations against Harbhajan with the possibility of charges being laid. The behaviour follows a long summer of on and off field animosity between Australian and Indian players, with Harbhajan at the centre of the majority of incidents. Following the second Test in Sydney Harbhajan was charged with calling Andrew Symonds a "monkey" and suspended by match referee Mike Proctor. The charges were later downgraded, due to a lack of evidence and following threats from Indian management that they would abandon the tour.

Indian cricket team needs sourav ganguly to open the innings.Dhoni is forgeting what is the contribution of ganguly as a cricketer.
Congratulations to Team India. Keep it up.Knock them (the Cry Babies) out of the RING in Brisbane itself, to show them who are the World Champs. You have done it in the T20's.Chak De India.
Every time India loses we get a lot of unsolicited advice from the Aussie experts like remember when Ian Chappal advised rather ill advised Sachin to hang his boots.I was so upset that I reacted agreeing with him that yes Sachin should hang his boots on Ians ears and buy new pair and play with renewed vigour.I urge my countrymen not to fall for these planned attack via the media by these self appointed experts and I remember many falling for that planted advice (which is done to destroy the team in any which way), and agreeing with ian.Indians must stand united behind our sportsmen .Now that that India has won may I request our experts to write in their columns what ponting should do to convert his misplaced superiority complex into inferiority complex if it has not yet happened. Give it back dudes.Bhajji must be avenged.
REST ASSURE-TEDU WILL BE THE PIVOT FOR LOOSING NEXT TWO FINALS.
Losing ...not loosing. Guys ..c'mon ..i have been correcting you all for a year now. Get it right now ...will ya ?
Are you a pessimist or talking negatively will result in positive superstition, or you an aussie fan
I HAVE FOLLOWED HIS WAY OF PLAYING CLOSELY.HE HAS DEVELOPED THE TENDENCY OF SCORING IN ONE MATCH AND THAN RELAX FOR NEXT FIVE
It's a moment to cherish! INDIA never won a oneday at Sydney, Aussie's had never lost to us in the 3 Tri nation finals, Sachin has for long been accused of not doing enough in any finals, he had never scored a one day hundred on Austrailian soil.All happening in a day, that saw poetic justice in Bhajji weeding out both Hayden
Yunano misro roma , sab mit gaye is jahan se.Baki abhi talak hai namonishan hamara,kuch baat hai ki hasti, mit ti nahin hamari,sadiyon raha hai dushman dauren jahan hamaraSarey jahan se accha HINDUSTAN hamara JAI HIND
