“Ever since Kapil’s Devils won the World Cup in 1983, the excitement surrounding one-day cricket’s premier tournament has grown exponentially with each successive edition. That win was, in many ways, the best thing that happened to Indian cricket, but in some ways is also the worst thing teams that followed have to deal with. Irrespective of the actual strength of the Indian team, their chances of success in certain conditions or a tournament of a specific format, the expectations have been sky high. This edition was no different. For once, though, there was just the sense that it was not unreasonable to hope for some degree of success. No one believed that India walked into the tournament being favorites to win it, yet few would seriously entertain the thought that they were incapable of reaching the semifinals. All the pre-tournament talk hinged on how important the Super 8s phase was. It was just a given that India would stroll into the Super 8s, and then the real tournament would begin.” Anand Vasu, Asst.
