India's shocking loss vs Bangladesh

Team India came into the World Cup as one of the favourites after losing in the finals of the previous edition. India had legendary players like Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, and Sachin Tendulkar in the side. There were a total of 16 teams in the World cup divided into four groups, wherein the top 2 teams of each group would progress to the Super 8 stage. India had Bermuda, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka in their group.

India faced Bangladesh in their first game, where India was humbled by the Bangladeshi bowlers to bundle the entire team for an under par score of 191 runs. In reply, Tamim Iqbal scored a commanding half-century for Bangladesh & things started to roll for them. Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al-Hasan later scored half-centuries each to coast Bangladesh to a remarkable victory and hushed the Indian team, fans around the world.

Although India overwhelmed Bermuda in their next game by a huge margin, India lost to Sri Lanka to make the early exit from the tournament. This was one of the most heart-breaking moments in the World cup and Indian cricket history.
