The world cup 2011 kickstarted at sher-e-bangla stadium,mirpur with a bang for Indian supporters.The fireworks from Sehwag’s bat started in the first over of the tournament itself plundering 12 runs in that over.He came with a blistering knock whacking the bangla bowlers all around the park,leaving no margin for error for the bowlers. This match was deemed as a payback time for the Indian team and as a huge chance to get a revenge of their 2007 world cup opener debacle against Bangladesh. The indian team came on the field with a lesson to taught the Bangldeshis. Sehwag was in full swing to show what the difference lies between the two cricketing countries. As a result of the Kohli’s and Sehwag’s century India plundered a mammoth total of 370 well beyond the reach of Bangladesh fragile batting line-up. And it proved to be the same when they never actually seemed in the race to achieve the target.Though there were some individual brilliance in batting and they did make a respectable chase,but Indian curry was too hot to handle for them.
