#1 Against Bangladesh in Port of Spain (2007 World Cup)
It has been more than ten years since the fateful match. Yet, the vestiges remain scattered as debris inside every single Indian player associated with the events of that disastrous day at the Queen's Park Oval. On the other hand, their team's coming-of-age triumph continues to live within the Bangladeshi diaspora spread across the globe.
Touted as one of the favourites for clinching the title, a star-studded Indian outfit suffered an unshakeable jolt in their tournament opener. On a sluggish track, skipper Dravid won the toss and had no hesitation in batting first. Apart from Yuvraj, none of their batsmen could operate freely on the slow track. Ganguly crawled to a painstaking 129-ball 66 and the 'Men in Blue' laboured to a below-par total.
Sensing the opportunity to create history, Bangladesh batted with purpose. The charge was led by three of their most promising talents. All of Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan scored half-centuries to propel their country to a famous victory. India would eventually lose to Sri Lanka and crash out of the tournament at the group stage itself.
