"11 PLAYERS, A BILLION HEARTBEATS"
Thats what is the slogan and that say it all. A cricket crazy nation will once again go into the shell of the past in the days of Mohammed Salim, Chuni Goswami, P.K.Banerjee and IM Vijayanwhere football used to be the game to watch in the Worlds 2nd most populated nation.
Leading the team will be the legendary Captain, the Sikkimese Sniper,

India's preparation for the tournament has not been really smooth in any respect learning some hard lessons in the path but the good thing is that their moral is high. India will be going without any fear of loosing and that sometimes pays off. Let's cheer up for the players who have tirelessly been preparing for the tournament for quite a few time.
what we want is Full commitment, thats more than enough.
Despite being grouped with teams like Australia, South Korea and Bahrain, Indian players are really up for it and that what matters at the end of the day.
The tournament will kick off tomorrow with the hosts Qatar going head to head against Uzbekistan at the Khalifa stadium in the Group A encounter. All matches will be broadcasted live and exclusive on ESPN & STARSPORTS.
