\'World Cup is being played in India and we\'re expected to win\'

February 10, 2011 Bangalore



There is nothing bigger than the World Cup in cricket. And if the mega-event is played in India, then nothing beats the country\'s crazy fan-following.



The whole nation wants just one result: an India triumph. If the team achieves that goal, the already demigod status of the players touches new heights; if it does not, their effigies are burnt and houses stoned.



Thus, it was but natural that India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni dwelled on the hype and expectations of the team ahead of the tournament, beginning February 19.



\"A lot of hype is always created around the World Cup, but I know that every series that we play we have a lot of expectations. This time the World Cup is being played in India and we are expected to win. The atmosphere was much the same when we went for the 2007 World Cup in the West Indies. The expectations will always be there, but it won\'t be right to consider this as the final frontier,\" he affirmed, in Bangalore, on Thursday.
