2007 World Cup: How Did Team India Collapse? | The Biggest What If in Indian Cricket



2007 World Cup. One of the strongest-looking Indian teams ever… and one of the most shocking early exits in cricket history.

Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni, Zaheer Khan and several other world-class players were part of Team India.

Yet India were eliminated in the first round after losing to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

So what actually went wrong?

Was it the team combination?
Was it Greg Chappell's influence?
Was it the batting order?
Was it the decision to bat first against Bangladesh?
Was there a lack of role clarity?
Or was the dressing room already under too much pressure?

In this video, we go back to the 2007 West Indies World Cup and examine the decisions, mistakes, controversies and circumstances that contributed to India's shocking campaign.

We also explore one of the biggest questions in Indian cricket:

WHAT IF India had got those crucial decisions right?

What if Sachin Tendulkar had opened?
What if India had bowled first against Bangladesh?
What if every player had a clearly defined role?
What if the dressing room environment had been different?

Could this team have gone all the way and won the World Cup?

Four years later, many of these same players would help India win the 2011 World Cup. That makes the 2007 campaign one of the biggest "What Ifs" in Indian cricket history.

This is not just a story about a World Cup defeat. It is a story about talent, pressure, leadership, strategy, team management and the fine margins that can completely change cricket history.

Watch until the end and let us know your opinion:

Could Team India have won the 2007 World Cup?
