ICC World Cup 2011: India vs. Bangladesh- Expert review
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Virender-Sehwag-c95429 showed once again that he is the man for big occasions and pressure has no affect on him.
If it was any other batsman, he would have wanted to settle his nerves down before launching an attack on the opposition, but not Sehwag, as he struck a boundary on the very first ball of the ICC World Cup 2011.
Although, Bangladeshi fast bowlers did help him with wayward bowling, one must give credit to Sehwag for the entertainment he provided cricket fans on the first day of the tournament.
Scoring 175 runs in a world cup match is definitely not an average achievement.
Sehwag was responsible for the run out of Sachin Tendulkar but he did not let Indian fans down and converted his start into a big innings, which ensured that India post a huge score on the board.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Virat-Kohli-c95424 was under pressure before this match as he was given preference over Suresh Raina but he proved once again that he is the future of India’s batting line-up.
Kohli played second fiddle to Sehwag for some time but he came into his own afterwards and struck a brilliant century, which came off only 83 balls, with the help of 8 fours and a couple of massive sixes.  
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s batsmen proved once again that they are the most destructive batting line-up of the world and possess the ability to post big runs on the board with consistency.
Bangladesh’s bowling line-up looked toothless in the absence of former captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mashrafe-Mortaza-c1917, who was ruled out of this world cup because of an injury. Indian openers did not face any difficulty with the new ball and they had enough momentum when the
spinners came into the attack.
Shakib Al http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hasan-c61990 would be hoping that his fast bowlers would give him a better start in the upcoming matches so that the spinners are more effective.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tamim-Iqbal-c2640 and Shakib Al Hasan played impressively but their inexperience was quite evident as at-least one of
them needed to carry on if the home team was to get any closer to the mammoth total set by India.
However, these are good signs for the Bengali Tigers for the upcoming matches and a red signal for all the teams in group ‘B’ as none of them can afford to take Bangladesh lightly.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gary-Kirsten-c58527 would be very happy with this victory but their bowling line-up is a huge worry as the young Bangladeshi batsmen scored 289 runs against them. The situation might have been a lot different without Sehwag’s blazing ton.
India is rated as the hot-favourite of this event but they have to do some serious work on their bowling if they have a realistic chance of lifting the most illustrious trophy of international cricket.
