Today, I will describe the experience of 2007 World Cup. Both world Cup ODI and T20. Before the world cup started, India had played very good cricket since 2003 world cup. India famously won the both odi and test series versus pakistan in 2004. Under the captaincy of Rahul Dravid India were playing very good cricket. Greg Chappel was made the coach for India team in May 2004. He made very sudden change in the team like he often made Irfan Pathan to open the innings. He made Irfan Pathan an all-rounder. Combination of the team India was not good at that time.
Everyone knows that Austrailia was the hot favorite to win the series even before the World Cup started, India was also the favorite to win the World Cup
