Description

The 2015 Cricket World Cup was more than just a sporting event; it was a symphony of emotions, unforgettable moments, and a rollercoaster of experiences that left an indelible mark on cricket fans worldwide. Rajdeep Sardesai and Nikhil Naz rewind those moments, focussing on India’s campaign that ended in the semifinals. What is the one memory about the Indian team that Rajdeep feels troubled about?One poignant memory lingers in the mind of Nikhil, is the memory of that moment when MS Dhoni, the iconic Indian captain, announced his retirement from test cricket amidst the World Cup fervor. However, even the most ardent fans sometimes admit when their idols falter. Rajdeep confessed, "I am his greatest fan, but that was one occasion where he got it wrong." Drawing parallels from the 1992 World Cup, both Rajdeep and Nikhil reminisced about how players entered the 2015 World Cup fatigued from test matches. The exception was Virat Kohli, who was as fresh as an apple and in the form of his life.Controversies abounded during the World Cup, including the unjust blame on Anushka Sharma for Kohli's performance.In 2015, the rise of social media added a new layer of scrutiny and critique. And when India lost to Australia, its host, it left a bitter taste in the mouths of Indian fans.Listen in to more untold stories.Produced by Anna PriyadarshiniSound Mix by Kapil Dev Singh
