Reason behind India early exit from T20 WorldCup 2009

India was the champions of the T20 world cup 2007, which has been played in South Africa.In South Africa Dhoni's team started the tournament as a underdog, that's why there was no pressure on them, but this time the started as a hot favorite and there was a pressure on them to defend their crown.After the winning the T20 World Cup Dhoni's men own some good series for India, Australia series, series in New Zea land and won two series in Sri Lanka. Dhoni was truly on a high as India’s captain, which he touched in the last two years has turned into gold.India played too much cricket in recent times , and fitness of the players was become an issue that time.Over the last couple of years, they played almost non-stop cricket which entailed excessive travelling and in the Lalit Modi's mulli millioon shows they also engaed for a month before the the T20 World Cup in England.
Dhoni's team was not prepared for the world cup and his teammates was over-confident, arrogant and complacent and team selection for the crusial games also to be blammed for the world cup debacle.

Cricket, some say, is dying or close to dying in its country of origin England and even in West Indies. It is still unknown in most parts of the world. But in India, with 1.2 billion people crazy about it, cricket is 'religion'..

HOUGH PEOPLE in Indian sub-continent follow variety of different religions and Hinduism is regarded as the leading religion in this region. But today, the real India has a religion not heard by
many, but followed by most in India. Cricket is the biggest religion in India. This religion is quite phenomenal and has several gods who keep changing every few years or even months. Although, there is no holy book for this religion; people can remember the names and figures with ease.

India is considered as a poor country but still cricket, the rich man’s game, is the most popular. It is way ahead of other games and has overshadowed the national game ’Hockey’.
