India scored 413 runs, a World Cup record, against Bermuda with Sehwag's 87-ball 114, comprising of 3 sixes and 17 fours, and Yuvraj Singh's 46-ball 83 with 7 sixes being the highlights!
But India played against minnows Bermuda and not an Australia. Nevertheless, a win is a win. And since almost all those who batted on the Indian side should have felt good about their individual performances and the team's performance in general, I hope that it is with a feeling of elan (and not too much confidence) that India will go up against the much more experienced Sri Lankans in a few days time.
Anil Kumble proved his effectiveness and economy yesterday against Bermuda and I certainly hope that he will be retained for the match on Friday.
