The game is huge and the fans simply crazy. Cricket is so popular in India that no other sport comes even close and it might just have to do with the kind of players the country has produced over the last two decades. Be it Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Virender Sehwag or the current crop of superstars including Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni and Ajinkya Rahane, the game has grown leaps and bounds in recent years and the fans absolutely love it. Hence, it’s no surprise that this kind of crowd build up outside the Indian team hotel is very much expected before a game. Watch the players make their way to the stadium amidst huge fanfare.
