Lets skip how many tournaments (triseries or more) India has participated in since one day internationals started in 1970s, but from 46 finals that they've managed to reach in so far, won only 17. Since 2000, India has been in 16 finals but managed to touch the trophy just twice (Commonwealth Bank triseries in Australia, March 2008 and Idea cup triseries in Sri Lanka last year)..
Except World cup 1983, three Asia cups and once sharing Champions trophy, Indian record of winning more than 3 country cricket tournament isn't an impressive one. but as mentioned, Asia cup has been luckiest tournament for men in blue, which they've won 4 times and today is a chance to better their ... ..

Asia cup tournament was a brain child of Jagmohan Dalmiya, the former president of Board of cricket control in India (BCCI). From mid 1980s through to 1990s, Dalmiya dominated world cricket and even went on to president International cricket council (ICC) as well as ACC (Asian cricket council)..
Naturally, Dalmiya's baby = Asia cup, was a regular fixture every second year (1984, 86, 88 and 90) and India were frequent winners, claiming four of first five trophies. Suddenly, Dalmiya lost his power in late 90s and so did Indian team, failing to win any of next four asia cups.

That salty humidity, those constantly buzzing music bands and then an ever fighting bunch of boys who thrive in home conditions ~ Sri Lankans are one of the toughest teams to beat when in Sri Lanka..
On top of it, it's Asia cup, a tournament that Lankans have won thrice out of last four, with the exception of 2000 edition which Pakistan won. Pakistan, as we begin the 10th asia cup, are first challengers of 4 time winners Sri Lanka in a championship where each of 4 teams plays another once before a top two qualify for finals (no semi-finals). Since Bangladesh are relatively inexperienced, it should be a 3 way shoot-out for finals with India as third ... .. Read complete article |
