The Men in Blue were never in contention for the World Cup considering their recent dismal past performances abroad. The idea that they were the front-runners for the trophy was just falsely manufactured and spread via commercials throughout the country by the brand companies in order to market their products. But in doing so, they have played with the hearts of millions of Indians. Obviously each one of us may have dreamt of a victory for Team India but the aspirations may not have reached the level of ‘invincibility’ had there not been so much cheap publicity of the concept.
These companies must be brought to book for spreading such misinformation through their advertisement for commercial gains.
