India had a  very good run at the world cup.  Just that we came up against a better team this time and could not get past them.  In a sport as in life, we are only obligated to try, we are not obligated to succeed.  So in that sense, India should be proud of their achievement.
 Now, I have a huge issue with the kind of regressive and misogynistic jibe taken at Anuskha Sharma, girlfriend of Virat Kohli.  I am sure he didn't go out on purpose to fail on one of the biggest stage and make a fool of himself!  It a game of chance and it can happen to anyone.  If she was his wife, and not his girlfriend, then then would have been pious outpouring coming her and not the vile comments she is getting on the social media.  After all nobody said anything when Sachin's or Rahul's wives watched cricket matches.  That source of the resentment is the ''Gifriend''.  What kind of a medieval mindset is that, especially among the young?  Doesn't Novak Djokovic's girlfriend watches when he plays in a major tournament?  The next thing they will say is that Anuskha is also responsible for the mind numbing poverty in this country!
