Is it possible to be too good at cricket? India is giving it the old college try and an entire subcontinent is freaking out as a result.
The team has reached the final of the men’s 50-over World Cup without losing a match. In fact, none have even been particularly close. Packed with all-time one-day greats such as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma with the bat, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja with the ball, this is hardly a surprise. I mean, India has left out players who would walk into every other starting XI in the competition. So why are its supporters in something of an anxiety spiral?
