March 20,2011 Today's match is being played between India and West Indies. India lose wicket of Tendulkar early. West Indies bowler Ravi Rampaul jolted India in the first over dismissing Sachin Tendulkar for two in their World Cup Group B match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Tendulkar nicked the last delivery off Rampaul's first over giving a simple catch to wicketkeeper Devon Smith, after India decided to bat first in their last league match. Rampaul was not sure whether Tendulkar had nicked it to Thomas, but the maestro decided to walk back even though umpire Steve Davis negated the appeal.
Virender Sehwag and Piyush Chawla have been replaced by Suresh Raina and Ravichandran Ashwin in the Indian squad, whereas West Indies have rested Kemar Roach and Chris Gayle and included Rampaul and opener Kirk Edwards. The Teams standings before this match is as below :-
