What if India lost the final ???

  1. Dhoni would be called the worst captain of all time for not picking Ashwin in the final.
  2. Sachin Tendulkar would have retired without winning the world cup. People will speculate him playing in the 2015 WC
  3. Dilshan would have been the Man of the tournament
  4. Jayawardene's knock would be compared with Ricky Ponting's knock in the 2003 finals. He would have been the man of the match
  5. Harbhajan would have been termed an 'ineffective spinner' unable to take wickets in spinning wickets
  6. Kohli would have lost his position in the team
  7. Sreesanth would be dropped indefinitely from the team for his poor performances in the world cup
  8. Zaheer Khan would be reprimanded for bowling a poor final spell
  9. Sidhu would have screamed all over TV saying omission of Ashwin was the reason
  10. Sangakara would have not stepped down from captaincy, Dhoni would have been removed from captaincy
  11. Critics will point fingers at Sachin and say he has never performed in crucial matches
  12. Gary Kirsten's exit from the team would have been quiet. He would have never been approached to stay back.
  13. Pepsi would remove all its ads featuring Men bleeding in blue
  14. Ashwin would become a regular member of the team
  15. Muralitharan would have achieved the highest glory for the second time in his last game
  16. The BCCI would have never announced 1 crore prize money for all players. 
  17. Kapil Dev and his team would still be approached during the 2015 world cup and asked how it felt to win the world cup. You will then see Kapil saying 'I am confident that this team will surely win the world cup'
  18. India's poor record in the finals will continue. Cricinfo.com would put up statistics displaying how India have poorly performed in the finals over the last few years.
  19. One section of India will console themselves with the fact that India won Australia and Pakistan in the QF and SF respectively.
  20. Dhoni would consider going back to his 'old and lucky' hair style with long hair.. ;)

And finally,

Kohli would have never said these golden words 'Tendulkar has carried the burden of the nation for 21 years. It is time we carried him on our shoulders'
