Chennai, March 14: The Indian cricket squad arrived here today for Sunday’s crucial group B match of the World Cup against the West Indies.
The Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led side, smarting from the three-wicket loss to South Africa in Nagpur, arrived here from Delhi by a Jet airways flight this afternoon.
Sachin Tendulkar, who scored a century in the match against South Africa, Gautam Ghambir, Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan did not come with the rest of the team and are likely to join them tomorrow.
The players drove straight to the hotel and are not having any practice session today.
India suffered a stunning batting collapse as they lost nine wickets for only 29 runs to crumble to 296 all out in 48.4 overs after being 267 for one in the 40th over.
