Hello and welcome to our coverage of Match 12, and if this one doesn't get this World Cup going, I don't know what will. After a string of one-sided encounters to kick off the tournament which has gotten off to a lukewarm start at best, we have India vs Pakistan taking place in front of a potential 130000-plus spectators in Ahmedabad. The hype, as always, is unreal. People are arriving from all corners, despite the exorbitant prices of flights and hotels, counting themselves lucky to even get hold of tickets - a chunk of which would've been reserved for the who's who from various fields. Everyone wants a piece of the action, and the organisers, in their great generosity, have thrown in some extra performances as well from various artists who perhaps couldn't make it in time for a proper opening ceremony. So here we are then, with the stage and everything set, and with people scurrying on the outfield to get things in order. Let's hope for a cracker. This is Sagar Chawla, and I'll be taking you through the action, and the madness, along with my colleagues - Anurag Hegde, MS Ramakrishnan and Venky.
