domestic destinations, half a dozen experts at travel companies told ET.

T20 World Cup, starting next Sunday, poses a dilemma. As a tournament, it is great. But when you think of the Indians in the IPL, particularly those chosen for the T20 World Cup, a sense of unease sets in. In fact, in a fantasy XI based on IPL performances, only two Indians deserve a place. That tells you something about India’s chances in the T20 World Cup. This Indian team doesn’t appear formidable as the tournament approaches. This probably marks the first time in years that an Indian side is entering the World Cup with such little hype.
