The 2007 World Cup humiliation in Caribbean still fresh in his mind, Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni wants to get rid of the troubled memories by winning the four-match one-day series against the West Indies.
"Of course, it is not an easy thing to forget, especially that 2007 World Cup. It is always tough to forget that kind of tournament. It will be important for us to do well here," Dhoni said ahead of the first match in Kingston on Friday.
India had crashed out of the World Cup in the first week itself after embarrassing defeats at the hands of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
A year before the World Cup debacle, the team was thrashed 4-1 by the hosts in an ODI series. The Indian team comes into the series after a disappointing Twenty20 World Cup campaign where the defending champions failed to even make the semi-finals
