Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has cautioned his teammates not to get carried away by the excessive hype ahead of their World Cup final against Sri Lanka and stick to their basic job of playing "good cricket"
India's semi-final match against arch rivals Pakistan was billed as the "mother of all clashes" and generated tremendous media frenzy and the 29-run victory triggered passionate celebrations across the country.
"There'll be plenty of things happening around us, like in this game, but what's important is not to get distracted.
We all know what our jobs are as professional cricketers so we'll stick to that and try to play good cricket,"
Dhoni said.
