undercasting Bangladesh as minor team.
Over confidence of Indian team.

Technically, there was nothing wrong with any team.. Bangladesh gave its best and Indians too did their best but it was one of those days for the team India when nothing worked for them... Now we can blame multiple Indian players for the defeat but the fact is that the same team defeated West Indies in warm up matches by a huge margin...
As for boycotting the products endorsed by players.. well, the players do not endorse products while playing so to blame it on their acting skills/ product endorsement at a time when they are not playing would not be fair. Australian team members (and other cricketers) endorse/ advertise products too, yet they play good on ground. On moral grounds we can blame the players for making obscene amount of money in advertisements, but than that has nothing to do with cricket...Moreover, how many people actually buy a Pepsi or Royal Stag because some powdered cricketer endorses it?
Lets be fair in our judgement,... Indian team lost the match as Bangladesh played better while they struggled because of some bad luck...
Eventually, I would though still recommend sacking of selectors for keeping Sehwag and leaving out Pathan, Sreesanth or even VVS Laxman who have shown much promise with bat and ball.
PS: It's about time that we all realize that countries like Bangladesh or Ireland or other new cricket playing nations are here now and they will get better from here onwards. Cricket is not just for few countries of the world. New countries will come and will have better playing skills in near future... In short, the next world cup will see countries like Bangladesh as major teams and not under-dogs..
Finally, I am not part of any stupid gimmick like Blue Billion but I would still love to see India doing better from here onwards.

Bangladesh played better in all aspects of the game.
Also, Bangladesh had nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Simple.

the body languages of both teams show the reason from the very beginning.

i think age was a big factor. look at the age of bangladeshi team, most of them around 20-25.besides,they do not have any personality conflict inside their team, so they play together, not individually.
