The unexpected blows from Mortaza and Tamim Iqbal unsettled them from which they could not recover.

Before India started their campaign in the World Cup, two One Day series were held in India against West Indies and Sri Lanka. India won both the series most convincingly. Players became more complacent and over confident because of these victories when they started their world cup matches.
India's first match in the World Cup was against Bangladesh and they considered Bangladesh minnows and did not take them seriously in the match. However, Bangladesh sprung a surprise and game India a shock defeat. With this defeat a situation was created that if they have to enter Super 8, they must win the match against Sri Lanka. This has put the players sunder tremendous pressure and they could not cope up with this pressure and failed to perform to their potential against Sri Lanka.
All in all it was due to collective failure of both batsmen and bowlers which lead India's early exit from the World Cup.

Lot of peoples believe it was a setup, because two most dominant team, India N Pakistan lost in their first match against such a low rate teams , it mite be cuz of lack of practice and too much pressure however it is still disappointing they couldn't even make it to second round , hopefully next world cup (2010 i think) they will put up better performance *** finger cross***

Only because of the senior batsmen except Rahul Dravid.

Because they couldn't beat Bangladesh or Sri Lanka...possibly due to overconfidence or extreme pressure from their fans.

Other teams played better. There is no any other reason so stop asking this question again.
