As a long-suffering Cleveland native, I’m certainly used to Indian fans willing to find joy in even the worst defeats. But this is a whole other level.

These Indian fans (as in India India) were cheering wildly — IN-DI-A! IN-DI-A! etc. — yesterday at the Cricket World Cup:

This enthusiasm comes despite the fact that India was eliminated from the tournament almost three weeks ago.

The two teams actually on the field were England and Bangladesh.

Imagine how vocal these folks would be if their team were actually on the same continent.

Gotta admire the energy.
