India's Virat Kohli against Afghanistan (Source: Reuters) T20 World Cup LIVE Stream: Outgoing head coach Ravi Shastri and captain Virat Kohli, who will lead the country for one last time in the shortest format, would aim to finish India’s underwhelming T20 World Cup campaign on a positive note with a win over Namibia in the team’s final Super 12 match on Monday.
On Sunday, New Zealand smashed the winning runs against Afghanistan much to the disappointment of the Indian fans, who were hoping against hope that a miracle will happen under the blazing afternoon sun at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
The mood in the Indian camp was evident when BCCI’s official media whataspp group had a message for the journalists “The optional training session in the evening has been cancelled.” It was understandable dejection as for first time since the 2012 edition of this event, India had failed to make the knockout stage of an ICC event.
The Indian players, who kept an eye on the TV watching Afghanistan battle it out against the Black Caps, knew by the halfway stage of the game that all of them would now have to take the flight back to their respective cities on Tuesday.
India lost two crucial tosses, batted awfully in slightly, if not very, testing conditions and then on a dew-laden surface bowled atrociously.
For Kohli, who is all set to even lose his ODI captaincy in the coming days, this wasn’t how he would have liked to end his T20 captaincy stint with the national team having already quit IPL captaincy. It is also the first time since the 2013 Champions Trophy that an Indian men’s team has failed to reach at least the semi-final stage of an ICC event.
