England crushed the Indian team in the T20 World Cup on Thursday by 10 wickets at the Adelaide. The Men in blue have not won the T20 World Cup since its inaugural edition in 2007. Post India’s loss to England, a lot of questions have been raised. Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir came up with a cryptic post on Twitter after India lost the match against the English side.
“You only expect from those who can deliver! Chin up boys,” Gambhir tweeted.

India batted first and scored 168 runs in 20 overs. Virat Kohli yet again starred with the bat and scored a brilliant half-century. Hardik Pandya too played a blinder as he made 63 runs in just 33 balls. Opener KL Rahul once again failed to deliver as he got out after scoring just 5 runs.
In reply, England openers Buttler and Hales starred with the bat and led England to a facile win. England will now lock horns against Pakistan in the final of the T20 World Cup at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday.
In the post-match press conference, Indian team head coach Rahul Dravid said, “Obviously disappointed to finish in the semi-finals. Probably would have certainly liked to go a couple of steps further. But yeah, just outplayed, outclassed today”.
“They were the better team in all departments really. The scoreline showed that.”
India Squad: KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant(w), Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Dinesh Karthik, Yuzvendra Chahal, Harshal Patel, Deepak Hooda.
