After the defeat against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2021, Indian captain Virat Kohli said that the Indian team had scored 20 to 25 runs less. Because of this, there was not much pressure on the Pakistan batsmen and they easily chased down the target. Shaheen Afridi put our batsmen under pressure. It was because of his spell that our batting got shattered.
When a reporter asked Virat a question about the team combination, Virat got furious. He said- "What do you think. I think the team I played for was the best. You will drop someone, will you remove Rohit Sharma. If you want any controversy, let me know now."
Captain Virat further said- 'We are the team that respects the game and we are not the ones who don't see the direction ahead from a single game. We treat every team the same. We will now move forward with a positive attitude. Pakistan played better than us today. You don't win by 10 wickets just like that. It is important to give them credit. We tried to put pressure on them, but they played much better than us. There is no guarantee that we will play and win every match. We scored well according to our situation. They should be given credit for finishing this match firmly'.
As soon as the dew started falling during Pakistan's batting, it benefited them immensely. Many small factors made a big difference. If we had 20-25 more runs, we would have won. But Pakistan's bowling didn't give us a chance to get that. If we stick to the process, we can deal with any situation going forward. The toss also plays an important role. The T20 World Cup has always been a tournament with more intensity. Whatever happens to us under one team will be good. Pakistan lags us in every field.
