Back home, all fans are dejected. Few have started taunting their cricketing idols as "flat track minnow bashersdols as "flat track minnow bashers.>> Most fans, however, want to know how the Indians went from pre-tournament favourites to serial semifinalists for posterity's sake.
So we attempt to deconstruct and clinically reflect back on 10 reasons for the loss:
1. BREAK THE JINX
India is a well-known serial semifinalist in ICC tournaments. This is not the first time India has been eliminated in the semi-finals of the T20 and ODI Men's World Cups. Adelaide in 2022, Manchester in 2019, Mumbai in 2016, and Sydney in 2015.
2. OVER-RELIANCE ON VIRAT AND SURYA
Virat wins your matches. Virat sets records and brings joy to the nation, albeit rather alone. In this tournament, the combination with Suryakumar Yadav amassed over 50 percent of the total India score. In knockout matches, any failure guaranteed that the men in blue would fall, which had a snowball effect on the match. Despite Pandya's carnage at the end, the Indian batting collapsed and appeared to be 30 runs short.
3. THE POSTING VS. CHASING DECISION
"I would have batted anyway," Rohit said after losing the toss and being given the opportunity to bat. The team batting first won 7 of the last 23 ICC World Cups, both semi-final and final T20 and ODIS, and the team chasing won 16 of them. Wasim Akram and Sunil Gavaskar have both promoted this fact on their respective TV shows.
4. KL RAHUL: BAD OR WORSE IN BIG MATCHES
Statistics show that in big games, KL Rahul is no longer the envy of his neighbours or the pride of his owners, with an abysmal record and slow play that depletes team confidence and slows the momentum of team strategy. In this World Cup, he scored only 128 runs in six innings. A look at KL Rahul in tournament semifinals and finals across formats .
