Ravichandran Ashwin has said in his latest video that this is what losing the World Cup feels like to Indian players.
India went all the way to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup and crashed out miserably by 10 wickets. India, which was expected to go to the finals at least, has suffered a bad defeat in the semi-finals and the fans are in shock for the Indian players.
Players like KL Rahul and Virat Kohli took responsibility for this defeat and expressed their grief on their social media. Ravichandran Ashwin released an exclusive video for this and said, “I can understand the fans’ excitement. We have the same regret.” He spoke consolingly.
But the fact that Rohit Sharma did not express any regret over this caused more pain to the fans. Ravichandran Ashwin mentioned in his latest video how upset the players are.
It is also disappointing for us to be out of the World Cup halfway through. I can understand that many people will be shocked by this decision.
In a series like the World Cup, getting to the semi-finals and finals is huge. But with too much faith and expectation on the Indian team, it was not acceptable to reach the semi-finals. Not only me but fellow Indian players can understand this.
You must also realize that we too are 200-300 times more upset than the fans because of this defeat. We have to think about the contribution of the Indian players throughout this series.” said.
He also said, “Congratulations to the England team. Since 2015, the way they have been performing in white-ball matches has been posing a huge threat to the opposition.
Eoin Morgan has completely transformed the team’s game. After Jos Buttler came in, playing fearless cricket has been their strength.” He also spoke.
