Sachin Tendulkar comments on India's heartbreaking loss in the T20 World Cup semifinal: "A coin has two sides.
Interview with Shankersinh Vaghela: "Be it any party, it is not the party that is running it; it is the money. A party can only be run by someone with millions of dollars; else, no.
Another ICC event means another chance India has missed. The team lead by Rohit Sharma was eliminated from the T20 World Cup on Thursday after a humiliating 10-wicket loss to England. As England's Jos Buttler and Alex Hales cruised to a record 170-run stand, finishing the chase with four overs to spare, the Indian attack was unable to break their partnership. Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar spoke on the painful defeat following the game. In contrast to their last campaign, India scripted a more dominant run in the group stage in the UAE last year and appeared more assured in their approach.They finished first in Group 2 of the Super 12 tournament by winning four of their five games, qualifying them for the semifinals, where they faced England, who had placed second in Group 1.
Only after Hardik Pandya hit a blistering 63-run innings did India's top-order start to gel and make the most of the shorter boundaries. Given their batting depth, however, the total of 168 was never sufficient against the level of opposition they encountered. In response, England's first-innings players just dominated the game and provided no chance to India to mount a comeback. England triumphed by 10 wickets to advance to the final thanks to Hales' unbeaten 86 off 47 balls and Buttler's unbeaten 80 off 49.
“A coin has two sides, so does life. If we celebrate our team’s success like our own then we should be able to take our team's losses too… In life, they both go hand in hand. #INDvsENG,” Sachin tweeted after India's loss in the semis.The T20 World Cup final, which will take place on Sunday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, will now pit England against Pakistan.
