Indians defeat results to dismay and shock on Wednesday when India lost the match against New Zealand and lost the chance to win world cup. This defeat broke many hearts and made people really aggressive.
Until the end of the semi-final against New Zealand, India still had a chance, where crowd of some 400-500 fans cheered and danced at every big hit on a big screen.
But when Dhoni, India’s last hope, was remarkably run out by Martin Guptill’s direct hit to follow Ravindra Jadeja back to the pavilion, the fans knew the game is over and many walked out, sadly.
“We are feeling sad, and you can see me, I feel like crying,” said office worker Neeraj Singh, sobbing, after New Zealand’s dramatic 18-run win”
Fellow fan said that after India lost early wickets, including captain Virat Kohli’s to reduce the two-time champions to 24 for four, Dhoni and Jadeja were their last hope of victory.
“We were thinking we will get the World Cup, but how can I say, we are feeling very bad and sad now,” he said.
Jayati Arora, another office worker, agreed. “At the start [of the match] I didn’t think India would win but then our hopes were increasing. But at the last we lost the match, so I feel very low and sad.”
“A disappointing result, but good to see #TeamIndia’s fighting spirit till the very end,” the prime minister said on Twitter. “India batted, bowled, fielded well throughout the tournament, of which we are very proud. Wins and losses are a part of life.”
