Team India’s star batsman Virat Kohli has given his initial reaction after losing to England in the semi-final of the ongoing T20 World Cup in Australia. Team India’s dream of winning the T20 World Cup after 2007 will now be a little longer because Team India’s campaign in the 2022 T20 World Cup is over.
Virat Kohli took to Twitter to share his disappointment and wrote, “We leave Australian shores to achieve our dreams and with despair in our hearts but we as a group can take back many memorable moments and aim to be better from here on.”
In another tweet, Virat thanked the supporters of Team India and wrote, “Thank you to all our fans who came in large numbers to support us at the stadium. Always proud to wear this jersey and represent our country. Is.”
Virat started the T20 World Cup tournament with a bang by scoring a memorable 82* against Pakistan in Melbourne to help Team India chase down the target of 160 runs despite losing four wickets for 31 runs in nearly six overs.
The knock set the tone for the rest of the tournament for the star batsman, as he continued his stellar form with half-centuries against Netherlands and Bangladesh in the group stage.
Then reached the semi-final against England at the Adelaide Oval, which is statistically Virat’s happy hunting ground. Here Virat has scored 957 runs in 11 matches at an average of 73.61 in 15 innings. He has scored five centuries and four 50s with a best score of 141 at the venue.
In the match, he scored another fifty for his country and finished with a score of 50 off 40 balls. This time he got the full support of all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who played a valuable innings of 63 runs in just 33 balls. Team India scored 168/6 in 20 overs.
