Ex-India captain blasts Super 8 collapse
A former India captain tore into the team after their crushing defeat in the T20 World Cup Super 8 on Sunday, saying they were “humiliated on all fronts” in a performance that derailed their campaign.
India were outplayed with both bat and ball, conceding a hefty total before collapsing under pressure in the chase. The loss left their semi-final hopes hanging by a thread and sparked sharp criticism from former players.
“We were humiliated on all fronts. There was no fight, no intent,” the ex-captain said on television. “In a World Cup game, that is unacceptable.”
He added that the team “looked clueless against quality bowling,” urging senior players to take responsibility.
A former coach echoed the concern, noting, “You can lose a match, but not like this.” With knockout qualification at stake, India now face a must-win scenario to stay alive in the tournament.
