India’s humiliating loss at the hands of England in the 20-20 World Cup semi-final has forced the Indian cricket fraternity scrambling for answers. The team that was expected to go all the way has been thrown out with a 10-wicket defeat.

This loss has forced many to re-evaluate the structure of the entire Indian cricket. In press conferences and on social media fans and journalists alike have put forth difficult questions in front of the team management as well as players.

Rohit Sharma after the match credited their bowling and fielding for the loss. “I thought we still batted pretty well at the back end to get to that score, but we weren’t good enough with the ball,” Rohit said at the post-match presentation. “It was definitely not a wicket where a team could come and chase down [that target] in 16-17 overs. But yeah, these things happen. Like I said, with the ball we just didn’t turn up today.”

The Indian skipper was so disheartened by the loss that he didn’t even appear for the post-match press conference. India head coach, Rahul Dravid addressed the journalists after the loss and said, “Disappointed finish in the semis. Would have liked to go in the finals. They were the better team in all departments. After a loss like this, it’s tough to reflect on things. Overall, we ran a pretty good campaign. Showed good skills. We can look back at things we have improved on and build it for the next World Cup. Runs on the board was something…in the semi-finals….we have been batting well in the tournament. It’s just that maybe when the game started, the boys said the wicket was slow and tacky. We had a good last over. We should have been able to get 180-185.”

Fans have also started to call out the Indian team management from top to bottom for the dismal performance. Many have lashed out at Rahul Dravid for the team’s meek approach in big events. Rohit Sharma is also in the line of fire as fans have demanded both to step down from their positions and give others a chance.
