‘Lot of cricket left to play’: Virat Kohli ‘optimistic’ despite 2nd straight defeat at T20 World Cup

After the Indian team lost to New Zealand by 8 wickets on Sunday, their chances of reaching the T20 World Cup semi-finals were severely hit. New Zealand achieved a modest goal of 111 games in 14.3 games, which also reduced India’s net running rate to -1.609. This means that India is now fifth in Group 2, only one step above Scotland. India not only wants to win the remaining three games by a big score, but also wants Afghanistan to beat New Zealand.

It is safe to say that India’s semifinal hopes are currently hanging in the balance, but captain Virat Kohli surprisingly managed to remain optimistic about his team’s chances of reaching the semifinals. “When you play for India, there are a lot of expectations. We are watched, people come to the stadium, and everyone who plays for India needs to accept and deal with it.

We did not do this in these two games, this That’s why we didn’t win,” Corley said in the post-Sunday’s game awards ceremony. “We must be optimistic and take planned risks. We must get rid of the pressure, continue our process, and play a positive cricket brand. There are many cricket balls that can play a role in the game. The game.”
