Fellow Angry Indian Fans, you need to calm down. Losing and winning is a part of our life, just accept it and move on.All we need to know is that India lost with grace. @imjadeja sir and @msdhoni sir were excellent, but couldn’t make it to the target. #INDvsNZ pic.twitter.com/su5W0Zq0o8

At the end of the game, Virat Kohli gave credits to the Kiwi bowlers and also praised Ravindra Jadeja. “The swing and help they got from the surface - the skill from them was on display. Jaddu had an outstanding couple of games. He went with so much clarity, MS had a good partnership with him,” he said. With this, New Zealand sails into the finals of the CWC 2019.
