After two brilliant wins, came a not so good day for the Indian cricket team.
Proteas, guided by a brilliant half century by David Miller, ably supported by Markram beat India in a low scoring thrilling match by 5 wickets.
Clearly, a below par score of 133 in 20 overs by India and that too mainly courtesy Suryakumar Yadav's 68 of 40 balls was not enough.
Anyways, there are more matches ahead and let us see how things proceed for India now.

Hoping for the best.
Rohit Sharma starts well but gets out to irrational shots .K.L.Rahul is not in a good form.
So there are some worries.

Suryakumar Yadav was simply outstanding but somehow Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant look like in too much of a hurry.

We made it to the semi finals but then lost to England. And then somehow Pakistan loosing the finals made the Indian cricket lovers hurt less 
. Cricket is not a game in India, it is something beyond logic here.

I think Sports matches should be viewed as sports matches.
Nothing more.
The overhype is too much.
But it's not easy to change the mindsets easily.

Yet some people seem to get happy or certain sort of high with all this frenzy and hype.
Even media can't keep on creating hype and selling that all the time!

It's not confusing if you get hold of a good article or writeup on Cricket.
But yes, it can seem a bit different as compared to many sports.

India put up a below par score. Top players like Rohit Sharma, Kohli, K.L.Rahul did not perform well.
So this result was expected in a way.
Hoping for better results in the other matches.

Worse than this loss was the Indian Team's loss in the knockout stage vs England.
It was a 10 wicket loss and even more disappointing.

Yeah- a big shocking defeat vs England. The bowlers could not take even a single wicket.
We missed Jasprit Bumrah and R.Jadeja a lot.
