PM Modi praises Team India's fighting spirit- Political leaders react to India's World Cup exit
This is how the Indian political leaders reacted to India's World Cup exit against New Zealand on Wednesday.
New Zealand defeated India during the semifinal matchup between the two nation at Old Trafford in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.
Batting first, New Zealand secured 239/8 after their 50 overs on Wednesday; the IND-NZ clash on Tuesday was a washout due to bad weather in Manchester.
On the chase, India got off to a horrible start, losing KL Rahul (1), Rohit Sharma (1) and Virat Kohli (1) early on as New Zealand pacers made life difficult for the Men In Blue.
The Kiwi bowling attack turned the game around, taking three wickets in the opening 19 balls. From a dire position of 24-4, however, India got themselves back in the game thanks to a superb 116-run seventh-wicket partnership between MS Dhoni (50) and Ravindra Jadeja (77).
India's World Cup run came to an abrupt end and this is how the nation's political leaders reacted to the result on Twitter:
