MS Dhoni

India’s World T20 2016 campaign at home came to a heartbreaking halt when they were defeated by the West Indies in the second semi-final at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. India made 192/2 batting first on a placid wicket thanks to yet another brilliant knock by Virat Kohli, who scored 89*.

But West Indies chased down the total despite losing Chris Gayle for just 5 runs, thanks to 82* from Lendl Simmons and a fifty from Johnson Charles. Andre Russell provided the fireworks at the end, including the match winning six in the last over.

But something is different this time with the fans and the Indian media, who have shown unbiased support to the Indian cricket team instead of shouting slogans and burning effigies. They had supported captain MS Dhoni throughout the tournament and have supported him even after the team lost.

But the biggest wave of support and compassion has come for the man who single-handedly took India into the semi-finals, Virat Kohli. Kohli played brilliant innings against Pakistan, Australia, and even West Indies to guide India to victories and to a defendable total in the semis. He even took a wicket off the first ball he bowled in the World T20 against West Indies and almost clinched the win bowling the all important last over.

Indian fans were present in considerable numbers at the Mumbai Airport to see off the Indian team members who were leaving for their respective homes. They shouted the names of Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni and gave mega cheers to the team shouting slogans in support of the team. Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni acknowledged the crowd and waved towards them before leaving to board the flight.
