Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli on Sunday evening after getting defeated by New Zealand at World T20I contest said that his men ‘were not brave enough to win’.
After being thrashed out by Pakistan by ten wickets in their World T20I opener, India were stunned again on Sunday as New Zealand defeated them by comprehensive margin of eight wickets.
“I don’t think we were brave enough with bat or ball,” said Kohli whose team will face Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia in their remaining games.
Only the top two make the semi-finals.
“We didn’t have much to defend but we weren’t brave when we walked out to field. When you play for the Indian cricket team you have a lot of expectations — not just from fans, but players as well,” he added.
“So there’s always going to be more pressure with our games and we’ve embraced it over the years.”
Williamson hailed his team as they collected their first win.
“A fantastic all-round performance from us against a formidable India side,” he said.
“We were able to build pressure throughout and the way the openers came out really set the platform.”
