The intent was missing from India's first ball in the semifinal match. It's easier said than done, but the Indian team should not stress about winning critical matches like these; instead, they should enjoy the game and exhibit aggression; if they only think about winning, the pressure will eventually get to them.

In a vital match like this, India should have fired on all cylinders in the powerplay. Both of India's openers are out of form, and in a game like one, they should score an odd 50 in the fewest number of balls.

Instead of playing the same openers in the Semifinal Match, India should have chosen Rishabh Pant, Surya Kumar Yadav, or Hardik Pandya as an opener. If this player had scored an odd 20 runs in the fewest number of balls, the game would have been entirely different.

When will India recognize that it cannot win matches solely by batting? Especially on away grounds, India requires fast and lethal bowlers. In the absence of Bumrah, they should have selected Mohammed Siraj and Umran Malik as pacers.

Having two spinners in the match was overkill. There are no surprises for spinners in T20 and on away grounds, as well as all the international players competing in IPL and facing Indian bowlers.

Many players are past their peak or need to prove themselves by competing in domestic circuits. Players like Bhuvnesh Kumar, Mohammed Shami, KL Rahul, and Ashwin Ravichandran have reached the end of their careers. They should not have been in the T20 World Cup. Young players such as Shubman Gill, Sarfaraz Ahmed, and Sanju Samson should have been invited.

Toss was a huge factor. If India had batted second, their prospects of victory were very good. Even batting second would have been difficult if a few wickets had fallen early in the chase, but with so many powerful hitters on the side, the Indian team would have triumphed.

Credit should be given where credit is due; England's players, particularly the batsmen, were outstanding; both Butler and Hales were calm and composed, and they did not take many risks in order to succeed. They took advantage of the Adelaide oval pitch.

Indian bowlers and openers struggled under pressure. Despite having a good deal of experience playing in these extremely difficult occasions, Team India as a whole was unable to handle pressure as well as the English players did. Captain Rohit accepted it by himself.

With the exception of Hardik Pandya and maybe Kohli, our batsmen's strike rate were terrible. Rahul's strike rate is 100, and Rohit's strike rate is 96, compared to Hales' strike rate of 182 and Butler's strike rate of 163.
