The richest board, the most talented bunch of players, the best support services&#8230; and yet another failure at the knockout stage for <\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/india-pakistan-asia-cup-2018-cricket\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the fifth in as many years across ICC tournaments. You begin to wonder whether there is a pattern to these results. It is perhaps not the easiest thing to decipher, especially since the defeats have come in different formats \u2013 ODI and T20. Nor did India field the same team in every match; the captain changed too, for the last two defeats.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But four players have featured in each of the losses \u2013 Mahendra Singh Dhoni, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/virat-kohli-birthday-thirty-cricket-india-records\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virat Kohli<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja. For the quartet, some may call it the bedrock of India\u2019s white-ball cricket, Wednesday was the second straight loss in a World Cup semi-final.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to these big names, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was also part of the team that lost the 2014 World T20 final to Sri Lanka. Two years later, in the WT20 semi versus the West Indies, the aforementioned quartet was joined by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/jasprit-bumrah-fast-bowler-world-cup-finisher\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jasprit Bumrah<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Hardik Pandya who had become an integral part of the side by then. Bhuvneshwar joined them and the rest for the 2017 Champions Trophy final that India lost against Pakistan.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the Men in Blue often win at cricket, irrespective of the format, the failure to win knockout games must sting. Particularly so because the team is proud of its habit of winning. However, the \u201c45 minutes of bad cricket\u201d that Kohli identified as the reason for the defeat to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/india-vs-new-zealand-the-forever-underdogs-world-cup\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Zealand<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was not merely an aberration.<\/span>\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-52128\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1562825523.jpg\" alt=\"india_semi_final_world_cup\" width=\"594\" height=\"397\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>Even on Wednesday, it was baffling to see Dhoni bat as low as number seven when the team had lost its most accomplished batsmen early.<\/p>\n<p>OLI SCARFF\/AFP\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, it was another phase of batting failure that has had some part to play in at least four of the five recent knockout losses. Against Australia (2015 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/dhoni-world-cup-2019-tendulkar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">World Cup<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) and Pakistan, India lost a clutch of top order wickets in a short time \u2013 30 for 3 in the case of the former, 3-33 in the latter \u2013 while the 2014 World T20 final was marked by remarkably low scoring in the death overs against Sri Lanka. On Wednesday, India was three down for five in the fourth over.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, there were extenuating circumstances in each of those matches. Both<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/virat-kohli-india-australia-cricket-tour-test-adelaide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Australia <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and Pakistan set huge targets for the much-vaunted Indian batting, thereby causing a mini collapse in the face of a daunting required rate. In the 2016 WT20 semi, Lendl Simmons played a blinder while Lasith Malinga and the Kiwi pacemen produced a wonderful exhibition of fast bowling under differing conditions in other matches.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This may be seen as an excuse but opponents seem to unexpectedly raise their game for knockout matches against India. And they are not always the usual suspects. Just sample the displays of Simmons, Fakhar Zaman, and Matt Henry. They were probably not players who would have been identified as a major threat by the Indian side, but their contribution exceeded their reputation.<\/span>\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">Irrespective of who hurts India, though, the extended streak of failures in crunch games has a power of its own to leave longer scars.<\/blockquote>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irrespective of who hurts India, though, the extended streak of failures in crunch games has a power of its own to leave longer scars. Teams can come to be defined by such defeats. Just ask New Zealand. They lost six semi-finals in a row before finally cracking the code at the last World Cup. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/india-south-africa-world-cup-england-bumrah-rabada-kohli\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Africa<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is another example, a side that seems to be paralysed by its past losses whenever a major tournament comes calling. So much so that they are branded the chokers.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sportspersons often talk about treating a knockout match like any other game but it remains a serious challenge nevertheless. As the calmer ones say, you must pretend like nothing special is happening even when it is. Perhaps, self-deception is the answer.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is, of course, a fool\u2019s endeavour to dissect what goes on in the mind of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/indian-cricket-gender-problem-mixed-games\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indian players<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It is not as if nerves have gotten the better of them. Rather, worryingly, the gap between performances has been too wide to bridge, sometimes owing to skill. In a tight game like the semi-final on Wednesday, it was the attacking mindset and bowling plans of the Kiwis that made the difference. Steve Smith&#8217;s careful manoeuvring of the field in the 2015 World Cup semifinal is another instance that comes to mind. The Indians came up significantly short on each occasion.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The trouble for India is that, before Wednesday, only once had it come close to winning in the knockout matches discussed here \u2013 the World T20 semi in 2016. As the team moves on from the latest disappointment, it might be worth pondering why the big-match occasion has turned out to be an overwhelming prospect for serial <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/runner-up-second-best-winners-ladybird\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">winners.<\/span><\/a>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a few members of this squad unlikely to feature in the team\u2019s plans for the next major tournament, the World T20 in Australia at the end of 2020, it is important that those who stay behind address the multiple failures in ICC tournaments that threaten to spoil the legacy of an exceptionally talented bunch of cricketers. Although one is unlikely to regard Kohli, Rohit, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/koffee-with-karan-hardik-pandya-isnt-a-brat-he-is-an-outright-misogynist\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardik<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Bumrah, or Bhuvneshwar as \u201cbottlers\u201d, some of the strange tactical choices over the past month give a cause for worry. For instance, the fiddling with the middle order barely instilled any confidence in the team\u2019s batting resources. India trusted Kedar Jadhav for the majority of two years before giving his place to Dinesh Karthik for the fag end of this World Cup campaign. Even on Wednesday, it was baffling to see Dhoni bat as low as number seven when the team had lost its most accomplished batsmen early. The incongruity of Hardik Pandya batting ahead of the former skipper was hard to reconcile.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps, one success will pave the way for multiple breakthroughs in the coming years. To convince itself, India does not need to look further than its most recent opponent \u2013 the Kiwis. On Sunday, they return to the stage that they reached for the first time four years ago. The World Cup final.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for India, it\u2019ll be another four years before the World Cup comes home. The next edition will be played in the country and, for some of the players who lost on Wednesday, it would be a chance at redemption. They will\u00a0 hope that a home World Cup will bring the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/india-vs-pakistan-champions-trophy-dhinchak-pooja-dials-aunty-gormint\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">trophy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a third time.
