So in the end India beat South Africa who had noting to lose, all that blood, seat and tears paid off. Despite India's win they have failed to qualify for the semis as they needed to win by a margin of 30 runs, an excellent performance by the South African batsmen and a brilliant one by the Indian batsmen, bowling once against failed India, they were looking good in the beginning but in the middle and end they got poor
Reasons Why India is out of World T20 2012
1 . Giving Preferance to Rohit Sharma over in-form Manoj Tiwary
Indian Captain MS Dhoni has not given a single chance to Manoj Tiwary even when Rohit failed so many times before world cup and during the world cup. He Gave Oppertunity to Harbhajan Singh and Piyush Chawla but didnt thought to rest Gautam Gambhir and give chance to Manoj Tiwary.
2. Failure to put up Big totals
Indian team suffered to put up a big score in the tournament even after having such a strong line up which always perform in IPL and is known to be T20 expert. The reason behind this failure is Sehwag and Gambhir. Not even single time they tried to stay at wicket for 5 overs.. they have capability to hit the bowlers all round the park and they were biggest asset for India in the tournament but they failed to give a good start and result is India is no more in race to win the trophy
3. Politics in team
Virender Sehwag and Mahinder Singh Dhoni ... Two Biggest Name of World Cricket...One has got Power to remove other and thats the reason India lost very imporatant game against Australia. Every Expert ( Like Sunil Gavasker , Wasim Akram and Sourav Ganguly ) Suggested to keep Sehwag alive in the team as he is one of those batsmen which can create fear in opposition and that could have helped India to score big. The News about Rift between Sehwag and Dhoni kept comming into news and that might have disturbed the whole environment of dressing room
4. Too much dependence on Virat Kohli
In last 12 Innings Virat Kohli has made 8 FIFTY plus scores and thats most by any batsmen in this short span. Whenever he came and score he made sure that India go through and win the match. This was Expected and he lived upto expectations. The only Match which India lost in the tournament was against Australia and in that match Virat failed to score big.. and guess what ..whole team failed that day too... Dont you think Indian batting line up is completely depending on Virat ? Why Rohit Sharma is in team even after failing to score ? MS Dhoni should answer this question
5. Why MS Dhoni dont promote himself over Rohit Sharma in batting order ?
No Doubt MS Dhoni is one of the finest batsmen Indian team have at the moment..He Knows Rohit is out of form then why dont he promote himself up the order? In yesterday`s match he came down the order
and scored quick runs which India needed in the middle overs when Rohit Sharma was wasting balls ..Rohit made 25 runs in 27 balls whereas MS Dhoni made 23 in just 13 balls.. almost equal runs but in half
the number of balls...dont you think the extra 30 runs which India needed could have been scored in those 14 extra balls ?
6. Too Slow Batting against Pakistan
Indian team Knew they are lagging in the NRR because of loss against Australia...but still they played slow and reached the target slowly with 8 wickets in hand which didnt matter much in the end...they could have finished the match before 2 or 3 overs but they failed.
