NEW DELHI: India's performance in the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup was marked by both dominance and heartbreak. Entering the tournament as one of the favorites, the Indian team, led by Virat Kohli, displayed exceptional form in the group stages, winning seven out of nine matches, with one match against New Zealand being washed out due to rain. This consistency saw India finish at the top of the group stage.
However, their journey took a dramatic turn in the semi-final against New Zealand. Chasing a modest target of 240, India's top order crumbled, with Rohit Sharma, captain Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul all departing early.
