NEW DELHI: Former cricketers and cricket experts blamed India's 'conservative' and 'timid' batting approach in the powerplay for their exit from the ongoing T20 World Cup in Australia. India were on Thursday humbled by England in the second semi-final in Adelaide, losing the knock-out match by 10 wickets.
England sent India to bat first after winning the toss and restricted them to 168/6. English openers Alex Hales (86*) and Jos Buttler (80*) then chased down the target in just 16 overs to send the Indian side packing.
