Twitter reacts as India fall agonisingly short of a place in the World Cup final
Tragedy struck a billion hearts as India fell agonisingly short of a place in the final of the World Cup 2019. Losing to a spirited New Zealand side by a margin of 18 runs in the semi-final, the Men in Blue were forced to end their dream run in this year’s showpiece event.
Tragedy struck a billion hearts as India fell agonisingly short of a place in the final of the World Cup 2019. Losing to a spirited New Zealand side by a margin of 18 runs in the semi-final, the Men in Blue were forced to end their dream run in this year's showpiece event.
While the game looked out of control at the end of the 30th over, MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja scripted a brilliant partnership to bring India back into the game miraculously. The duo essayed resilient knocks and looked set to steer India towards the final. However, the case was not to be as the loss of Jadeja and Dhoni at crucial junctures struck fatal blows to India's chances. On the other hand, Kane Williamson and co succeeded in holding their nerve under pressure and came out trumps to make it to their second consecutive World Cup final.
While the game might have been lost, the fans have been pouring in wishes to the Indian team for their valiant effort. Hailing Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni for their gritty game, the Twitterati stood in support of its favourite team.
India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi too took to Twitter to express his views over the game. "A disappointing result, but good to see #TeamIndia's fighting spirit till the very end. India batted, bowled, fielded well throughout the tournament, of which we are very proud. Wins and losses are a part of life. Best wishes to the team for their future endeavours," the Prime Minister wrote after India lost the game.
A disappointing result, but good to see #TeamIndia's fighting spirit till the very end.

Here's how others reacted to the result of the first semi-final:
Congratulations to @BLACKCAPS on making it to the finals. Jadeja played an outstanding innings and got India in the game along with MS Dhoni, yet it was a case of so near yet so far #IndvNZ

India no less a champion side in my eyes. Won 7 lost 2. Last one narrowly. Well done India! 👏👏👏#ICCCWC2019

It is convention to give the player of the match award to someone from the winning side. Matt Henry was fantastic today but the performance of the match came from Ravindra Jadeja. He is my player of the match.

A run out by a direct hit. One superb catch. Economical ten overs. And the best knock of his ODI career. It's not fair to end up on the losing side...well played, Jadeja. #CWC19 #IndvNZ

India did not bat well enough to reach the final. A resilient effort by Jadeja & Dhoni. They almost brought India back into the game.

So a big upset, New Zealand goes through to final, India knocked out. #INDvsNZ #CWC19 #semifinal
We lose sometimes & it hurts too, this just shows how precious victory is. But more precious is our ability to dust off the defeat, fix the reasons behind the defeat & bounce back to fight again. That's wht makes us real champions

Heartbreaking to see India lose today but #Dhoni you beauty, you proved today why you're my favourite... he gives every match his all and he really tried hard to pull through for us...Much love and respect to our former skipper ❤️
