What happened in the dressing room after the defeat to South Africa?
New Delhi. India created history by winning the T20 World Cup, but there was a time in the tournament when the fans were holding their breath whether the team would be able to make it to the semi-finals or not. This fear was felt after the defeat in the Super-8 match against South Africa. India had to face a huge defeat by 76 runs against South Africa in its very first Super-8, due to which its net run rate became very bad and questions were also raised about the team’s place in the top-4. After winning the trophy, Suryakumar has told how India bounced back after this defeat. Surya said that a 10-minute video helped boost the confidence of Indian players.
