T20 World Cup 2021: Team India's schedule after T20 WC
With New Zealand's victory against Afghanistan in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021, Team India's campaign officially came to an end.
The Men in Blue had slim chances of qualifying for the T20 World Cup 2021 semifinals, but fans were hopeful after India's big wins against Afghanistan and Scotland.
Unfortunately, the defeats against Pakistan and New Zealand hurt India eventually as they will now finish outside the top two of the Group 2 points table.
