#T20WorldCup @Indianmourinho reflects on @BCCI 's campaign so far:
Q: What has resulted in India's campaign turning out the way it has so far? Is it the uncontrollables - toss & decks getting better to bat in the second innings?

@IndianMourinho only completely shift the blame to that if you got the controllables right. India didn't do that.
India vs spin in WC 2021:
16-0-76-3 - that's not even 5 RPO. And India are a subcontinental team. Even if they are set back by pace, they should be able to reconstruct innings

@IndianMourinho at 7-7.5 against spin. At 7.5, that would be a difference of 44 extra runs the bowlers could have had.
There was plenty of evidence that this batting unit was going to struggle against spin even ahead of the start of the tournament.
This comment sums it up all. Look at the

@IndianMourinho conclusion that was arrived at after looking at the numbers of 3 of India's biggest batters:
At least in the first game, two of them were opening - one way to minimize the potential damage. In the second, Rohit and Kohli were positioned at 3 & 4 -

@IndianMourinho - two positions that demand your most skillful players/hitters of spin.
Instead of splitting them with left-handers and/or better players of spin, India lined them up like lambs to slaughter.... and well, got slaughtered.

@IndianMourinho On Ishan Kishan opening:
This is the first thing that hits you when you try to fit Ishan Kishan in this setup at Dubai against an attack that is set up the way Kiwis are:
Except, however, for India it didn't. They fed him to pace, lost him, and

On Bhuvneshwar Kumar:
If you back out from something you were very confident of after one result that doesn't go your way, you are either admitting you have got it wrong all along or just gone into a panic mode and reacting as a result.
Be it fitness wise or on numbers, there

was, again, enough evidence that this move was going to cost him.
India continued to be in denial about it. It finally hit them after looking at the warm-up performances and the opener vs Pakistan.
