Reasons for India's early exit (in descending order) -
1. Toss
2. Conditions
3. Poor Intent
4. Bad play under pressure
Selections - which everyone is saying is the main reason - is not even 10%. That would have come into play only if we had lost games marginally.
#T20WorldCup21 The very same XI will win vs England if they had won tosses/if the conditions didn't change drastically mid-game/in a bilateral series.
