Zaheer Khan says “You just have faltered in the first couple of games” T20 World Cup 2021. He believes it is imperative for Indian players. It is to find the motivation to do well at this critical juncture of the competition. Despite successive defeats in the tournament. Khan was speaking on Cricbuzz’s post-match show. After India’s embarrassing eight-wicket defeat to New Zealand. He revealed that it becomes really difficult. When one has to rely on the results of other matches for a spot in the semi-final. While looking to do well in the remaining series.
Zaheer drew parallels with India’s 50-over World Cup campaign. Where team India was knocked out in the group stage. Then Kohli still has an outside chance of going forward into the tournament. But their qualification depends on a number of external factors. Khan mentioned that he was part of the Indian side. And went through a similar situation during the 2007 World Cup in the West Indies. After a shocking loss to Bangladesh in their opening clash.

“When you are in this kind of a scenario, I could only think of that example of 2007’s 50-over world cup in the West Indies. We lost that first game and after that, you know the whole sort of permutation combinations and just a miracle which you are hoping for which will get us through and control the thing which is in your hand which is to to go out there and put up your best show,” Zaheer Khan said.
“You know you are one of the better teams and you just have faltered in the first couple of games. But you have to somehow find that inspiration that motivation you’re still representing your country at the highest level,” Khan added.
Lastly, Virat Kohli-led side failed to make an impact yet again. In the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 as they lost again in a one-sided series. The Kiwi bowling attack overpowered the star-studded Indian batting order. Also, restricted them to a sub-par score of 110.
