T20 WC: Shastri Calls India’s Loss A ‘timely Shake-up’ After South Africa Thrashing In Super 8s
T20 World Cup: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri believes India’s crushing 76-run defeat to South Africa in the Super Eights of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup could serve as a much-needed wake-up call rather than a fatal blow to their semi-final hopes.
India were dismantled at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where Marco Jansen’s stunning 4-22 spearheaded South Africa’s ruthless bowling performance. Chasing 188, India collapsed to 111 all out in 18.5 overs, marking their first loss in an ICC event since the 2023 ODI World Cup final at the same venue.
Reacting to the setback on The ICC Review, Shastri struck a measured tone, suggesting the defeat may have come at the right time in the tournament. “You win 12 matches on the trot, there's bound to be an off day. And I'm glad it has come early. It might just be the shakeup India needed,” Shastri said.
