An all-round show by the New Zealand team made sure team India's campaign at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup comes to an end. The Kiwis led by captain Kane Williamson beat the Men in Blue by 18 runs in the first semi-final at Old Trafford on Wednesday to march into their second consecutive final of the World Cup.
While India did put up a fight with a superb 116-run seventh-wicket partnership between MS Dhoni (50) and Ravindra Jadeja (77), but it was too little to take India over the line and towards glory. While billions of fans were left heartbroken as India bowed out of the 2019 Cricket World Cup, just like fans even Indian political leaders such as PM Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter to share their reactions on India's exit from World Cup.

We topped the league and fought the semi-final match down to the last over even after the horrendous start. In the end it wasn’t to be but the boys in blue have been brilliant & should come home with their heads held high.

Chill, guys. There's no reason2disparage the #BoysInBlue. They had a great run in #CWC19, topped the table, lost only one match in the group stage. They're still the best team in world cricket. Let's praise them for their overall performance. Everyone has a bad day; this was it.
