Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar backed Men in Blue after their ten-wicket loss to England in the semifinal of the ICC T20 World Cup, saying that though the loss was very disappointing, the team should not be judged on basis of this defeat since its the number one side in the shortest format of the game.

Highlighting that the T20 top ranking is not an instant process he added that a side should play good cricket over a period of time for it and India made their mark in the same.
