Manchester: The disappointment of not making the final was palpable on skipper Virat Kohli's face after the loss to New Zealand. He was not happy with the way things panned out in yesterday's semi-final, but the Indian captain was mighty proud with the way his team played in the tournament.
"Look, you obviously feel bad for the result and everyone goes out there to win the game for the team and if it doesn't happen, you feel like you could have done things differently or look at things in hindsight. But yeah, that is why these games are called knockouts because if the opposition plays better, you are out of the tournament. So we have to accept that.
