Team India was already facing huge criticism over their one-sided loss to England while Guinness World Records’ tweet piled on T20 World Cup heartbreak. The Men in Blue faced a humiliating 10-wicket loss in the 2nd semifinal at the Adelaide Oval.
Right when the English fans were celebrating their entry into the World Cup final, Guinness World Records came up with a hilarious tweet.

The most humiliating fact about India’s defeat was that they were not able to even break the opening partnership on a wicket where all the Indian batters failed to score freely apart from Hardik Pandya who played a crucial knock of 63 runs off just 33 deliveries including five sixes. Hardik got some support from Virat Kohli who scored a steady fifty too as the duo took India to a respectable total of 168 runs.
The Indian team was expecting a tight start from the new-ball bowlers but Bhuvneshwar Kumar looked wayward and Arshdeep Singh got just a single over in the powerplay. This allowed the opening pair of Alex Hales and Jos Buttler to get a swift start as they took England to 63-0 in the first six overs.
The English openers kept on scoring runs in the middle overs as well and the Indian Team clearly missed a wicket-taking spinner as both Axar and Ashwin looked quite defensive. Eventually, the English team chased down India’s total in just 16 overs pushing India towards a heartbreaking loss as their wait to conquer an ICC tournament gets longer England will now play Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday, November 13.
