Legends react as New Zealand edge past India in World Cup semi-finals

💔 just like every 🇮🇳 supporter.

A good fight put up by @imjadeja & @msdhoni but @BLACKCAPS were exceptional today.

Congrats to 🇳🇿 on making it to the Finals & all the best for the same.

I felt #KaneWilliamson’s captaincy & composure played a crucial role in this result.#NZvIND pic.twitter.com/3sUlW21cgN

Congratulations to @BLACKCAPS on making it to the finals. Jadeja played an outstanding innings and got India in the game along with MS Dhoni, yet it was a case of so near yet so far #IndvNZ

Full marks to #NewZealand for keeping up the pressure at all times and winning the #SemiFinal against #TeamIndia .

Don't have words to express the way I am feeling. Till the time @imjadeja & @msdhoni were at the crease it all seemed possible.😭#NZvsIND #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/P1HSeEJlLt

India can feel proud about their performance in this WC. We had our issues in the middle but I thought on most occasions someone raised their hands and stepped up. Extremely Happy with the how India went about playing. Congratulations to Virat and the boys #INDvsNZ

Top order batting and seam bowling Definite Positives to take, plenty of spin options ... for #TeamIndia sadly the one flaw in the armour had to be exposed in the most crucial knock out game #INDvsNZ #CWC19

— subramani badrinath (@s_badrinath) July 10, 2019

India didn’t have a good start which costed us the match. No one ever thought of 5/3. But that’s how sport is! Really well played to @imjadeja let's appreciate the entertaining campaign India put up for all of us to enjoy. Well played 👏#INDvNZ #CWC19

India did not bat well enough to reach the final. A resilient effort by Jadeja & Dhoni. They almost brought India back into the game.

So a big upset, New Zealand goes through to final, India knocked out. #INDvsNZ #CWC19 #semifinal

— Shoaib Akhtar (@shoaib100mph) July 10, 2019

Well played India

It was a close game but New Zealand held the nerves better

Amazing knock by Jadeja

The team tried their best and we're all shattered like them

But a campaign to be proud of

We are all with you #MenInBlue

Jadeja played the innings of his life , and what a day to do so. Dhoni and him got us in it from nowhere but alas wasn’t enough . Well fought India and congratulations to NZ on reaching the finals. #IndvNZ
