T20 World Cup: India Was So Scared In 2022 Semis That They Forgot To Play Freely, Says Finch
T20 World Cup: Though India go into the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup as the defending champions, their turnaround in form in the shortest format came after they suffered a ten-wicket thrashing to England in the 2022 semifinal in Adelaide.
Australia's World Cup-winning captain, Aaron Finch, recalled that India’s mental state was led by fear of losing and that ultimately cost them the match. "India was so scared of losing that semifinal that they did not allow themselves to play freely. You are disappointed when you are knocked out.
“But after the dust settles, you plan backwards. You put things in place, set small markers, and agree on where you should be at each stage. Then you just keep ticking those off as you go," Finch said in the second episode of the ‘Rise of Champions’ series on JioHotstar.
