Speaking to India Today on the Battle of Champions show, Harbhajan Singh highlighted how England played like champions, unlike their opposition. He also questioned Yuzvendra Chahal's exclusion from the squad, stating that he should have been India's first-choice spinner. Harbhajan Singh said: "It is hurting more because we did not fight at all. India batted like ODI in the first 10-12 overs like they still had 40 more overs to play. India should learn this format from England. They played like champions. It is very disappointing to see India's approach throughout the tournament where they did not look like they would score more than 35 runs. "I don't know what are the reasons that a champion bowler (Yuzvendra Chahal) is not in the team. He must have done something to someone that he is not getting a game. With his credentials, he should have been your first-choice spinner." Team India's bowling unit looked incisive throughout the tournament, doing well against the likes of Pakistan, Bangladesh, and . Nevertheless, they struggled against Hales and Buttler. The spinners - Axar Patel and - went wicketless for 57 in six overs.

(Image Credits: Getty) Skipper Rohit Sharma observed that India's bowling performance in the semi-final was disappointing as they failed to protect the square boundaries at the venue without keeping it tight. He said, as quoted by ESPN Cricinfo: "I thought we still batted pretty well at the back end to get to that score but we weren't good enough with the ball. It was definitely not a wicket where a team could come and chase down in 16-17 overs. But yeah, these things happen. Like I said, with the ball, we just didn't turn up today." Sharma continued: "We wanted to keep it tight, not give room, we looked at Adelaide pretty well, we know where the runs are scored. Square of the wicket is what we were quite aware of, and that's where all the runs went today. "Keeping it tight is something we spoke of but from there if the batsman plays a good shot we'll take it. But that is something that didn't happen today and that is a little disappointing."India v Pakistan would have been great but Pakistan will be extremely wary of England. They look scary now as a T20 side. Well done England! India v Pakistan would have been great but Pakistan will be extremely wary of England. They look scary now as a T20 side. Well done England!
