India despite being knocked out of semi-final race will play their final match of this 2021 T20 WC against Namibia before leaving this tournament with heavy hearts. Virat Kohli will be playing his last game as captain in T20Is, thus he will like to end his captaincy reign on a very high note before leaving the big stage. After 2 disappointing losses initially, India bounced back with two stunning victories against Afghanistan and Scotland and improved their NRR very much but still would get eliminated because of not being able to topple Pakistan and New Zealand points wise.
