Ashwin highlighted how the Indian supporters must be highly disappointed over the team’s unsuccessful attempt at bringing home the coveted ICC trophy. While he mentioned that there is no excuse that would make fans feel any better, the Tamil Nadu-born cricketer emphasized the need to move on after the setback.
Speaking on his YouTube channel on Wednesday, November 16, he explained:
The 36-year-old pointed out that it was also important to recognize the efforts of the Indian team since they managed to make it to the semi-finals. He added that the players were also extremely disappointed after crashing out of the top four stages. Ashwin added:
Rohit Sharma and Co. performed admirably in the group stage of the showpiece T20 event, topping Group 2. However, they suffered an embarrassing 10-wicket loss to England in the second semi-final.

Jos Buttler and Co. trumped Pakistan in the T20 World Cup final by five wickets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) to lift the coveted trophy.
Ashwin noted how England have successfully staged a turnaround in white-ball cricket following their 2015 ODI World Cup debacle, where they were eliminated in the group stage. He suggested that with their recent performances, they have shown other teams how to play the shorter formats.
Congratulating England on their T20 World Cup win, Ashwin said:
England have become the first team to hold both World Cups in white-ball cricket at the same time. It is worth mentioning that under Eoin Morgan’s captaincy, the side clinched the 50-over World Cup in 2019.
