With a poor run rate of (-)2.35 even if we win next three games we have to depend on others to qualify for semis. This was bound to happen with 4 non performers Shikhar, Raina,Yuvi and Jadeja. If selectors showed some courage to pick players like Manish Pandey we could have save our face. Indian fans like me should be ready for another heart-break
Honestly the future looks quite gloomy for India in T-20 world Cup.
We have to win all our remaining matches to qualify, and what's more worst is, even then we are not assured to get qualify because it will come down to Net Run Rate.
And thanks to our huge 47 runs defeat against Kiwis, our NRR is critically affected.
We will have to depend on others NRR to get qualify, that said, even if we win our remaining matches in qualifying rounds.

Rightly said. Wish Cricket illiterates like Shilpa/Suniletc. understood this!!
You can't win every match but there was no fight or application of mind except for Dhoni himself. If it was such a spinning track, then why didn't our famed spinners take out NZ for 80 runs ? They were smashed , instead.

To be more precise, only Ashwin was thrashed...its quite strange that he is touted as frontline spinner but goes for maximum on his off day
Dhobi has been offering Readymade excuses - I guess he prepares his speech in advance before every Post Match Conference on how he should react if Indian team Wins or loses.
That is why he is getting paid for - To give Lame Excuses and Beg Pardon for the mistakes every time Indian team loses.
Losing is nothing New for Indian team - But Dhobi has to prepare One Heck of an Excuse if India Lose to Pakistan in Kolkata - Then he will have to face heavy criticism if India falter, any further losses we are Out in the early stages itself.
The way how the match between NZ Vs IND played was like a qualifying matches of the teams like Oman, Hong Kong ,Afghanistan etc. let team India wait for a miracle to happen otherwise there is a great possibility of their exiit from the tournament . Shikhar Dhawan should voluntarily give his place to someone else . His early silly outs are demoralizing factor to rest of the batsmen. Yuvi should also concentrate more while batting and if possible be allowed to bat at 11. Anyway , players of team want their homes to be fortified against stoning or not, let them decide and play accordingly. Best wishes to you guys.

126 was not at all a big score even on a spinning wicket but lack of planning & adaptability to a turning pitch cost us the match .
ITS MORE OF OUR POOR BATTING RATHER THAN GOOD BOWLING BY NZ COST US THE GAME . ARE THESE NATHAN MC-CULLUM , SODHI , SANTNER WORLD CLASS SPINNERS ?? NO - - They are ordinary bowlers , still we gave them silly wickets .
But , NO PROBLEM . Team India is well known for bouncing back strongly & will surely take a lesson from this defeat & will comeback strongly .
See , even when entire team gets out at 78 , MSD'S individual contribution is 30 & a stumping at lightening speed . And of course 24 by Kohli .
