Netizens react as Matthew Cross motivates Scotland bowlers

One netizen got emotional when they heard Matthew Cross tell his Scotland bowlers that all of India was behind him, as that is the sad reality when it comes to the T20 World Cup 2021 campaign of the 'Men in Blue.' With India suffering two disappointing defeats to Pakistan and New Zealand in their opening two games, they need a bit of luck to go their way to have any chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. If any of the remaining teams were to defeat the Black Caps, then it will help India come back into the qualification picture.

Meanwhile, several fans found the exchange between Cross and Chris Geaves hilarious as they reacted with laughing emojis.

Another user wrote that several Indians may already be fans of Cross as they are all cheering for Scotland to defeat New Zealand in this crucial T20 World Cup match.
