'Disappointment in our hearts': Virat Kohli looks back at India's journey in T20 World Cup

Virat Kohli had a dream run with the bat at the T20 World Cup in Australia. The former India skipper ended his campaign as the leading run-getter in the tournament with 296 runs from 6 innings. Kohli has also won two 'player of the match' awards and scored four fifty-plus scores. Despite the fantastic performance from 'King Kohli', Team India crashed out at the semi-final stage after England handed them 10 wickets trashing on November 10th. Following the loss, Kohli not only expressed his disappointment but also sent a special message to the Indian fans down under.

After the heartbreaking loss, Virat Kohli posted a message on Twitter saying, "We leave Australian shores short of achieving our dream and with disappointment in our hearts but we can take back a lot of memorable moments as a group and aim to get better from here on.

The former skipper also thanked the Indian supporters for turning out in huge numbers during matches. He added, "Thank you to all our fans who turned up in huge numbers throughout to support us in the stadiums. Always feel proud to wear this jersey and represent our country".
