New Delhi, 26 February 2026: The Indian team had lost only one match in the 2026 T20 World Cup, but this defeat has hindered their path to reaching the semi-finals. After the Super 8 defeat against South Africa, former head coach Ravi Shastri made an important statement. Ravi Shastri believes that the defeat against South Africa is a warning bell for India, who will now have to rethink their team combination.
Former India head coach Ravi Shastri said in the ICC review, “If you win 12 matches in a row, bad days are bound to come, but I am glad that it came early. It was the wake-up call that India needed. This will now force the team to rethink their tactics and combinations. They must have learned from past experiences not to take things lightly. Losing the second match will put a lot of pressure.”

Ravi Shastri also gave advice to Team India. He said, “We have to bring Axar Patel back. You need his experience. I would say that both Axar Patel and Washington Sundar can play, because some days the bowler will not be in form, like Varun Chakraborty was on Sunday.”
