This includes the inability to play the short balls, that hit them on the face, as the team slumps to two defeats in a row. They were taunted all across for the failures.

He lives up to the expectations by shining on the field, hitting sixes, and the other players too start perfoming well. Their comeback sparks celebrations across the nation, as they set out on the streets, celebrate by waving the Indian flag and more.
