It's all about Team Spirit

T-20 is certainly unpredictable but no one can remove the equation of team spirit in the cricket game. Most experts and bookies expected India to reach at least the semi – finals of the T-20 world cup tournament but that didn’t happen. It was certainly not fatigue and the absence of key players like Shewag and Sachin, but due to the fact that the team was unable to gel together as a unit. When Jadeja was struggling to get India through, did we ever see Yuvraj encourage the amateur? His facial expressions displayed nervousness and the lack of encouragement from the senior players did not help him either. On the other hand, the Pakistan team, which was written off from the series as a failure, has now reached the finals of the world cup. Most experts rated them as pathetic performers before and during the commencement of the tournament. But they performed commendably to squash the hopes of South Africa to win their first ever world cup tournament.
