In the 2016 T20 World Cup semi-final, India were defeated by West Indies. They then suffered a loss against arch-rivals Pakistan in the final of Champions Trophy in 2017.

Watch: Batter's Unique Scoop Shot From Behind The Stumps Leaves Netizens Shocked

Cricket is becoming more fascinating with every passing day. Earlier, there was a time when teams used to easily defend a target like 150 in 20 overs but now, 200 runs are also being easily chased.
