"Harmanpreet Kaur's Run Out Was Turning Point": India Greats React To Semis Loss

India's wait for a world title continued as they succumbed to a heartbreaking five-run loss to Australia in the semifinal of the ongoing ICC Women's T20 World Cup on Thursday, where nerves of the defending champions prevailed over top knocks from skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues. Following Team India's five-run loss to Australia in the semi-final of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, former India cricketer VVS Laxman called Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur's run out a 'Turning point' of the game.

"Tough luck Team India. #HarmanpreetKaur & #JemimahRodrigues looked like taking the game away but the Aussies fought back brilliantly & in the end India have fallen short. Harmanpreet's runout was the turning point & India will be disappointed to miss out on the finals. #INDWvAUSW," tweeted former India cricketer VVS Laxman.
