Twitter reactions on MS Dhoni’s run out as India agonisingly lost the first semi-final of the 2019 Cricket World Cup vs New Zealand

It’s done and dusted. Team India lost the semi-final of the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup at The Old Trafford by 18 runs versus New Zealand to crash out of tournament.
It seemed to be curtains for India quite early on in their 240 run chase, as they lost their Top 3 in-form batsmen- Rohit Sharma (1 off 4), KL Rahul (1 off 7), and skipper Virat Kolhi (1 off 6) within the first four overs of the second innings.

But, the all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja (77 off 59) and MS Dhoni (50 off 72) pulled back things dramatically in India’s favour as the duo stitched together a 116-run partnership for the seventh wicket. But, Jadeja got out at a critical moment, when India needed another 32 runs off 13 balls.
But still, with Dhoni on the pitch, the match was going to be all but over. And with 31 required in 12 balls, he even hit a maximum off Lockie Ferguson in the first delivery of the 49th over, to bring down the equation to 25 off 11 deliveries. But an amazing bull’s eye hit from Martin Guptill from the fine-leg region the next ball broke billions of Indian hearts, which ultimately proved to be the last nail in the Indian coffin.

A total India should have chased but this is good fight back after being 24/4 in 10 overs. An exceptional knock from Jadeja. Dhoni run out for first time in three years. They can be proud of their effort but plenty to learn.

MS Dhoni started his career with a run out and he has ended it with a run out too. One of the greatest cricketers ever. Thank you, Mahi. #INDvNZ

What an innings by Dhoni…at this age this late in his career…the man gave it his best & was clearly trying to finish this game for his country. But Guptill after being so irrelevant in this tournament gets that critical run out. What a game. #NZLvIND #ICCCWC2019

Martin Guptill makes up for all the runs not scored in the World Cup. Possibly the best run out I’ve ever seen, given the context. Dhoni goes for 50. In his final ODI innings? #CWC19 #INDvNZ

One of the fastest runners between the wickets MS Dhoni ended his World Cup career in the same manner he started his international career in 2004 – with a RUN-OUT!#INDvNZ #NZvIND #CWC19
