T20 World Cup 2021: Netizens set social media abuzz post India's consolation win over Namibia

On Monday, former champion India finished its ICC T20 World Cup 2021 with a nine-wicket win over minnow Namibia in its Group 2 Super 12 stage at the Dubai International Stadium. With India already being out of the race for the semis, it was nothing more than a consolation win for the side.

The match was the final game for Virat Kohli as the skipper in the format. He won the toss and had decided to bowl first, as everything went in India's favour, while it was a comfortable win for it in the end, as it signed off from the tournament in style. As India departs for its home country, it would prepare for the upcoming home series against New Zealand, starting November 17, while the Kiwis would be featuring in the semis.
