But, unfortunately, the men in blue were crashed out of the tournament, leaving billions of hearts broken.
However, there was a shocking incident reported while team India lost its match against the Blackaps. A cycle shop owner from Kolkata collapsed in his shop immediately after MS Dhoni was declared run out on Wednesday during India vs New Zealand clash.
