3 teams whose defeat to Team India makes us sad

The Indian team has just won their third Champions Trophy and seventh ICC title, and it is another moment of joy for all the Indian fans. This was another great tournament where the Men in Blue went undefeated and won their second global title in two years, making the fans proud once again.

However, though the fans enjoy every time the Indian team emerges victorious, there are still some teams that are loved a lot by the fans, and even the biggest Indian fans shed a tear even when they lose the game against the Indian team. It is time to discuss the teams who have won the people’s hearts so much that even a defeat to the Indian team makes them feel bad for the team.

Here are the three teams whose defeat to India in international cricket makes the fans upset:

3. New Zealand

This might be the team that the Indian side defeated in the tournament to become the most successful team in the Champions Trophy at the Dubai International Stadium, but we cannot ignore the skill and ability the Kiwis have. New Zealand has been one of the most spirited sides with all the talent and athleticism but still does not manage to have the best of luck in ICC white-ball tournaments, which also makes the fans upset with them. The likes of Glenn Philips, Kane Williamson, and Mitchell Santner are some of the players who are capable of performing with both bat and ball and are athletic on the field.

The only thing that keeps New Zealand lower on the list is that they have had some successful tournaments and have won two ICC trophies, winning the inaugural Champions Trophy (then ICC Knockout Trophy) and World Test Championship and have had a great record against us in knockout matches.
