Recalling the wild scenes in Mumbai when the Men in Blue returned home after winning the T20 World Cup 2024, Kapil Dev said that there were high expectations from the team, but they failed to deliver, leaving fans and cricket experts angry at the players. He also warned the fans against over-praising the Indian players, as it could backfire when they face tough times.
He signed off by saying, “The team has not done well; it's justified that the fans are angry. When these players came back after winning the T20 World Cup, the crazy scenes I had never seen in my life. So, when they do badly, criticism follows.
