The WTC Final loss vs Australia is the latest chapter in what is turning out to be a long run of heartbreaks for Team India in ICC event knockout matches.
The last time India won an ICC tournament was in 2013, when they won the Champions Trophy title under MS Dhoni’s captaincy. Incredibly, since then India have played 8 knockout matches (semi-finals and finals) in ICC events and lost all 8.
The trend clearly suggests that while India have played good cricket and have pipped other mega teams to reach pre-summit and summit clashes, they are not managing to seal the deal and are falling either at the semis or in the final.
Since the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, India have featured in 4 semi-finals and 4 finals of ICC events and lost all.

Here’s a look at all the 8 matches that India have lost in ICC event knockout games, since the 2013 Champions Trophy:
