Chill, guys. There’s no reason2disparage the #BoysInBlue. They had a great run in #CWC19, topped the table, lost only one match in the group stage. They’re still the best team in world cricket. Let’s praise them for their overall performance. Everyone has a bad day; this was it. — Shashi Tharoor (@ShashiTharoor) July 10, 2019
