Mumbai, Mar 27 (IBNS): As India crushed out of the World Cup after Australia defeated the current World Champions by 95 runs in the semi-final of the tournament on Thursday, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said it recognises the stupendous efforts of the team in their attempt to regain the World Cup.

"I congratulate the entire Indian cricket team for having played some outstanding cricket in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. They have indeed displayed some admirable skills while playing the game in its true spirit, and thereby, bringing joy to millions of cricket fans. In spite of the disappointment due to the loss in the semi-final, the fact that the impending generation has showed the desired potential to take Indian cricket to greater heights is quite gratifying,” Jagmohan Dalmiya, President, BCCI, said.

“Being present at the venue and having witnessed the match, I was privy to the excitement and joy that our Indian team brings to the spectators. I take this opportunity to thank all our fans across the world and especially those who were present for the semi-final and supported Team India. The BCCI truly appreciates the sustained efforts of our team and congratulates them for their outstanding performance while upholding the values which have long embodied the game of cricket,” Anurag Thakur, Secretary, BCCI, said.           

Australia defeated India to reach the final of the World Cup where they will meet co-hosts of the tournament New Zealand.
