A goalless draw against Australia wasn’t just a result… it was a heartbreak wrapped in fairness. They needed a win. Australia? Just had to avoid losing. And they did. One referral saved India early; a lucky break, maybe, but not enough to change fate. A missed penalty corner, a shot that missed the ball entirely, a defense that stood like stone; it all added up to one thing: semifinal dreams, shattered. Their journey? Unbeaten in group stages, crushing South Africa 6-1, only to fall short when it mattered most. No shame here; just a reminder that sometimes, in sport, the math doesn’t care how hard you play. You needed goals. You got zeroes. And that’s why, today, Australia moves on; and India’s World Cup ends, not with a bang… but with silence.
