Manjrekar, who drew flak for calling Jadeja a "bits and pieces cricketer", admitted that the all-rounder proved him completely wrong.

Indian captain Virat Kohli had also defended Pant after the match and believed that the 21-year-old will learn from his mistake.

Heartbroken but composed, Kohli looked back at the mistakes he had made as a youngster to analyse the moment of indiscretion.

England finished at the third position in the tournaments standing with 12 points. While, Australia with 14 points came at the number 2.

Four years ago, New Zealand were hammered by Australia by seven wickets in the final, overawed by the occasion.

Sachin Tendulkar said he is heartbroken like every Indian supporter but praised the good fight put up by Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni.

Defending champions Australia are looking to enter their second straight finals, while England are looking to reach finals for the 1st time.

Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik were sent ahead of Dhoni after India were reduced to five for three and then 24 for four.
