Former Indian captain Virat Kohli expressed his disappointment after failing to reach the final of the T20 World Cup but emphasized that the tournament gave the team some memorable moments.

Sharing the message on Twitter, he wrote:

"We leave Australian shores short of achieving our dream and with disappointment in our hearts but we can take back a lot of memorable moments as a group and aim to get better from here on."

Kohli also extended gratitude to the fans who flocked to the stadiums to support the team and said that it was always an honor to wear the Indian jersey and represent the country.
