Share:India hammered Namibia by nine wickets to give Virat Kohli a winning farewell in his last match as Twenty20 captain and finish their disappointing World Cup campaign on a high Monday. India, the 2007 champions, finished the tournament with three wins from five Super 12 matches but missed out on the semi-finals. Namibia signed off with a single win in their first appearance in the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup. Rohit, who remains the frontrunner to take over the T20 duties from Kohli, hit his second half-century of the competition. In the final Super 12 match, the Indian bowlers took control after pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah sent back Michael van Lingen for 14 to end a 33-run opening stand.
