One of the most one-sided matches in a World Cup knock-out phase was branded a "humiliating loss" by many.

"I don't mind India losing: victory & defeat are part of sports. But I do mind India not showing up today," Congress politician Shashi Tharoor tweeted.

His sentiments were echoed by industrialist Anand Manhindra and millions of Indian cricket fans. “It’s not the losing that hurts, but the manner of losing… The shifting winds of sport can be cruel… Well, we’ll look at it as just another opportunity to Rise,” Mahindra tweeted.

Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh tweeted a broken heart emoticon while others on the platform suggested replacing current India coach Rahul Dravid.
