ICC T20 World Cup 2016: 5 reasons why India lost to West Indies in the semi-final

The Indian spinners struggled

Both Jadeja and Ashwin were unimpressive to say the least

India are heavily reliant on the spinners during the middle overs to choke the opposition. Ashwin had been held back and the faster bowlers had done a splendid job during the powerplay overs. It meant the spinners would play a deciding role after that.

As soon as the dew came in, the Indian spinners started to struggle not helping the team's cause. Ashwin who has been Dhoni's trump card only bowled two expensive overs. Also, the pitch did not seem to provide much assistance for the spinners though Samuel Badree did a great job with the ball.

With the dew coming in and the pitch not offering much spin, Jadeja started pushing through his deliveries like a medium pacer. But trying to fire it in wide did not work as he missed the mark too often and was taken for plenty by the Windies batsmen.
