New Zealand's Cricket World Cup hopes dashed by India's dominant batting

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson believes that it's not over yet for their golden generation of cricketers, despite their elimination from the 2023 World Cup. The team, which has yet to win a World Cup together, has an aging squad with most players in their mid-to-late 30s by the next 50-over World Cup in 2027. Williamson emphasized the importance of bringing in new players and pushing the boundaries to improve as a team. He acknowledged India's dominant performance in the semi-final, where they put up a massive total of 397 runs, and praised their quality. Despite injuries and close losses, Williamson expressed satisfaction with the team's attitude and the valuable experience gained during the tournament.
