In the tournament, Nepal\u2019s passionate fans turned out in great numbers to support their side in Dallas, Lauderhill and St Vincent, highlighting that cricket is fast gaining a religion-like status in the country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cTalking about our fans, we all are very grateful towards them. Especially I saw the video where they were crying (after) the match against South Africa where we lost. So, I think they are very passionate and loving.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSo, I think in the coming future we'll do our best and give them the gift which I think we missed in this tournament. Especially as a captain, I feel a little disappointed and I believe that they are also disappointed with these losses, especially against South Africa. So, I just want to say thank you for your support,\u201d said Paudel in the post-match press conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With Nepal showing glimpses of brilliance in their Group D matches, Paudel felt his team had it in them to challenge the best teams consistently in international cricket. \u201cThere are a lot of positives to take, especially the way we played in Asia Cup and now in World Cup against good teams.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSo I think the sense of belonging here is there in the team. And as a player, everyone knows their role. And just, I think everything is planned and you need to execute the plans. We believe we'll do better in the future.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThere are a lot of positives to take away, especially the way we bowled throughout the tournament. As a team, there's a lot of potential. If you back this team and play good cricket with good teams, especially Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and everyone. So regularly, if you play with them, I think there will be improvement in us,\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Paudel signed off by saying Nepal has to make advancements as a batting unit, especially after being bowled out for 85 in the pursuit of chasing 107 against Bangladesh and being unable to chase down 115 against South Africa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAs a batting unit, we didn't step up. Especially I think Bangladesh bowled really well and I think as a batting unit we batted really poor. There's no shame to accept that and as top-order batsmen, we could have taken that responsibility and scored that 107 runs. I think as a batting unit we failed.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe could have done better and if we get experience like this against top teams, I think in the coming future we can, we'll improve. I think from here only improvement is left I think as a batting unit and we need to step up, especially when you're playing for Nepal and you're a top-order batsman. We need to take that responsibility and bat all the 20 overs.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/06\/t20-world-cup-really-grateful-towards-support-from-fans-says-nepal-captain-paudel.jpeg", "alt_img": "T20 World Cup: Really grateful towards support from fans, says Nepal captain Paudel", "alt_title": "T20 World Cup: Really grateful towards support from fans, says Nepal captain Paudel", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "T20 World Cup: Really Grateful Towards Support From Fans, Says Nepal Captain Paudel On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "T20 World Cup: Really Grateful Towards Support From Fans, Says Nepal Captain Paudel, T20 World Cup: After their run in the 2024 Men\u2019s T20 World Cup ended with a 21-run defeat to Bangladesh,.", "seo_keywords": "ICC Men, T20 World Cup, Rohit Paudel, St Vincent, South Africa, With Nepal, Asia Cup, World Cup, Sri Lanka", "tag": "", "tagging": "ICC Men, T20 World Cup, Rohit Paudel, St Vincent, South Africa, With Nepal, Asia Cup, World Cup, Sri Lanka", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "t20-world-cup-really-grateful-towards-support-from-fans-says-nepal-captain-paudel", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "878", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-06-17 18:06:05", "updated": "2024-06-17 18:06:05", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "ICC Men, T20 World Cup, Rohit Paudel, St Vincent, South Africa, With Nepal, Asia Cup, World Cup, Sri Lanka", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-06-17 18:06:05", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/t20-world-cup-really-grateful-towards-support-from-fans-says-nepal-captain-paudel-146672" }
