9 years ago, on this day, with an unbeaten 82 off 52 deliveries, Lendl Simmons overshadowed Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 89 off 47 deliveries to crash India’s T20 World Cup hopes in front of the home crowd during the 2016 World Cup semifinal played in Mumbai.

He was well supported by Andre Russell, who also made an unbeaten 43 off 20 deliveries, and by Johnson Charles, who made 52 runs. When it came to the last over, the West Indies needed just eight runs to win. No one would’ve expected the bowler who was chosen to deliver that over.

However, it took only two deliveries for Russell to end things, as he scored four and six off the third and fourth deliveries, respectively, ending India’s journey. With that, the West Indies were through to the final.
