Why Indian Cricket team failed to defend T20 World Cup Title?

may be over-exertion or may be over-confidence... even combination of both options is also possible...

Because they were beaten by England!

Seriously though - they didn't seem to want it as much as England. And a significant reason why England wanted it so much was due to being booed when they entered the pitch by the Indian fans at an English cricket ground.

Dhoni has already won it once and its our nature to defend our ego first rather defending the titles. We've several type of complexes like superiority and inferiority complexes.

Our captain (Dhoni) and vice captain (Sehwag) were fighting among themselves to maintain the supremacy. When we failed to keep our house in order, it becomes difficult to defend our pride. I think M S Dhoni should step down like Yunis khan at least from T20 team captaincy and allow other players to show their talents.

lack of good captaincy.....they were little bit over confident .... and dhoni did some rigid and unplanned captaincy.... but i think he will learn from his mistake here after atleast ....

I think the pressure of the competition got to the Indian players also allot of players were out on IPL duty, so even more pressure.To win a team competition,everyone as to work in unity,their can't be too many chiefs,otherwise cracks start to appear. TEAM and TEAM only is the winning formula.

First thing lack of experience in playing Short balls. Second one over confident. Third one Ishant Sharma whon dhoni kept faith that he will bowl very well.
