Rohit cried. Siraj cried. Virat’s eyes also became moist. After the defeat in the World Cup final, the tears of Indian cricketers could not be stopped. The emotions of his heart came out. The face expressed the pain hidden in the chest. The happiness of 10 matches turned into an ocean of sorrow in an instant. The dream that Rohit Sharma had started seeing as soon as he became the captain was shattered. There was now silence in the Indian camp which was seen in high spirits during the entire World Cup. The world which they had set out to conquer on the basis of their cricket had now become a reality for them.
Actually, the defeat in the World Cup final has brought a mountain of sorrow on the entire Indian team. But, there are some players for whom perhaps this has become a wound which can never be healed. The top name among those players is that of Captain Rohit Sharma, who is at that stage of age from where it is not possible to say whether he will play the next World Cup or not. Similarly, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami are also there. Virat Kohli is also in this list of players standing on the threshold of age, who undoubtedly has the feeling of becoming a world champion once, but he may not get the same second chance now.
Team India had a golden opportunity
There is no doubt that this was the golden opportunity for Team India to end its 12-year wait in the ICC tournament by winning the World Cup. One reason for this was that all the players of the team were in form and they were riding the victory chariot on the field. Apart from this, speculations were also gaining momentum because the trend in the last 3 World Cups was that the host team was crowned the world champion.
Rohit Sharma’s statements also raised hopes
Team India’s desire to win the World Cup was clearly visible from the repeated statements of captain Rohit Sharma. When the crackers started bursting after Team India won the Asia Cup, he said in the press conference – Burst after winning the World Cup. Apart from this, in many interviews he was seen saying that while sleeping and waking up, he is only thinking about the World Cup.
Rohit Sharma’s dream shattered
This means that Indian captain Rohit Sharma was well aware of the importance of this occasion. Capitalizing on this opportunity, the start of the tournament was also good. But the result fell short of expectations. India, which won all the matches, could not win the World Cup final. This pain hurt Rohit Sharma so much that his chest was pierced. With moist eyes he immediately made his way to the pavilion.
This is how Team India broke after the World Cup final
The result of the final shocked the other players also. Virat Kohli’s eyes looked tearful. Siraj was heartbroken, there were tears in his eyes. It was natural to have such an atmosphere in the team after the defeat. But even in this situation, players were seen consoling and giving courage to each other. This is Team India. This is the sign of a better team.
