New Zealand had shown the way out of the tournament by defeating India by 18 runs in the semi-finals played in Manchester. That moment was heart-wrenching for every player of Team India. But, Rohit Sharma’s pain in the dressing room turned out to be tears because despite his strong performance in that World Cup, Team India had to see that day.
