After a perfect 10, India ended their winning streak in the ICC World Cup by losing the final against Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Following the match, the players from the Indian side, including skipper Rohit Sharma, Siraj were seen in tears, while Virat Kohli seemed gloomy, hiding his face with a cap. As the clips went viral, netizens empathised with the players, ‘Can’t see Rohit Sharma crying like this.’
What people said:
Lauding the performance, former batter VVS Laxman said, “Heartbreak for India but Rohit and his men must hold their heads high for a memorable run at the World Cup. One defeat does not define this team. Congrats to Australia for being crowned World Cup champions for a sixth time, and to Travis Head for a blistering century. Rohit will be bitterly disappointed now, but he should be proud of how he and the boys played throughout the last seven weeks.”
