Rohit Sharma breaks silence on World Cup final defeat

Rohit Sharma finally broke the silence on India’s heartbreaking defeat in the ICC Men’s World Cup 2023 final to Australia last month. Under Rohit’s leadership, India won 10 consecutive matches and entered the final at home with an unbeaten history, but lost to Australia by 6 wickets in the final match played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Team India coach Rahul Dravid spoke at the post-match press meet after the final defeat but Rohit was missing. The 36-year-old also didn’t appear in media for the last 24 days but has finally come out with an emotional video message, reflecting the heartbreaking World Cup. He shared the challengers and emotions experienced during the tournament.

Rohit speaking on the official Instagram run by his team, said that he found that it hard to digest the fact that his team fell short of winning what he felt was the ultimate prize in cricket.

“After the final, it was very hard to get back and start moving on, which is why I decided that I needed to get my mind out of this. But then, wherever I was, I realised that people were coming up to me and they were appreciating everyone’s effort, and how well we played. I feel for all of them. They all, along with us, were dreaming of lifting that World Cup, along with us,” Rohit said in a video on Instagram.

“Everywhere we went during this entire campaign, there was so much support from everyone who came to the stadium first and people who were watching it from home as well. I want to appreciate what the people have done for us, in that one and half month period. But again, if I think more and more about that I feel quite disappointed that we were not able to go all the way,” he added.

Rohit want not present at the stadium after the World Cup final loss, added that the appreciation shown by fans on Team India’s performance “means a lot” to him and has given me motivation to “get back and start moving on”.

“For me to see, you know, people coming up to me, telling me that they were proud of the team, you know made me feel good. Along with them, I was healing as well. I felt, okay these are the kind of things you want to hear,” Rohit said.

“People, when they understand what the player must be going through and when they know these kind of things and not to bring out that frustration, that anger, it means a lot for us, for me definitely it meant a lot because there was no anger, it was just pure love from people that I met and it was wonderful to see that. So it gives you motivation to get back and start working again and look for another ultimate prize.”

“I’ve always grown up watching the 50-over World Cup. To me, that was the ultimate prize, the 50-over World Cup. We’ve worked all these years, for that World Cup. And it is disappointing, right? If you don’t get through it, don’t get what you want, what you’ve been looking for all this while, what you were dreaming of. You get disappointed. You get frustrated as well at times,” Rohit said.
