Rohit Sharma recently opened up India’s loss in ODI World Cup final

Meanwhile, India captain, Rohit Sharma, who will make his comeback after a heartbreaking ODI World Cup final loss to Australia, in the upcoming Test series against South Africa, released a video in which he can be seen talking about that loss and revealing how he tried to overcome that feeling.

“After the final, it was very hard to get back and start moving on, which is why I decided that I need 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, how well we played. I feel for all of them. They all, along with us, were dreaming of lifting that World Cup.” Rohit was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.

“Everywhere we went during this entire campaign, there was so much support from everyone who came to the stadium firstly 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 said.
