Indian skipper Rohit Sharma said he had no idea about how to move on from the loss. Rohit said, “I had no idea how to come back from this. In the first few days I didn’t know what to do, you know my family, my friends kept me going and kept things pretty light around me which was quite helpful.” He further added that it was not an easy loss to digest for him or anyone in the camp. Indian players were deeply disappointed with the World Cup final loss. 

Rohit Sharma also explained that winning the 50-overs World Cup is the ultimate prize for anyone who plays the game. Rohit added, “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, you don’t get what you want, what you’ve been looking for all this while, what you were dreaming of. You get disappointed.” 

Rohit Sharma also appreciated the effort of the entire team and said he along with his side has received multiple applauds due to their performances apart from the World Cup final. Indian skipper said, “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.
