India was sad on Sunday. The nation could not be faulted as its dream had come crashing down. The country had pinned their hopes on the Indian cricket team to bring home the World Cup with a win over Australia in the final in Ahmedabad, but it was the visitors who were the better team on the day and deservedly took the title.
But the most dejected lot of them all were the Indian cricket team players, who played a fearless brand of cricket over the last month-and-half.
But one bad day in office ruined their dreams. India captain Rohit Sharma and Player of the Tournament Virat Kohli were visibly broken down after the painful defeat to Australia.
While videos showed that Rohit Sharma had tears in his eyes, Kohli, who scored the most runs in the competition and was named player of the tournament, his his face with his cap.
