Pics: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli Dejected As India Suffer Bitter World Cup Final Defeat

The Indian cricket team's dream of winning the Cricket World Cup 2023 for the third time in its history ended on a sour note, as Australia secured a comfortable victory in the final, lifting the coveted trophy for the 6th time in their history. India, who were unbeaten in the tournament until the final, couldn't produce the same magic in the summit clash, leaving the players on the field shattered and heartbroken. Mohammed Siraj couldn't control his tears as Australia hit the winning runs while the likes of KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Mohammed Shami, and others were dejected.

Kohli was named the player of the tournament, having scored the most number of runs while Shami ended the campaign as the top wicket-taker. Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah, etc. had all produced commendable performances throughout the course of the event. But, fate had other plans for them in the final.
