Earlier during the interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kohli opened up that he had zero confidence heading into the final, and how the then head coach Rahul Dravid and India captain Rohit Sharma motivated him.

"Whatever I was trying, it wasn't coming off. Whenever you feel like 'I can do it,' it's just the arrogance speaking. Basically, if your ego comes up, the game goes away from you. Sometimes, it's important to let that arrogance go off. There was no margin for arrogance in the final, especially with how everything panned out.
