AHMEDABAD: Moments after India's crushing defeat in the World Cup final broke a billion hearts, head coach Rahul Dravid was trying to collect his thoughts and put into perspective the hurt he and his boys were feeling.
For two years, Dravid and skipper Rohit Sharma had prepared exactly for this moment. However, it all went wrong as India faltered at the final step to extend the search for an ICC trophy into its 11th year. Dravid was, however, all praise for Rohit, who was seen holding back tears as he walked off after Glenn Maxwell hit the winning runs.
