NEW DELHI: Mohammed Siraj couldn't hold back his tears after Australia scored the winning runs to win the ICC World Cup on Sunday. India skipper Rohit Sharma rushed out of the field with welled-up eyes. In the end, after a six-wicket defeat in the final, the Indian team was an emotional wreck, as head coach Rahul Dravid revealed after the match.
“Of course, he (Rohit Sharma) is disappointed, as are many boys in the dressing room...There were a lot of emotions in that dressing room. It was tough to see as a coach because I know how hard these guys have worked, what they have put in, the sacrifices they have made," said Dravid, who was part of the team that lost the 2003 World Cup final to Australia.
"It's tough to see...because you get to know these boys personally, you get to see the effort they put in, the hard work that we have put in over the last month, the kind of cricket we have played," said the batting legend.
