Cricket World Cup final: Rohit Sharma analyses Team India's heartbreaking loss | India vs Australia

Rohit Sharma was clearly heartbroken after Team India went down in the Cricket World Cup final against Australia on Sunday.

The dream to win the World Cup after 12 years shattered as the Men in Blue failed to put their best foot forward in the final despite making it to the ultimate showdown on the back of a 10-match winning streak.

'The result hasn't gone our way and we know that we were not good enough on the day. But proud of the team. It wasn't supposed to be. Honestly, 20-30 runs would've been good. I thought when KL and Virat were batting, we were looking at 270-280 at that point and we kept losing wickets,' said Rohit during the post-match presentation.

'Australia stitched a big partnership after losing three wickets. With 240 on the board, we wanted early wickets but credit to Travis Head and Marnus. They put us completely out of the game and I thought the wicket got better to bat under lights. I mean we knew under lights, it would be better but don't want to give that as an excuse. We didn't bat well enough, but credit to those two guys in the middle for stitching that big partnership,' the Indian skipper concluded.
