Full Text Of Rohit Sharma’s Reaction On World Cup 2023 Final Loss
The first few days after the World Cup loss were tough for me. I didn’t know how to handle it. My family and friends played a crucial role in keeping things light and helping me cope. Moving on in life is necessary, but honestly, it was not easy. Watching the 50-over World Cup has always been a big deal for me; it’s the ultimate prize. We worked hard for years, dreaming of winning it. So, when you don’t achieve that dream, it’s disappointing and frustrating.
I felt we did everything we could in those 10 games we won. Yes, we made mistakes, but that happens in every game. No game can be perfect; you can aim for a near-perfect one, but perfection is impossible. Despite the disappointment, life goes on, and we have to keep moving forward.
On the positive side, I’m incredibly proud of the team for the outstanding performance. Such a level of play doesn’t happen in every World Cup.
Our performance brought a lot of joy and pride to people, despite the difficulty of bouncing back after the finals. That’s why I felt the need to go somewhere and take my mind off things. However, wherever I went, people approached me, appreciating everyone’s efforts and acknowledging how well we played.
I really empathize with everyone because they shared the dream of winning the World Cup with us. Throughout the entire World Cup campaign, we received immense support from those who came to the stadium and those watching from home.
I want to express my gratitude for all the support during that 1 1/2 months. However, when I reflect on it more, I feel disappointed that we couldn’t go all the way. It was heartening to hear people say they were proud of the team, and it did provide some comfort during the healing process. Getting that kind of positive feedback is exactly what you want to hear.
Meeting people who understand what players go through, and acknowledging their frustration and anger, is really meaningful for us. Personally, it meant a lot to me. Despite the anger, the love and support from the people I met were truly wonderful.
Such experiences motivate me to get back, start working again, and aim for another ultimate prize. It’s the encouragement and understanding from fans that fuel our determination to keep striving for success.
