"It's always amazing to win an ICC event, especially the Champions Trophy. I remember 2017 very closely to my heart. We couldn't finish the job that time. Pleased with how we have played throughout the tournament, and at the same point of time how everyone contributed. (On how KL finished the game) Brilliant, calm, composed, took his chances at the right point of time. I think this is what KL Rahul is. KL Rahul has immense talent, I don't think anyone can hit the ball the way he can. That was an exhibition of how he did today," said Hardik in post-match conference.
