November 19, 2023, is a date that millions of Indians might never forget. It is the date when the Indian cricket team lost the ODI World Cup 2023 Final against Australia. Indian captain Rohit Sharma recalled being in absolute disbelief after losing that game and said it took him two or three days to even realise that they had lost the chance to lift the coveted trophy.

"When I woke up the next day after the World Cup Final, I had no idea what happened last night. I was discussing it with my wife and told 'Whatever happened last night was a bad dream, right? I think the final is tomorrow.' It took me two to three days to realise that we lost the final and that we will get another chance only four years later," Rohit said in an interaction with Adidas India.
"I ran. I was in no mood to stand there in the middle. Honestly, I just wanted this so badly. When you want something that desperately and you don't get it, you get frustrated, you get angry and you get all this negative things. At that time, you won't even understand what's happening in your life," Rohit Sharma added
