They needed to change the team

At least needed to replace SKY with Kishan or any player.

Problem is except Jaddu no all rounder

N if hardik was not injured then also what would happen? Shardul would be there at 8? He is a bits n pieces type player.... missing specialist all-rounders like yuvraj who is atleast s specialist in one department n also handy in the other one...

Australia has a lot of them bdw..

Mitch Marsh: Pure elation right now. Been the hardest 8 weeks of cricket I was a part of. To be here with this group, it feels unbelievable.

Steve Smith: Incredible feeling! Atmosphere was amazing today. Great performance from the team. The bowlers set the tone, fielding was great. Travis Head - the show he put on was incredible. Took the game on and Marnus played another unbelievable knock and played a great supporting role. Wasn't the ideal start for us (with bat) but we had the belief and we have got a good group of players. We had a poor start and then had to get into the top four - Australia typically plays well in those moments. It has been a pretty big year for us winning the Test championship and this. Yeah, it was pretty good fun.

Exactly

I didn't wanted to say this

But saying

Dhoni said

Also, he focuses on playing all-rounders, we had just 1 in the team, saving runs, no extras.

We did everything he said was important to win.

Most importantly I belive we need to learn to absorb pressure.

Also team India in knockouts is altogether different horror

Mitchell Starc: He (Cummins) was phenomenal, he's been phenomenal all tournament in his decision making, his leadership. At times, he had to step up with the ball when it's been a bit flat. Capped off an unbelievable eight weeks for this group. I haven't got any words left. Between Pat, Ron (Andrew McDonald) and all our coaching staff, all our players across formats, it's been an incredible winter. I don't think you could write a script to top the win that we've had. To win a World Cup in India, it's been a fantastic eight weeks . Bloody successful and bloody enjoyable.

Mine too... It breaks for Rohit

Virat and Ash have a wc. Sucks for Rohit tbh.

So heartbreaking

Today is very heartbreaking day for all Indians … after 3 wicks were lost of Australia couldn’t watch TV anymore… no mood to even cook for lunch it’s really a very sad day…

After long we had a good team who were capable of winning the WC , now the next teams who will come can’t say if they r or not

Travis Head | Player of the Match - 137(120): Never expected this, not in a million years, truly an exceptional day. Lot better than sitting on the couch at home. Really glad to contribute, the first twenty balls I played gave me a lot of confidence and yea I was able to carry through. The way Mitch Marsh came out and took the game on set the tone, we knew the wicket may get tough. Was a great decision to bowl first after winning the toss, it paid dividends. Nice to be a part of it and play a role in all of that. He’s (Rohit Sharma) probably the unluckiest man in the world now. Was great to hold on to that catch, who knows he could’ve probably got a hundred if not more. (On joining the list of centurions in WC finals) Nice list to join, nice to be here, nice to contribute. It’s going to be a nice couple of days, looking forward to it.
