Rohit Sharma Was Unable To Digest 2023 ODI World Cup Finals Defeat

India suffered a massive heartbreak in the finals of the ICC Men's Cricket World 2023 as Australia crushed India's dreams with a 6-wicket victory.

India, who won 10 of the 10 games prior to November 19, surrendered against the mighty Aussies, and captain Rohit Sharma was heartbroken.

A few days after the defeat, he posted a video expressing his feeling of denial. Rohit Sharma revealed taking time to come to terms with the reality and how his family supported him through the darkest time.
