A video capturing Virat Kohli's response post India's defeat in the 2023 ODI World Cup final against Australia is making rounds on social media, reflecting the heartbreak felt by Indian cricket and its fans. While Team India exhibited stellar performance throughout the tournament, their dream-run ended with a poignant loss in the final, surrendering to a six-wicket defeat despite securing victories in all preceding games.

The heart-wrenching defeat on November 19 at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium left a lasting impact, particularly among the India players who took part in the epic final, as India had navigated flawlessly until the semifinal, systematically overwhelming opponents. However, a crucial off day coincided with the final, played on a peculiarly prepared pitch that initially favored slowness and dryness but underwent a dramatic shift during Australia's successful run-chase of 240.

In the era of social media, disengaging becomes challenging for both cricketers and fans, especially for a team that has faced a drought of ICC trophies at the senior level for over a decade. The phrase "The wait continues" was not the message Indian cricket fans or even the cricketers had expected following the match.

The heart-wrenching scenes unfolded as players, including Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Mohammed Siraj, who had consistently delivered exceptional performances, were visibly devastated, shedding tears after the final whistle. The defeat resonated profoundly with Indian fans, mourning the loss of what appeared to be an inevitable triumph.

Following Australia's record win, the Indian players were shocked and dejected. The viral video featured Kohli, who was observed taking off his cap and dislodging the bails in disappointment. A video capturing the players' reactions at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad after the final was recently shared by a fan on Instagram.

Kohli's individual achievements in the tournament were outstanding, breaking records with 50 ODI centuries and amassing a massive 765 runs in the Cricket World Cup at an average of 95.62, including three centuries and six half-centuries. Despite his extraordinary run with the bat, there was no trace of a smile on Kohli's face when he walked up to receive the Player of the Tournament medal.
