Full Text Of Rohit Sharma's Reaction On World Cup 2023 Final Loss:

"I had no idea how to come back from this the first few days. I don't know what to do. You know, my family, my friends kept me going, kept things pretty light around me, which was quite helpful. It wasn't easy to digest, but yeah, life moves on. You have to move on in life. But honestly, it was tough. It was not. It was not so easy to just move on. I've always grown up watching 50 over World Cup and to me that was, you know, the ultimate prize, the 50 over World Cup.
