Indian fans have suffered another heartbreak as Australia defeated India in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 final by 209 runs at the Oval in London. This is the second consecutive time when the Indian team have lost a WTC final. The first loss came in 2021 against New Zealand, while this time, Australia thrashed the Men in Blue.

Meanwhile, Indian captain Rohit Sharma talked about the match in the post-match interview and said that they let themselves down by not bowling well in the first innings. He also appreciated the Australian batters and especially Travis Head and Steve Smith, who stitched a brilliant 285-run stand together.

“I thought we started well with winning the toss, putting them to bat in those conditions. We bowled well in the first session and then we let ourselves down with how we bowled. Got to give credit to the Australian batters. Head came in and played really well along with Steven Smith. That just took us off guard a little bit. We knew it was always hard to come back, but we put up a good show. We fought till the end. We've worked hard for all those four years. Playing two finals is honestly a good achievement for us,” Rohit said at the post-match presentation after the match.

We'll keep our heads high and fight: Rohit Sharma

The 36-year-old batter further added that they have worked in the past two years to qualify in WTC 2023 final. He said that they will keep their head high and will fight again in the future to qualify for the next WTC final in 2025. 

“But we'd like to go a mile ahead as well. You can't take the credit away from what we've done in those last two years to come here. Great effort from the entire unit. It’s unfortunate that we couldn't go on and win the final but we'll keep our heads high and fight. (Crowd support) It's been brilliant. They've gotten behind the time. I'd like to thank each one of them. They were cheering for every run and every wicket,” he said.
