He further said that after the defeat in Ahmedabad, I honestly felt that I didn’t want to play cricket anymore. I had given my all for that World Cup. When we lost, I felt that there was nothing left in my body and mind. It felt like the game had drained all my energy. After that, I couldn’t feel anything. It took me several months to get over it.

How did Rohit Sharma overcome the grief of that defeat?
Rohit said that I think it’s natural to feel that way when you are so invested in something and don’t get the desired result, and that’s what happened to me after that loss. But I also knew that life doesn’t end there. This was a big lesson for me on how to get out of such situations, how to reset myself and make a fresh start. I knew something else was coming, the 2024 T20 World Cup was on the horizon, and I had to focus all my attention on that. It’s easy to say this now, but at the time, it was very difficult.
