The fast bowler of team India, Mohammed Shami, opened up about the heart-breaking World Cup final loss to Australia and called it a bad day for the team.
Mohammed Shami opened up about the loss in the final of the 2023 World Cup to Australia and said it was a bad day for the team.
India’s quest for a third Cricket World Cup title ended in heartbreak on November 19, 2023, as they were defeated by Australia in the final.
While opening up about the loss in the World Cup finals to Australia, Shami said, “Everybody feels pressure. When you are playing for your country, there is a responsibility that you have. Everyone feels pressure; everyone needs to plan and execute. However, we don’t show how much pressure we are under. Yes, there are times when players don’t perform up to their best, and it involves a lot of factors.”
While continuing his statement, he said, “A lot of people were saying that we chose the wrong pitch. A few others said we should have scored more. Yes, a lot of people watch and make these claims. But when we get on the field, we are the ones who are dealing with situations.”
“From Day 1, we made it clear that if we win, we win together as a team; if we lose, we lose together as a team.”
When we reached the final, we had one mood in the dressing room: ‘We are in this together’. No one will be blamed. We were planning to give our best.”
While concluding, Shami said, “You can call it a bad day; the luck was not on our side.”
