Cricketers Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer made a captivating appearance on the second episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show. During the episode, Rohit opened up about the heartbreak of losing the World Cup 2023 to Australia in November last year.

In a candid conversation with host Kapil Sharma, Rohit Sharma shared his thoughts on the final match, acknowledging the team's momentum leading up to the crucial game. Despite the disappointment of the loss, Rohit praised the Australian team for their exceptional performance on the day.

Responding to Kapil's question, Rohit said,“Yeh kehna bada muskil he kyuki match ke pehle hum do din Ahmedabad mein the, hum practice kiye. Ek achcha momentum team ka bana hua tha. Bolte hain jaise ki autopilot mein team chal rahi thi (It is difficult to say because before the finals we were in Ahmedabad and did our practice. There was a good momentum. The team was on autopilot).”

“Jab final match start hua… humne shuruat achchi ki. I think Shubman Gill jaldi out ho gaya tha. But uske baad Virat [Kohli] aur mera thoda saa ek partnership ho gaya tha. Toh confidence tha ki hum achcha score khada kar sakenge. Par final mein jab ap khelte ho, bade matches mein… run laga doge board pe toh samne waalo ke upar pressure hogi. Chahe ho 100 run kyu na ho! Kyuki unko banana he woh run. Aur pressure mein koi bhi team fisal sakti hein! But unhone achcha cricket khela, Australia ne… unka bada partnership bhi ho agya tha (When the final match started we did well in the beginning. I think Shubman Gill was out quite fast. Then Virat Kohli and me had a good partnership. So we were confident that we would do well. But in these big matches, there is always a pressure. Even if that board says 100 runs. Because they know they have to score. And in that pressure any team can slip. But the Australian team played well and had a good partnership),” Rohit concluded.

Rohit Sharma is currently featuring for Mumbai Indians (MI) as a non-captain for the first time since 2013. MI, standing at the bottom of the points table with no points after 3 matches, will play Delhi Capitals (DC) on April 7. The IPL match starts at 3:30 PM.
