Legends and Pundits react to India's heart breaking World Cup loss

Till a few years ago, nobody could have imagined that a billion eyes would be glued to Women’s Cricket World Cup



Cups will come & go, but today is a victory for each & every INDIAN GIRL who dared to defy odds & societal barriers! 🇮🇳



Congrats to Australia!

India lost only one game in the tournament. So did Australia. Both teams lost to each other. India beat Aus in the tournament opener. Australia beat India in the finals. Such is life....

Proud of all the efforts put in by the Indian Women's Cricket Team throughout their campaign. I'm confident that you girls will bounce back stronger than ever. 🙌

As a sport loving nation, as much as we crave for victories, we also are hungry for trophies but the results haven't reflected it. Thought we had a good chance today. Its been 10 attempts and the wait for an ICC TROPHY continues

I know how tough it is to be so close to that World Cup & not win it. But chin up, girls! It’s not about the result, but about the generation you’ve inspired. You had a campaign you can be very proud of!

Also congratulations Australia, a much deserved win.

Instead of being overawed by the expectation of a home World Cup final at a packed MCG, Australia have thrived on it. Healy calmed the nerves early. India looked intimidated unfortunately. They will learn from it one hopes.

How many knockouts did your team play since that final? Men and Women included. Jinke ghar sheeshe ke hote hain voh light jala ke kapde nahin badalte, dost 🙏

And India, well played to get to the final. It was an excellent campaign till today. Look forward to more

No matter what we are still proud of you . Remember this was our first defeat in the tournament. So many great memories of the tournament. Lessons learnt and hopefully next time we will be champion.

Being in the final was creditable. India must take pride in that and also scrutinise why and what went wrong in the final. That’s how teams rise to become champions

No excuses Australia is not just better but much better but India can surely build from here. They have serious talent and can only get better. But as I said this Aus team is one of the best of all time if not the best. I have been saying this for ages and again it is proved.
