Why did Team India lose in the World Cup final - Dravid told BCCI

Indian Cricket Team: The defeat in the final of ODI World Cup 2023 is hurting everyone. Team India performed better throughout the tournament, but luck did not favor them in the last match. BCCI recently held a World Cup review meeting with Team India's management and captain Rohit Sharma, in which various issues were discussed. Also know the reasons for the team's defeat in the final.

According to a report, coach Rahul Dravid has blamed the pitch for the defeat in the final. Rahul Dravid told that the pitch did not help him as much as he expected in the final. If the pitch had helped even a little then the spinners could have done wonders and Team India could have made a comeback in the match.

Let us tell you that the final match between India and Australia was held in Ahmedabad, this match took place on the same pitch where India-Pakistan fought. Although a new pitch is used for big events like the final, but here only the old pitch was used. And perhaps this proved to be a heavy burden for Team India.

Who was present in the meeting?

BCCI Secretary Jai Shah, Vice President Rajeev Shukla and other officials were present in this meeting. The board has expressed anger over the defeat in the final, however, the team management has said that our strategy was successful in 10 matches and the team's performance in the World Cup was quite excellent. Only the pitch and luck did not favor the team in the final.

In the same meeting, Rahul Dravid and his team have been given an extension till the T20 World Cup to be held in June and he will remain the coach. Apart from this, it has also been decided that Rohit Sharma will captain in the T-20 World Cup. However, a shocking news that came from here was that Virat Kohli is not sure to play the T20 World Cup because BCCI is not happy with his strike rate.
