WATCH: PM Modi consoles Team India in dressing room after ODI World Cup 2023 final loss
Team India was shattered after they lost the ODI World Cup 2023 final against Australia in front of their home crowd on November 19 at the iconic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. Notably, India’s skipper Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Mohammed Siraj had teary eyes just after the final. However, following that, India’s PM Modi Ji went to the Indian dressing room and tried to console them.
Moji Ji was seen encouraging Team India players while recalling the great victories from the nine league games as well as the great win against New Zealand in the semi-final. He was seen holding Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s hands while trying to console them after the shocking defeat. In addition, the PM was seen telling them to take the loss as an easy way to boost them and cheer them up.
“Aap log poora 10-10 game jeet ke aaye ho, yeh toh hota rehta hai. Muskuraiye bhai, desh aap logon ko dekh raha hai. Maine socha mil lun sab ko. (You have won 10 consecutive games. This one loss is normal, it keeps on happening. Please smile, the entire country is watching you. I just thought that I should go and meet you people),” PM Modi said in the video.
Just stick together and keep on motivating each other after loss: PM Modi
Moreover, PM Modi also invited them to meet him in Delhi to have a deep conversation about their lifestyle and other things. Furthermore, he was helping Team India players boost each other after the loss.
“Toh, aap sab log bahut acchi mehnat kare ho. Chaliye, hota hai. Aur saathiyon zara ek doosre ka hausla buland karte chaliye. Aur jab aap log zara free honge aur Delhi aayenge toh baithunga aap sab ke saath. Meri taraf se nimantaran hai aap sab logon ko.( Also, whenever you guys are free and are in Delhi then let’s meet again. You all are cordially invited from my side.)” he added further.
