In a video shared by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the two players spoke candidly about the emotions surrounding India\u2019s title-winning campaign and the journey that led to the moment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kishan highlighted the significance of the victory, noting that the host nation had never previously won the tournament before India\u2019s triumph.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHosting nation never won the World Cup, and here we are. We played with all our hearts. We worked out throughout the tournament, we were in a very good headspace, we backed each other and that\u2019s what India team is all about. It was the last time at the 2023 World Cup; I was there, and we were all crying in the dressing room. But this is how things turn around. We played a very good game, credit goes to everyone, support staff, and everyone who was with us, and today here we are, lifting the trophy and we hope to do it again,\u201d Kishan said in a bcci.tv video.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Abhishek, who played a key role during the tournament, described the moment of winning the World Cup as the pinnacle of his career so far.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cOne of the best. It\u2019s the top of the moment,\u201d Abhishek said. Kishan also praised his teammate for maintaining a positive attitude even during difficult phases in the competition. \u201cLook at this champion. You don\u2019t get runs, it doesn\u2019t matter. Be in a good headspace. First of all, even when he was not scoring runs, he was always there to help each other,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reflecting on his personal struggles earlier in the tournament, Abhishek credited the team environment and support staff for helping him stay confident.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIf you would have told me that we\u2019re winning the cup and getting the last wicket as well, then I would have been suffering through that days because it wasn\u2019t easy for me. But I think the team, coaches, everyone, the way they were treating me, the way they were helping me throughout, I didn\u2019t feel alone at all for a single day. Because you never feel this in the team. When you\u2019re not scoring well, you\u2019re doing well throughout the year and then suddenly\u2026I\u2019m very proud of the team,\u201d an emotional and overwhelmed Abhishek said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
