A tearful Rohit walks out along with Virat Kohli and others. But the teams' efforts did not go unnoticed as Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally visited the team in the dressing room to offer them words of support.

Unfortunately yesterday was not our day. I would like to thank all Indians for supporting our team and me throughout the tournament. Thankful to PM @narendramodi for specially coming to the dressing room and raising our spirits. We will bounce back! pic.twitter.com/Aev27mzni5

You've played with great spirit and brought immense pride to the nation. We stand with you today and always,"

Australia's captain won the toss and chose to field first. India managed to set 240 runs' target for the final match. With the outstanding partnership between Head and Marnus Labuschagne, Australia won the world cup trophy for the sixth time.
