WC final was most dramatic game, helped cricket grow out of normal bubble: Morgan

England limited-overs skipper Eoin Morgan considers 2019 World Cup final as the "most dramatic game of cricket" that has ever been played, saying it helped the sport grow "outside the normal bubble" and lifted its profile.

England were adjudged the winners of the 50-over World Cup last year on the basis of their superior boundary count after the epic final against New Zealand, and also the ensuing Super Over, ended in a tie at the Lord's in London.

"The final was the most dramatic game of cricket and the best game of cricket that probably has ever been played which contributes to the hype of it," Morgan was quoted as saying by Kolkata Knight Riders in the side's official website.

It was a landmark day for sport overall as Novak Djokovic edged out Roger Federer in an epic Wimbledon summit clash some kilometres away, that's considered to be the longest ever final in the history of the prestigious tennis tournament.

"I think one of the great things about it was on the day of that great game of cricket was, it's always now associated with the longest ever Wimbledon final that was epic as well," Morgan said.

"It helped us in growing cricket outside of the normal bubble that we're already in to a different audience, and for us at home it has lifted the profile of the game like we've never seen."
"Just being able to impart some of my knowledge and experience along with some very senior players and a group of great support staff who always continue to question what we do in a good way in order to hold us accountable. It sort of culminated in last year's World Cup."
"While I'm here to help, I also want to learn as much as I can from him. There are a lot of dynamics about being a captain when you're playing in India that I don't know about, I'll be picking his brain the whole time."
