World Cup semifinal loss to NZ still haunt us: Rahul

Explore Business Standard

Star India batsman KL Rahul said the heartbreaking World Cup semifinal loss to New Zealand, especially after a near-perfect show in the group stages, continues to haunt him and his teammates.
In a special chat show, 'The Mind Behind', Rahul said if he was given a chance to change the result of any one match in the past, it would surely have been the 2019 World Cup semifinal.
"It has to be the World Cup semifinal. I think most of us are still not over that loss, it is still haunts us sometimes," he said.
"I can't imagine what the senior players must have felt but you know in a World Cup it just becomes even harder knowing that we played so well in the entire tournament. I still wake up to that nightmare sometimes."
