But, even though India's eves lost to a better opponent in the World Cup final, they were praised all over twitter by some prominent celebrities in sports and Bollywood.
Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra and Rahul Gandhi toplined the wishing list as they termed the Indian women's team as 'revolutionary' and also gave them a thumbs up for their fighting spirit.
