Key Highlights
- With all of its advantages over their global competitors, how did India fail to win WC?

- Sharma cut a dejected figure as Glenn Maxwell closed in like a one-man elephant stampede
It felt as if Rohit Sharma would never go down. As if his Blue Brigade would never go down, standing there, clinging desperately to the coveted crown.
