What Rahul Dravid said during interaction with PM Modi
— I would like to thank you for giving us this opportunity to meet you and during our match in Ahmedabad, you had come there as well. I agree, the time was not that good, so we are very happy that we could meet you today on this happy occasion.
— The fighting spirit that Rohit and all these boys have shown, the never-say-die attitude that they have shown, means a lot.
– The credit goes to the boys, they have worked very hard for this. These boys have inspired the younger generation with their performance.
What Rohit Sharma said
— We all had waited a lot for this, worked very hard for this.
— Many times we came very close to winning the World Cup, but we could not move forward, but this time because of everyone we were able to achieve this…”
Virat Kohli says
— Thank you very much for calling us all here. This day will always remain in my mind because in this entire tournament.
— I was not able to make the contribution that I wanted to and at one time I also told Rahul bhai that I have not given justice to both myself and the team till now. So he told me that when the situation comes, I am sure that you will come into form.
— I told Rohit, I did not have that much confidence that I would be able to bat the way I wanted to.
— So when we went to play, I got 3 fours in the first 4 balls, so I went and told him, what kind of a game is this, one day it seems that not even a single run will be scored and then another day comes and everything starts happening…”
