“The intensity, the camaraderie, the resilience what we have shown today and also throughout the tournament were nothing sort of extraordinary stuff.
“We fielded like a pack of wolves, as Rahul bhai and Rohit keep saying… Everybody knew their roles but together we hunted every opportunity which came our way leaving no stone unturned,” Dilip added.
India made a sensational comeback to deny South Africa a maiden World Cup title, as they won by seven runs with Suryakumar Yadav taking a decisive catch in the final over. (PTI)
