New Delhi. Australia badly defeated India in the final match of World Cup 2023. At one point it seemed that India would win this match easily. But, on the basis of the brilliant batting of Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne, Australia won the World Cup title for the sixth time. After the defeat of the Indian team, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached the dressing room to encourage the Indian team. Ravi Shastri has made a big statement about this.
Speaking to ANI, Ravi Shastri said, “Apart from being a cricketer in the dressing room, I have also been a coach for many years. Looks pretty bad. When you get here and go out. But when you are feeling down and the Prime Minister of the country himself comes to your dressing room, it is a big deal.

Shastri further said, “PM’s coming to the dressing room is like creating enthusiasm among the players. Because going into the PM dressing room is not like a normal person. I know how the players must be feeling about the PM’s visit. I have seen this before as the coach of the Indian team.
