Virat Kohli Cried After 2019 World Cup Loss, Reveals Yuzvendra Chahal

Virat Kohli's Passion for Winning Affects Him Deeply

Virat Kohli fights tooth and nail for the success of the team. But when India loses crucially, it hurts him a lot. Even though he hasn't won an ICC trophy as captain, he is still among India's finest leaders. He led Team India in the 2019 ODI World Cup. India got defeated by New Zealand in the semifinal. Despite MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja playing well, India lost.

Chahal Recalls a Personal Moment After the Loss

Yuzvendra Chahal recently revealed that Kohli cried in the bathroom after the game. The whole team shared the sting of that loss. Kohli's outburst indicated how much the loss affected him.

Feelings Ran High Throughout and After the Match

Chahal remembered the incident. He stated, "I saw Kohli crying after the 2019 World Cup semifinal. Not only him, the entire team was emotional. I was the last to come back to the pavilion. While passing in front of him, tears were already in his eyes. It was also Dhoni's final game. I thought that I could have bowled better. Maybe conceded 15 runs less."

Match Performance and Reflections

In that game, Chahal bowled 10 overs. He gave away 63 runs and took one wicket. That game's memory still stays with him and with many players.
