"I've played many World Cups with her (Mandhana) and every time we lost, we went home heartbroken and stayed quiet for a few days. When we returned, we always said, 'we have to start again from ball one'. It was heartbreaking because we played so many World Cups - reaching finals, semi-finals, and sometimes not even that far. We were always thinking, when will we break this?"

The veteran also remarked that they were ecstatic to learn about the venue change of the final.

"As soon as we got to know that our venue had been changed to DY Patil Stadium, we all got so happy because we’ve always played good cricket there and the biggest thing is the crowd — it’s always so supportive."

The Indian players will return to their respective hometowns soon.
