What player of the India vs New Zealand final, Jasprit Bumrah, said: It feels extremely special because I’ve played one final at my home venue and, you know, couldn’t win that one, but this one feels really special. I couldn’t be really happy. I couldn’t be more special than this to win Man of the Match here in the World Cup finals. I started my cricket career here. It doesn’t get better than this.

What player of the tournament, Sanju Samson, said: It feels like a dream! Very happy, extremely grateful! Just surreal. It all started with the previous World Cup. I couldn’t play any game in the previous edition, but I kept believing in myself and kept the dream alive. I wasn’t sure about things, to be honest, but getting the opportunities, I cashed in on them. I have taken advice from the senior players in the team. I am in constant touch with Sachin Tendulkar sir, getting advice from him…well, what more can I ask for? The moment will have to sink in; a few days will be needed.
