Over a billion hearts broke as Australia beat India in the World Cup final in Ahmedabad. PM Modi met the players in the dressing room to "raise their spirits" post-defeat. Modi hugged an emotional Mohammad Shami, the top wicket-taker of the tournament, and consoled him. Shami wrote on X, "Unfortunately yesterday was not our day. I would like to thank all Indians for supporting our team and me throughout the tournament. Thankful to PM Modi for especially coming to the dressing room and raising our spirits. We will bounce back!" Ravindra Jadeja said, "PM Modi's visit was special and very motivating." PM Modi told the team, "Your talent and determination was noteworthy. You've played with great spirit and brought immense pride." After India's crushing World Cup loss, a distraught Shami was consoled by PM Modi's motivational dressing room visit.
