The result hasn’t gone our way and we know that we were not good enough on the day. But I am proud of the team. Honestly, 20-30 runs (more) would’ve been good. We didn’t bat well enough

—Rohit Sharma, India captain

I think we saved our best for the last. A couple of bigmatch players stepped up and chuffed. Today (Sunday) we thought it was a good night to chase. The pitch was slower than I thought and didn’t particularly spin

—Pat Cummins, Australia captain

Well done Australia. An incredible achievement against all the odds against a great team in their own backyard. I personally have this as the greatest World Cup victory for a team. To win in India is the hardest place to claim the trophy

—Michael Vaughan, Former England captain

To win another World Cup in the manner and circumstance they have is one of the finest victories in our sporting history I reckon. Time to celebrate

—Adam Gilchrist, Australia’s three-time World Cup winner
