In a special chat shജow, 'The Mind Behind', Rahul said if he was given a chance to change the result of any one match in the past, it would surely have been the 2019 World Cup semifinal.
"It has to be the World Cup semifinal. I think most of us are still not🐷 over that loss, it is still haunts us sometimes," he said.
ꦐ"I can't imagine what the senior players must have felt but you know in a World Cup it just becomes even harder knowing that we played so well in the entire tournament. I still wake up to that nightmare sometimes."
I💝ndia were perhaps the most dominant side in the group stage of the 2019 World Cup, winning each of their matches except the one against hosts England.
The Viratಌ Kohli-led side w��as the favourite going into the semifinal against eventual runner-up New Zealand but lost the crucial contest by 18 runs.
Just like other Indian cricketers, Rahul too is currently enjoying a rare break from ⛄the game because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Let me talk about myself. I've just been sitting and doing some homework. I've been wa﷽tching some videos from the past and taking notes 𝓀of the things I was doing right and where I could improve," he signed off.
