“I think we’ll be smiling for a fair while. We are still buzzing. Every half an hour so, you kind of remember that you just won a World Cup and get excited all over again,” Pat Cummins said in the press. “You only get one chance every four years and especially playing somewhere like India, it’s hard.”
