Q/ How will you sum up the Indian team's World Cup campaign?
A/ It was a very good experience for our team overall. It was a young team, low on experience. Despite that everyone was so keen, giving their best. It was a total team performance, except [for] the final. In the final we had a few lapses, but had we created those opportunities, the result would surely have been different. Our self-confidence as a team has really gone up, given our performance through the tournament. Previously we did not have self-belief. This World Cup showed that we are no less than anyone.
Q/ You mentioned the lapses. Was it just fielding lapses or was it that Australia came hard at India in the final?
A/ I think that was not our day. Nothing went in our favour. No doubt, the Australian team is very good. But we gave them hard competition in the tri-series before the World Cup. I do not think we lost because of the catches dropped or the 90,000-strong crowd at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Throughout the tournament we had got very good support. Our girls, too, wanted a full house for the finals. The first few lapses and not grabbing the chances early on cost us.
Q/ How did you manage the young players in the team?
