India captain Mithali Raj admitted wilting under pressure in a tense run chase against England in the World Cup final but said they will walk out as a proud bunch.
"Yes, I'm proud of the team. It wasn't easy for England but credit to them for keeping their nerves. There was a time where the match was in the balance, but we panicked and that led to our defeat," Raj said after the match.
"I'm very proud of the girls. They didn't make any match look easy for the other team. We did very well in the tournament. All the youngsters in the team tried their best," she added. Asked about her future, she said, "I will definitely play for a couple of years more, but I don't see myself playing the next World Cup." On Jhulan Goswami who took three wickets to restrict England to 228 for 7, she said, "Jhulan is an experienced bowler and has always delivered when the team has needed her to.
It could've been a match-winning performance, but I knew England have depth.
"Thank you to the crowd for turning up for a women's cricket final," said Raj.
