The Indian captain Rohit Sharma was finally able to pose with the World Cup trophy after missing last year's ODI World Cup. The Pat Cummins-led Australian side outplayed India in the summit clash to clinch the title. But, Sharma was able to win the ICC trophy just seven months after that painful defeat.
