"This is one thing which I have never seen since I have started playing cricket, since I have started following cricket that a champion team is denied to get a trophy," Suryakumar said. "That too a hard-earned one, it's not like we got it easily. It was a hard-earned tournament. We were here since the 4th [September], played two back-to-back good games. I feel we deserved it. I can't say anything more, I think I have summed it up really well, I can't say anything more about it.
"We can't say we were disappointed. But if you see, we had a lot of smiles on our faces as we were on the ground enjoying the moment on the podium," he added.
