Many players were in tears, and the atmosphere was even more emotional than the celebration of the 2024 title win. This victory wasn&#8217;t just a two-digit mark for the team, but a battle for self-respect.

Varun said, &#8220;The amount of emotion in the dressing room was more than when we won the trophy in 2024. This victory has proven that we are not a team that gives up easily.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He further stated that injuries to several key players at the beginning of the tournament had weakened the team mentally. Varun gave full credit to coach Abhishek Nair for the team&#8217;s comeback, saying that it took a lot of courage to boost the team&#8217;s morale and keep them united during difficult circumstances. He is confident that the team will gradually get back on track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Varun Chakravarthy said that the scene in the dressing room after the win against Rajasthan was a sight to behold.
