2023 is very recent that's why. Also Rohit's tears made it worst. 2003 was painful too

It's definitely not just recency bias. It was a once in a generation team that went into a final with an undefeated 11 game streak. It also not just the loss, but the margin with which they lost was pretty dreadful. Not sure how intact this team will be by 2027, but hopefully at least some of these players will win a world cup in their career once.

The main issue with 2023 is that we were the absolute dominant team throughout the tournament. All our 10 victories before the final were "clean", there was no wobble, no trouble, no close games etc. And then we lost the final.
