Even though the World Cup final in Ahmedabad took place more than a week ago, Australia's captain Pat Cummins still finds it hard to forget the silence that descended upon the "sea of blue" as Virat Kohli made his way back to the dressing room. Cummins remembered the bizarre occasion when a crammed stadium with a capacity of more than a lakh had the "feel of a library" when he got home. Ever since, the stillness of Ahmedabad has been a feature of the lively discussions around cricket, preventing the World Cup din from disappearing. For many, it has held immense meaning.
