India cricket coach Ravi Shastri has praised Kane Williamson for his "composure and dignity" in the face of a heartbreaking defeat to England in the World Cup final.
After the Black Caps and England were tied in the Monday's final, the match went to a dramatic Super Over where the two sides were still on equal runs but England were declared winners by the cruellest of tiebreakers – they had scored more boundaries during their innings.
The Black Caps' stoic skipper has been widely applauded for his response to the events of the final – which included a controversial six runs that were awarded to England after an incorrect umpire ruling of the overthrow laws.

Shastri, who saw his side go down to New Zealand in the semifinal, took to social media to praise Williamson, even saying he has "one hand" on the World Cup.
