Disappointed master blaster

Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar, who was declared `Man of the Tournament', looked disappointed and said he would have been much happier had India won the World Cup.

``It was simply not our day. Of course, its a great feeling to have won the award, but I would have been much happier if India had won the World Cup,'' said Tendulkar.

``I am certainly disappointed that I couldn't play a major role in the final, but then we play as a team and not as individuals,'' he said.

Tendulkar admitted he enjoys batting as an opener.

``I think that's where I belong. I have scored many runs as an opener. Here also I was among the runs,'' he said.
