‘Mondayest Monday ever’: Netizens ask for holiday to mourn India’s World Cup final loss

Following India's loss to Australia in the Cricket World Cup final, social media was flooded with requests for a "Mondayest Monday ever" in order to mourn the defeat.

The hashtag #MondayestMondayEver quickly gained traction on Twitter, with many users calling for a national holiday to give fans time to process their disappointment.

"I need a Mondayest Monday ever to recover from this heartbreaking loss," one user wrote on X.

Another wrote, "This loss has left me feeling so down. I can't even think about going to work tomorrow. #MondayestMondayEver"

Ayushi Mishra, an X user, while expressing his sentiment, shared,"Monday aur World Cup haarne ka dukh jhela nahi ja raha (cannot bear the pain of Monday and losing the World Cup), a petition to declare a national cry holiday today."

"Dear BCCI and ICC or whoever is in charge of the World Cup, next time please schedule the final on a Saturday. Win or loss, it at least gives us a day to recover. Already we dread Mondays. This one is going to be especially hard," another user wrote.

"I am still coming to grips with the loss," one X user suggested of a structural change. Better to have the best of 3 finals like the Australian tri-series. One bad day cannot take the shine off the best side!"

"Monday is already bad as it is. Now, the office is gloom and sad for the loss. Very depressing. Keep it on Saturday,” came another plea.

"Monday ❌ Mourning Day ✔️18th birthday ruined Kaise batau World Cup gift me chahiye tha aur kuch nahi 😫," a user wrote.

Famous companies and celebrities have also gone to social media to show their love, respect, and admiration for Team India following their loss to Australia on Sunday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
