Warner responded cryptically, emphasizing the essential nature of performance during crucial moments. "I like MK, the issue is it does not matter what’s on paper. At the end of the day, you need to perform when it matters. That’s why they call it a final. That’s the day that counts, and it can go either way, that’s sports. 2027 here we come," Warner shared on X, underscoring the unpredictable nature of sporting events.

Adding to the discourse, Gautam Gambhir took a decisive stance, affirming that the team emerging victorious in the final deserves the title of the best team in the World Cup. He dismissed assertions suggesting otherwise, labeling them as erroneous and among the most unconventional statements he has encountered.
