ICC Cricket World Cup 2023

Following Australia's victory against hosts India in the ODI World Cup title clash, a picture surfaced on captain Pat Cummins' Instagram showing Marsh with his feet placed on the trophy, sparking a social media uproar.

In the final showdown at Ahmedabad on November 19, Kohli fought valiantly with a score of 54 to lift India from a precarious situation. However, Cummins bowled a short ball that resulted in Kohli chopping onto his stumps without conceding a boundary in his impressive spell of 2-34 in ten overs. Australia successfully chased down India's total of 240 in 43 overs, securing their sixth World Cup title.

In a video shared by the BCCI, Suryakumar expressed the collective disappointment within the team. He highlighted the incredible support received from fans in India and abroad, emphasizing the transient nature of sports and its valuable lessons in resilience and moving forward in life.

In the crucial final on November 19, Indian captain Rohit Sharma deviated from the norm by assigning the new ball to Mohammed Shami instead of Mohammed Siraj, defending a target of 241 against Australia. Although Shami and Jasprit Bumrah managed to claim three wickets collectively, Travis Head's exceptional 137 and Marnus Labuschagne's unbeaten 58 guided Australia to victory.

The stage was all set for an Indian win and plans were put in place, not only for a spectacular and extravagant display off the field, but also for, one gathers, a roadshow arranged after an Indian win.

Labuschagne lauded Cummins for his exceptional spell, highlighting it as one of Cummins' finest days with the ball.

Impressed with Pat Cummins's strategic brilliance in the final, Ashwin highlighted the bowler's masterful tactics, emphasizing Cummins' precise line, strategic field placements, and stump-line bowling.
