🏏 ICC World Cup 2023: Grand Finale : India vs Australia 🏏Thread #3 - Page 20

Pat Cummins | Australian skipper: I think we saved our best for last. We have been batting first pretty much for whole tournament and we thought it is a good night to chase down the target. Didn't really spin as much as we thought either. The boys were fantastic, we got an ageing side and still everyone is throwing themselves on the field. We thought 300 might have been tough but achievable on that wicket, really chuffed with 240. Magnificent. Marnus with a cool head and Travis does what he does on the biggest stage, showed a lot of character. The selectors have backed him in and it is a big risk that we took and it paid off. I was pretty happy throughout the bowling innings. You look around and it is a special moment no matter whatever happened tonight. You gotta go and win the World Cup, you can't wait for it to happen. This year will be remembered for a long, long time and we had a lot of success over the winter and this one peaks it all. At the top of the mountain.

Ghanta dono sudhere nahi hain.

Smith and Warner calm down after the ban and Warner got the trick to be Indian fans fav.

Not to forget same Rohit and Indian team defended them when the crowd boo-ed them

They knew they can easily chase it calmly.

After IPL started also all foreign players are polite with Indian team and fans as they know they need to come back and play here.

And player relations also have improved.

The 'panautis' like SOME film stars and SOME politicians SHOULD BE STRICTLY BANNED INDEFINITELY from attending the cricket matches.

Rohit's wicket itself was the turning point of the game.

I think he also realised it , immediately.

That's why he walked back to the pavilion so so slowly 😢😢😢

He could've play slowly

When one was already down. And he got 10 runs in two balls.. There was no need to hit again
