Australia unveiled the jersey for the upcoming ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 with star allrounder Glenn Maxwell featuring in the kit that incorporates the First Nations design.

The colour of the kit is gold which resonates a bit with their past World Cup jerseys and along with this, it features the First Nations design that will appear on all of Australia's international playing kits.

Australia will be seen in their new kit on October 8 as they kick off their Cricket World Cup campaign against hosts India in Chennai with Pat Cummins leading an experienced 15-player squad seeking to add a historic sixth title to their glorified trophy cabinet.

Virat Kohli impressed both experts and fans with his phenomenal knock to guide Indian cricket team to victory over Australia in their opening match of Cricket World Cup 2023 in Chennai on Sunday. Kohli ended with 85 off 116 deliveries as he stitched together a crucial partnership with KL Rahul to make short work of the 200-run target. However, the star India batter was dominating headlines even before he faced a single ball in the match. During the 33rd over of the Australia innings, the DJ at the Chepauk asked the crowd to cheer for Kohli but the former India skipper instantly turned and pointed at Jasprit Bumrah in a gesture to ask the DJ to cheer for the fast bowler instead. “Virat is asking us to cheer for Bumrah instead,” said the DJ, and the crowd quickly responded by loudly cheering for him.

Cricket World Cup 2023: India Aim For Hiccup Free Outing Against Afghanistan

Navigating their way through some extreme pressure moments in their tournament opener, India will be eyeing a near perfect game against a sprightly Afghanistan in the ODI World Cup in New Delhi on Wednesday. As pointed out by skipper Rohit Sharma, India's biggest challenge over the course of the league stage will be to quickly adapt to the conditions in nine different venues. After a slow and spinning track at Chepauk, a belter of a surface is expected at the Feroz Shah Kotla, where more than 700 runs were plundered in a high-scoring affair between South Africa and Sri Lanka last week.

Cricket World Cup - "If You Don't Show Intent Against...": Anil Kumble Warns Rivals Of This India Star

Former Indian cricket team captain and coach spinner Anil Kumble lauded Ravindra Jadeja for his ball that dismissed Steve Smith in the teams' Cricket World Cup opener on Sunday, saying that the spinner changed his angles well. Ravindra Jadeja's spell of 3/28 was one of the standout performances during India's win over Australia in their Cricket World Cup campaign opener in Chennai on Sunday. He also took the prized wicket of Steve Smith and registered the best figures by an Indian spinner against Australia in a Cricket World Cup match.

First Time Since 1983! Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan Achieve Unwanted Cricket World Cup Record

India were off to a horrible start to the run chase against Australia in their opening match of Cricket World Cup 2023 on Sunday with skipper Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer all losing their wickets without scoring a single run. This was the second instance in Cricket World Cup history that both of India's openers were dismissed for a duck in the same match. Before Kishan and Rohit, the dubious feat was achieved by Krishnamachari Srikkanth and Sunil Gavaskar who were dismissed without disturbing the scorers against Zimbabwe in the 1983 Cricket World Cup. That match is incidentally etched in history books thanks to a stupendous 175-run knock by Kapil Dev that left the cricketing world stunned.
