AHMEDABAD, India: Australia are adamant they will be “ready for anything” India throw at them in the Cricket World Cup final after controversy hit the tournament in a “pitch switch” row.
The Indian men's cricket team will take on Australia in the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in front of a packed Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, November 19. Australia will seek to claim a record sixth World Cup crown on Sunday while India will look for their third title. Here's a look at the records that could be broken when the two cricket giants meet at the world's biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.
Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma's pre-match press conference ahead of the Cricket World Cup 2023 final against Australia was interrupted by a phone ring and his reaction has already gone viral on social media. Rohit was in the middle of his answer when a phone started ringing and he was visibly irritated by the interruption. "Kya yaar phone band rakho yaar(Please keep your phone switched off)," he quickly quipped. The Indian cricket team are currently unbeaten in the competition and will look to clinch their third ODI Cricket World Cup title when they face Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma had a clear answer about playing the Cricket World Cup 2023 final against Australia on a 'used' pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The pitch which will be used for the summit clash was last used during India's game against Pakistan - a match that the Rohit Sharma-led side won comprehensively. During the pre-match press conference, Rohit was asked about the surface and he answered that although the pitch was 'a lot drier' against Pakistan, it now has a bit of grass. However, he was quick to point out that the toss will not play a major role in the match.
Inspecting the pitch before a match is routine but clicking pictures of the track, for possible dressing room discussion and strategy building, is a bit unusual. That's exactly what happened this morning when Australia skipper Pat Cummins came to have a look at the 22-yard-strip which will be used for the World Cup title clash between India and Australia on Sunday. Probably the pitch is playing on Australians' mind before the big match. Cummins was guarded in his response when asked about his assessment of the pitch, which has already been used for the marquee India-Pakistan match.
Days after Virat Kohli reached the milestone of 50 ODI centuries, former Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal said that Babar Azam could break the star Indian player's record. Speaking on a Pakistani news channel 'ARY News', Akmal said that only the top three batters can break the record of 50 ODI centuries and added that Babar could do it. The former Pakistan player added that Indian opener Shubman Gill can also chase the record of 50 ODI centuries.
Australia captain Pat Cummins is hoping to silence over 100,000 India fans as his side take on the all-conquering hosts in a tantalising World Cup final.
"Fall seven times, stand up eight." That was the reaction from the Pakistan FF social media team after the players went down fighting in their World Cup qualifier against Saudi Arabia and that same mantra certainly rings true for their Manchester United-schooled No.7.
