Australia's former Test skipper Tim Paine has praised Pat Cummins for his exemplary leadership and performance with the ball after their triumphant World Cup campaign in India. Cummins led from the front and finished with impressive figures of 2/34 from his 10 overs, picking up the crucial wickets of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer to restrict India to a modest 240. His bold decision to bowl first after winning the toss was hailed by many. Australia then rode on Travis Head (137) and Marnus Labuschagne (58 not out)'s 192-run fourth-wicket stand to beat India by six wickets and lift the coveted trophy for a record-extending sixth time.
Pat Cummins said captaining Australia to World Cup title glory was the "pinnacle in cricket" after his side dashed the dreams of tournament hosts India with a six-wicket win in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The final was a personal triumph for Cummins, whose decision to field first was vindicated as India -- the only previously unbeaten team at the tournament after a run of 10 straight wins -- were held to a modest 240 all out. "That's huge, that's the pinnacle in cricket, winning a World Cup, especially here in India, in front of a crowd like this," he said.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the Team of the Tournament for the Cricket World Cup 2023 and it included six players from the Indian cricket team. India went unbeaten in the competition before losing to Australia in the final. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami were the ones named in the team. Apart from the Indian cricketers, South Africa's Quinton de Kock, New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell, Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell and spinner Adam Zampa along with Sri Lanka fast bowler Dilshan Madushanka were also included.
The Indian cricket team fell at the final hurdle in the Cricket World Cup 2023, losing the final to Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Having gone unbeaten in the tournament until the final, Rohit Sharma's men couldn't pass the final test, as their dream of lifting the trophy remained unfulfilled. The Indian players were understandably dejected after losing the final. But, on the occasion, PM Narendra Modi paid them a visit in the dressing room and tried to motivate the players.
Australian cricket team all-rounder Mitchell Marsh is currently facing a lot of criticism on social media following a viral photo showing him resting his foot on the Cricket World Cup trophy.
