Virat Kohli added another major milestone to his already illustrious career as he broke Sachin Tendulkar's stunning record during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match between India and Australia in Chennai on Sunday. Kohli scored a gritty half-century to guide India to victory and in the process, became the highest run-scorer for the Indian cricket team in ICC limited-over tournaments (World Cup, T20 World Cup, and Champions Trophy). The record previously belonged to Tendulkar who scored 2718 runs in 58 appearances. On the other hand, Kohli now has 2785 runs in 64 appearances.
KL Rahul missed out narrowly on a century but was able to guide India to a win over Australia in their opening match of the Cricket World Cup 2023 on Sunday. Rahul remained unbeaten on 97 off 115 deliveries and he was the one who slammed the winning runs for his side. However, his reaction after winning the final six of the game has gone viral on social media. India were in deep trouble during their 200-run chase as skipper Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer, and Ishan Kishan were all dismissed without scoring a single run. Rahul stitched together a brilliant partnership with Kohli as both the batters scored half-centuries and India were able to win the game comfortably in the end.
India lost three wickets including skipper Rohit Sharma for a duck inside two overs as they chased a winning target of 200 to beat Australia in a key Cricket World Cup 2023 clash in Chennai on Sunday.

Josh Hazlewood then struck twice in one over to remove Rohit LBW on an incoming delivery and then Shreyas Iyer caught at covers also for nought to silence the home crowd.
Daniel Jarvis, also known as Jarvo 69, is a notorious prankster who has gained a reputation for invading cricket pitches around the world and he made an appearance during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match between India and Australia in Chennai on Sunday. In pictures going viral on social media, Jarvo can be seen inside the field and India star Virat Kohli escorted him out. There were also pictures of India wicket-keeper KL Rahul gesturing at Jarvo to leave the pitch in order to start the match.

Absence of a global silverware in the cabinet always gives one a sense of emptiness, no matter how deified you are as a player. Sachin Tendulkar felt that hollowness till the 2011 triumph happened, Lionel Messi had to wait for his piece of glory till 2022. Rohit Sharma too is a champion player, but his craving for a 50-over ICC title is quite evident when he termed this World Cup as an “unfinished business” for him. Rohit has won two ICC events – 2007 T20 World Cup and 2013 ICC Champions Trophy but everyone knows that in cricket, the real deal is the 50-over World Cup.
Shubman Gill was ruled out of the Indian cricket team's opening match at the Cricket World Cup 2023 against Australia due to illness and wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan replaced him in the playing XI on Sunday.

During the toss, Rohit said that they wait till the last minute for Gill's fitness report but it will be Ishan who will open the batting with him on Sunday.
