AHMEDABAD, India: India played the tournament's best cricket for nearly six weeks but it was the familiar sight of Australia celebrating with the trophy as fireworks exploded overhead when the 13th edition of the World Cup came to a close on Sunday (Nov 19).
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. Australia defeated India by six wickets to claim a record-extending sixth World Cup title resulting in massive heartbreak for the Rohit Sharma-led side which was unbeaten ahead of the final match on Sunday. In a picture that has gone viral on social media, Marsh can be seen sitting on the sofa while resting his foot on the World Cup trophy. The social media users were not happy with the act and they expressed their disappointment.
Steve Smith made a huge mistake by not taking a crucial review despite being not-out during the Cricket World Cup 2023 final between India and Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. During the seventh over of the Australian innings, a slower delivery from Jasprit Bumrah crashed into Smith's pads and the entire India team went up in appeal. The umpire gave him out and although Smith was a bit interested, he was advised by Travis Head to not go for a review. However, replays showed that the impact of the ball was outside the off-stump and the decision would have been reversed.
As Australia took on the Indian team in the final of the Cricket World Cup 2023, their battle wasn't just limited to nullifying the hosts' batters and bowlers but also the crowd.

In fact, several social media users called out the crowd's silence in the match, accusing them of disrespecting the Australian team as well as match officials.
