New Delhi. Team India has faced defeat in the final of ICC World Cup 2023. Australia defeated Team India by 6 wickets in the final of World Cup 2023. Team India had won 10 consecutive matches under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, it was expected that the team would repeat this performance in the final as well. But this could not happen. After this defeat, Rohit has now said that it was like a nightmare for me.
Rohit Sharma said during an interview, “When I woke up the next day of the World Cup final, I did not understand what had happened the previous night. I was talking to my wife and told her what had happened the previous night. It was a nightmare, wasn't it? It took me 2-3 days to understand that we had really lost. We would have to wait for four years for a second chance.”
In the final played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Team India batted first and scored 240 runs. In response, Australia also lost 3 wickets for just 47 runs. After this, Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne ensured Australia's victory by making a big partnership of 192 runs for the fourth wicket. After the match, captain Rohit Sharma said that we scored 30 to 40 runs less. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul made a good partnership, but after that wickets kept falling continuously.
Talking about the history of ODI World Cup, 13 seasons have been played so far. Australia has won the most number of titles, 6. It won the title for the first time on Indian soil in 1987. Team India won the World Cup title in 1983 under the captaincy of Kapil Dev and in 2011 under the captaincy of MS Dhoni.
