In the aftermath of the World Cup final, Prime Minister Narendra Modi commended the Indian cricket team for their remarkable talent and unwavering determination throughout the tournament. Despite India's loss to Australia in the finals, Modi expressed solidarity and pride in the team's spirited performance.
In a post on the social media platform 'X,' the prime minister conveyed his support to Team India, stating, “Dear Team India, your talent and determination throughout the World Cup was noteworthy. You've played with great spirit and brought immense pride to the nation.” Modi, who had traveled to Ahmedabad to witness the final match, assured the team of the nation's enduring support.
In another post on 'X,' he said, “Congratulations to Australia on a magnificent World Cup victory! Theirs was a commendable performance through the tournament, culminating in a splendid triumph. Compliments to Travis Head for his remarkable game today.”
Australia achieved a remarkable feat by successfully chasing 241 runs in just 43 overs, with Travis Head's exceptional innings of 137 off 120 balls playing a pivotal role in their victory. The prime minister's messages reflect the recognition of both teams' efforts and the significance of their contributions to the tournament, emphasizing the positive spirit of sportsmanship that unites nations even in the face of competition.
Australia's impressive run in the ODI World Cup continued as they snapped India's 10-match-long winning streak to claim their record-sixth World Cup title by defeating the Men in Blue by six wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, November 19.
Travis Head (137 off 120 balls) was awarded the Player of the Match (POTM) as the southpaw played a magnificent knock under pressure during the run chase and took his side over the line.
Chasing, a mediocre total of 241 runs to win, the Kangaroos got off to a jittery start as David Warner (7 off 3 balls), Mitchell Marsh (15 off 15 balls) and Steven Smith (4 off 9 balls) got out inside the first seven overs.
Warner was the first one to depart as India's captain Rohit Sharma's gamble of bringing Mohammed Shami ahead of Mohammed Siraj to bowl with the new ball paid dividends. Warner paid the price of fishing outside of the off-stump and was caught by Virat Kohli at first slip. He was followed by Marsh but Australia suffered the biggest setback after losing Smith in the seventh over.
