Key Points
Just ask South Africa, their opposition from the penultimate match..
The feeling that a whole nation was familiar with whenever Sachin Tendulkar walked back to the pavilion early (happened in 2003 final too).PTI..
Travis Head sure caught it when he ran back from the cover, dived, and held on to send the Indian captain Rohit Sharma back in the 10th over in the 2023 final..
Be it the field setting, the rotation of the bowlers, ensuring the pressure was always on India, or ultimately showing all what the quiet of a lakh-plus crowd sounds like (when he bowled Kohli off the proceedings), he was embodying the spirit of a true Aussie skipper..
At the cover, on the boundary; wherever the hosts hit there was an Australian present.. If Australians were the lesson in what to do in a World Cup final, the Indians showed all what not to do in a World Cup final..
