Nothing more satisfying than silencing 1.3 lakh people: Australia captain Cummins on Ahmedabad crowd for WC final..

Australia captain Pat Cummins said they are more than ready to take up the challenge of facing India in front o of 1.3 lakh people in the World Cup final...

India, in their prime form, Australia's biggest challenge in the World Cup 2023 final would be to tackle the expected 1.3 lakh crowd at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad..

The world's largest cricket stadium is expected to be full for the big final on Sunday and when it's even close to full as it was during the group-stage match against Pakistan last month, it is one of the most daunting places to play cricket against India. 1 lakh 30 thousand people, mostly in blue, cheering every move of Virat Kohli or every step of Jasprit Bumrah is a nightmarish thought for any opposition and if it's as big as the World Cup final then it gets doubly difficult.P)..

The stakes for Sunday's match of course will be much higher and the number of people far greater than any other cricket stadium in the world, but Australia captain Pat Cummins said they are more than ready to take up the challenge..
