New Delhi. After 44 days and 47 matches, the winning team of the World Cup (World Cup 2023) has been announced. The title battle between India and Australia (IND vs AUS final) proved to be one-sided. Australia won the toss and decided to bowl first. Captain Rohit Sharma scored 47 runs from the Indian team and gave the team a great start. But after the fall of the hitman’s wicket, except for Virat, the top order fell apart like a pack of cards. After which there was a slowdown in runs.

Opener Shubman Gill could not even cross double figures. Apart from this, Shreyas Iyer, who scored a century in the last match, also failed to live up to expectations. Iyer returned to the pavilion after scoring just 4 runs. However, Virat Kohli played an innings of 54 runs off 63 balls, after which KL Rahul took the team to a fighting score. Rahul played a slow innings of 66 off 107 balls which included only one four. This innings saw the Blue Army somehow reach the mark of 240 runs and the entire responsibility fell on the shoulders of the lethal bowling attack of the Indian team.

He executed a match winning innings of 130 runs off 120 balls. At the other end, Marnus Labuschenne put Team India in trouble with his smart innings.
