Father won the World Cup 36 years ago, son Michel beat him in the matter

New Delhi. Winning the World Cup is the biggest dream of any player’s life. This is only possible with the hard work and performance of the entire team. In the World Cup 2023, the Australian team has achieved the honor of becoming the champion by defeating the host India (IND vs AUS) by 6 wickets. The Kangaroo team has become the world champion for the sixth time, before this the team has also become the champion in the World Cup in 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015. The Australian team that has won the World Cup so far has also included a father-son duo.

Interestingly, the son has surpassed the father in this race to become a member of the world champion team. While father Geoff Marsh was a member of the Australian team that won the World Cup in 1987, his son Mitchell Marsh is a member of the 2015 and 2023 World Cup winning Australian team.

‘Had to take a good wicket..’, the Pakistan veteran lamented India’s defeat

Congratulations to Mitch Marsh who joins his father Geoff as World Cup winners. First father son combination to do so. History keeps rewriting itself. #worldcupfinal2023

In the final match played on Sunday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, all-rounder Mitchell did not perform well with bat and ball, but his team managed to win the match by 6 wickets and become champions. Mitchell was also a member of the Australia team that won the World Cup 2015 earlier. Not only Mitchell, his brother Shaun Marsh has also played the World Cup for Australia. Both Mitchell and Shane were members of the Australian team at the World Cup 2019, but Australia’s journey to this WC ended in the semi-finals.

Kapil Dev started getting applause, questions about not being called in the final.

As for Mitchell’s World Cup record, in three World Cups from 2015 to 2023, he has scored 472 runs in 13 matches at an average of 39.33, including two centuries. During this time he has also managed to take seven wickets. Mitchell’s brother Shane played two matches in the 2019 World Cup but did not have much success.
