Team India faced a heart-wrenching six-wicket loss against Australia in the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 as the Pat Cummins-led side continued their domination in world cricket and clinched their sixth title. After being put in to bat first, India were bundled out for a below-par total of 240 in their allotted 50 overs. In reply, Australia chased down the target comfortably in 43 overs courtesy of a magnificent hundred from Travis Head (137 off 120).
“I think it was the kind of pitch which was on the slower side. It was drier than the usual pitch. You know, I would have liked to see a pitch where a lot of scores like 300 plus been scored. That sort of pitch would have helped India more than this kind of pitch where, you know, you bring your opposition in the game,” said Harbhajan on India Today.
“You know where your batters were in such great form. They looked really good throughout the tournament, and they were fantastic and very, very proud of them. The way they play their cricket. I think, a slightly better pitch would help them to perform better than what happened,” said Harbhajan.
