India’s dream of winning their third World Cup title was shattered by Australia who beat them by six wickets in the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. After being put in to bat first, India posted a below-par total of 240 in their allotted 50 overs. In reply, Australia comfortably chased down the target in 43 overs courtesy of a splendid hundred by Travis Head (137 off 120) and clinched their sixth World Cup title.
“It’s a double-edged sword. But I have always said this, the most courageous team will go on to win the World Cup. I can understand that you need time to build a partnership but 11 to 40 overs is a very, very long time. Someone should have taken that risk,” Gambhir told Sportskeeda.
Further speaking ahead, Gambhir opined that KL Rahul should’ve been more aggressive during his partnership with Virat Kohli where the duo put on 67 runs off 109 balls for the fourth wicket.
