Rohit Sharma's all-conquering India are hungry for the elusive piece of silverware. Standing in their way is a steely Australian outfit rich with pedigree. Who will seize the moment today?
AHMEDABAD: For cricket fans who followed the sport in the era between 1995 to 2007, Australia were the benchmark of cricketing excellence. With the way Rohit-Sharma’s India have turned up in the 2023 World Cup, though, winning 10 games on the bounce en route to the title clash, will it be fair to say they have acquired an aura similar to the Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting-led Australian teams of that time?
However, while India’s cupboard has been rich with cash, it has been bare in terms of ICC silverware. That is what Rohit’s boys, who lost the World Test Championship final to Pat Cummins-led Australia at the Oval in June, will look to try and change.
