With ODI World Cup done and dusted, the focus now shifts to other two formats and the major discussion will be around Rohit Sharma's future in white-ball cricket. Interestingly, it remains to be seen if he will make a comeback in the shortest format with World Cup to be played next year.

The Indian players were inconsolable after a heartbreaking loss to Australia in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup final and Prime Minister Narendra Modi went to comfort them in the dressing room. The video shows that all the players and the head coach Rahul Dravid all were dejected.

Rohit Sharma walked off the field pretty quickly after shaking hands with his teammates and opposition. He looked emotional and seemed to have controlled his tears until then before coming out for the presentation later. But with age not on his side, will he step down as India captain?

IND vs AUS: The Indian players including Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Siraj were seen breaking down after Australia edged past India in the final of World Cup 2023. The Aussies lifted their 6th World title, denying India a shot at their third World Cup glory.

"Rohit has been an exceptional leader, always committed to planning and gave personal time and energy to this campaign. Obviously, there is disappointment, but this team has given a lot of joy in the past couple of months," Dravid said.

India's star batter Virat Kohli claims the Player of the Tournament award ahead of Mohammed Shami and Adam Zampa for scoring 765 runs in 11 innings with nine fifty-plus scores at the ICC World Cup 2023.

India famously defended 183 runs against the West Indies in the 1983 World Cup final but no other team registered a win while defending 240 runs of less in the finals of ODI World Cup history.

Rohit Sharma scored quick 47 runs in just 31 balls to give India a sensational start against Australia in the World Cup final at Narendra Modi Stadium and claimed the record for most sixes against an opponent in ODI history.

Rohit Sharma continued his red-hot form by smashing a quickfire 47 runs off just 31 balls in the final and claimed the record for most runs scored by a captain at the ODI World Cup edition. He broke New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson's record set during the 2019 edition.

Team India were put in to bat first in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 final against Australia after skipper Rohit Sharma lost the toss. As Rohit and Virat Kohli featured in the final, the duo joined an elite list as the Men in Blue eye their third title.

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma is always the reason for a dose of laughter in the press room ahead of every match or post it, but things were serious this time before the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 final. Rohit didn't like a ringing phone during the presser and was quick to express it.

Team India chased in their first five games and batted first in the next five in the ongoing ICC Men's Cricket World Cup and it seems it will stay that way if they win the toss in the final as well. However, history suggests chasing might not be a bad option against Australia on Sunday, November 19.

India have lost 8 of their 13 ODI World Cup encounters against Australia, including the 2003 final and the 2015 semi-final. But the Men in Blue enter the upcoming game as favourites having won all ten matches in this edition, including a thumping win over Australia in their opening match.

"We have been doing this for the past two and a half years. We gave everyone role clarity. This has helped us a lot. All this has helped us so far and hopefully, we will do well in the final too," Rohit Sharma said during the press conference in Ahmedabad.

Tiger 3 actor Salman Khan on Friday at a promotional event of his latest release predicted the name of the team, who will lifting the World Cup in Ahmedabad. Rohit Sharma-led Team India and Pat Cummins' Australia will be locking horns at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.

Tournament hosts India started their World Cup 2023 campaign with a thumping win over five-time champions Australia at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium on October 8 and went on to record ten straight wins to reach the final for the fourth time.

Rohit Sharma has been in great form in the World Cup opening the innings for India. He boasts of a strike-rate of more than 133 in the powerplay overs as well. He has also scored a century against Afghanistan smashing 131 runs. But which record of Williamson can he break?

The veteran batter has led team India to the final of the ICC World Cup 2023 after winning all nine group matches and beating New Zealand in the semifinal. Rohit has contributed 550 runs in 10 innings and has broken various records in the tournament so far.

It will be a repeat of 2003 World Cup final on Sunday (November 19) as India and Australia will lock horns in the summit clash of the ongoing World Cup. Both teams are on a winning run with India winning their last 10 matches, while Australia have won their last 8 matches.

India and Australia clashed against each other in their opening World Cup 2023 match in Chennai and now further heat up the tournament with final showdown in Ahmedabad. Australia famously beat India by 125 runs in the final of the 2003 edition but the latter enter the 2023 final as favourites.
