The Cricket World Cup 2023 last saw the tables turn as the Indian cricket crew, unbeaten in 10 matches in the competition, experienced a loss because of Australia, a group they had proactively beaten once in the association stage. India were promoted as the top choices to go all the way in the competition, end their 12-year stand by of bringing home an ODI World Cup championship. However, it was the Australian group that arose victorious. Discussing the outcome, previous Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir, said that the best group really proceeded to win the World Cup, as opposed to the assertions a few different specialists have been making.
Many accept that the Indian group was the best side in the competition however a singular loss in the last kept them from bringing home the championship. Gambhir, in any case, has to strongly disagree.
“A many individuals probably won’t care for it. I heard a portion of the specialists saying that the best group has not proceeded to win the World Cup. That is in no way, shape or form valid. That is one of the peculiar explanations that I have heard. In reality the best group has won the World Cup. Can we just be real,” he said in a visit on Sportskeeda.
“India won 10 matches and were in excellent structure, so they were top choices. Be that as it may, Australia had likewise dominated eight matches straight subsequent to losing the initial two. Unquestionably the best group wins the World Cup. You can’t characterize it that way – that India won 10 matches however played one unfortunate game. The fact of the matter is the semi-last and the last were the knockout matches. It didn’t make any difference whether you completed first or fourth [in the association stage],” he made sense of.
Australia, in contrast with India, won 7 of their 9 matches in the association phase of the World Cup. They crushed South Africa thoroughly in the semi-last to book the last billet.
“It is not difficult to win six out of eight association matches. Winning two out of two when you realize any misstep can cost you is troublesome. We should acknowledge that the best group has proceeded to win the World Cup. India didn’t play well, we should not take off from the real world,” Gambhir finished up.
