India could only put up 240 runs on the board against Australia in the Cricket World Cup final held on Sunday at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium.
The Men in Blue, who remained unbeatable throughout the tournament, looked rather vulnerable in the finals. Indian batters failed to deliver much as the Kangaroos dominated with the ball. KL Rahul was the top scorer for India with 66 runs.
India’s star batsman Virat Kohli made a gritty 54 from 63 deliveries. While skipper Rohit Sharma tried to get the team to a flying start, he could manage to score 47.
Teams:
Australia: Travis Head, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins (captain), Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj
