Australia defeated India in the final of the ODI World Cup 2023, at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. The Men in Blue performed brilliantly throughout the tournament winning 10 matches in a row. The one loss in the final does not show the real character of the team as they played a good brand of fearless cricket in the tournament. Rohit Sharma's side was the most formidable in the competition.
Former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq took a dig at the Indian cricket team after their loss in the Cricket World Cup 2023 final. He was asked about the World Cup final and Razzaq went on to criticise the two-time world champions as they misutilised the home conditions and he believed that India's win would have been a sad thing in cricketing history.
The former player was involved in a controversy after he commented about star actress Aishwarya Rai Bachan. He was lashed out by the fans and later he apologised for bringing in the reference to the Bollywood superstar in the TV show.
Agar sahi baat kare toh aaj cricket jeeti hai: Abdul Razzaq
Razzaq said on Pakistani TV show, "Agar sahi baat kare toh aaj cricket jeeti hai. Aap conditions ko apni taraf utilise karke, ye kabhi bhi nahi aisa hota. Agar aaj India jeet jaati toh fir cricket jo hai naa vo India ki taraf ho jaati. Cricket ne bataya ki mai vo cricket hu jo brave hote hai, jo strong hote hai mentally, effort krte hai, jaan maarte hai, mai unke saath hu."
"Khushi iss cheej ki hai aaj ki agar India jeet jaati na to hume bahut jyada afsos hota iss sense mei ki vo conditions ko utilise kar rahi thi. Kuch na kuch toh hai conditions mei. Bilkul fair pitches honi chahiye, bilkul fair atmosphere hona chahiye, ki dono teams ke liye balance hona chahiye. Aaj bhi India ne advantage liya, agar Kohli 100 kar jaate toh India ye World Cup jeet jaati."
The Men in Blue will face the Kangaroos in the 5-match T20I series and the first match will be held at the Dr. Y.S. Rajashekar Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam. Suryakumar Yadav will be leading the side for the first time.
