The night before Australia’s male cricketers stepped into the cauldron of Narendra Modi Stadium for the World Cup final,two crucial meetings took place.
By winning a World Cup in India,the hardest place to do it,Australia have now achieved something the greats of old never did.
Pat Cummins has proven himself a leader for all occasions and all teammates,and he’s only getting better in the job.
There are defining moments in every successful campaign. Australia’s began long before the first ball was bowled and ended with a Travis Head epic.
Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne believed they had missed the World Cup. On Sunday,they guided Australia to triumph.
On his watch,his team now find themselves world champions in both Test and one-day cricket.
Every Australian player made significant contributions to the World Cup win,but some were simply outstanding. See who we thought were the best.
Australia leapt from good to great by snatching the World Cup with a performance equal parts calm,crafty and courageous.
Travis Head’s greatest innings propelled Australia to what may be their finest moment,a World Cup triumph over raging hot favourites India in Ahmedabad.
A weeks-long tournament comes down to this:India versus Australia in the tournament decider.
Being timid is not going to get it done against India in the World Cup final in front of a packed stadium and a billion Indian fans,and Australian captain Pat Cummins knows it.
