IND vs AUS Memes: Glenn Maxwell’s pulled shot off Mohammed Siraj on which Maxwell and Marnus Labuschagne ran a couple of runs on the last ball of the 43rd over of their chase in the World Cup 2023 final, sealed the 6th ODI World Cup trophy for Australia, in front of over 120,000 Indian fans at the gigantic Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad.
Despite the stadium being filled with over 120,000 Indian fans, it was stunned into silence as a bunch of Australians roared surrounding Maxwell and Labuschange in the middle.
One of their heroes of the night, Travis Head, has just got out on the penultimate ball of the win. Head smashed 137 runs in 120 balls with 15 fours and 4 sixes in their chase of the target of 241 runs. Marnus Labuschagne played his role as a second-fiddle with his 58* runs in 110 balls. The pair made a match-winning partnership of 192 (215) after Australia were 47/3.
Earlier Pat Cummins had won the toss and elected to bowl first, and his bowlers vindicated his decision. Pat Cummins himself led from the front with sensational figures of 2/34 with wickets of Virat Kohli and Shreya Iyer.
India got off to a brisk start from Rohit Sharma, who scored 47 runs in 31 balls. After that India slipped to 81/3, before Virat Kohli and KL Rahul rebuilt the innings. However, they were slow in their approach in their partnership of 67 (109). Once Kohli was gone for 54, India kept losing wickets at regular intervals. The loss of Rahul for 66 runs was a big dent to India’s innings which then trudged to 240.
India’s drought of an ICC title for 10 years now. This led to a spate of IND vs AUS Memes on Twitter reactions.
Tweets and memes on India’s loss in World Cup 2023 final:
Marnus Labuschagne said: “What we’ve achieved today is unbelievable. It’s the best achievement I’ve ever been part of. India have been the team of the tournament, but you knew if you play your best cricket, you have a chance. Our bowlers were sensational and Travis put on one hell of a display. The way everything has happened is unbelievable. I’m lost for words”
