Team India has the chance to create history in Ahmedabad
The Indian cricket team has a golden chance of creating history by defeating Australia in the ODI World Cup 2023 final. The ‘Men in Blue’ have not won an ICC title in the last ten years and they have the best chance to end the drought at home. Secondly, Team India is playing against Australia in a 50-over World Cup final after a gap of 20 years. The Indian team lost the match by 125 runs courtesy of an unbeaten 140-run knock by the Australian captain Ricky Ponting and now they can avenge the loss at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Rohit Sharma can also add his name to the last of great Indian captains such as MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev, if he is able to win the ODI World Cup for India after 12 years.
