After winning the toss, Australia chose to bowl and held Rohit Sharma's team to 240 runs after they were out in 50 overs. Australia won the ICC One-Day International World Cup for the sixth time after getting to 241/4 in 43 overs.

IND vs AUS: Virat Kohli gave his jersey to Glenn Maxwell after the World Cup final 

After Australia defeated India in the World Cup final, Virat Kohli expressed his disappointment. The Australian team's outstanding effort helped them win the match, which was very important, at the Narendra Modi Stadium by a score of six wickets.

Fourth, despite the defeat, Kohli turned in a brilliant performance, amassing the maximum number of runs in the tournament with 765. The Player of the Tournament title was also given to him in recognition. In a show of good sportsmanship, all-rounder Glenn Maxwell of Royal Challengers Bangalore received Kohli's jersey.

Following the match, Kohli and Maxwell had a meaningful hug as a sign of friendship.

Even with Kohli's individual efforts, India was unable to reach 240 runs, a significant amount. The host country's problems were exacerbated when Pat Cummins dismissed Kohli.

Australian batsmen Travis Head (134 runs) and Marnus Labuschagne (58 not out) put on brilliant displays in the chase, making the difficult chase seem easy. Their performances were crucial to Australia's success, which saw them win the World Cup by a commanding 6-wicket margin.

What’s next for Team India?

The Indian Cricket Team will now face Australia in a five-match T20I series beginning November 23, 2023. The team will most likely be announced on Tuesday. It is unlikely to see Virat Kohli in the T20I series as he might take a well-deserved break after the ODI World Cup.
