When the reporter asked Pat Cummins, what would be the last moment you would think about on your death bed? Pat replied, ‘I think I was definitely very excited after seeing Virat Kohli’s wicket and then we were in trouble after that wicket. Steve Smith says, ‘Boys, listen to the crowd for a second. And we enjoyed that moment. It was as quiet as a library. There were one lakh Indians there and there was terrible peace. I will enjoy that moment for a long time.
Cummins took two wickets for 34 runs in the final, one of which was Kohli’s wicket. India was stuck in the middle after 3 wickets fell for 81 runs. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul showed terrible lethargy in the middle overs. Despite scoring half-centuries, both the batsmen went into a shell. Probably expecting Suryakumar Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja to hit big shots. Kohli was finally clean bowled by Cummins’ slow cutter ball.
India were eventually bowled out for 240 runs later with three Australian wickets for 47 runs, but a century from Travis Head took India out of the match. Batting became much easier in the second innings. The Indian team had reached the World Cup final by winning 10 consecutive matches. In such a situation, Australia defeated them and showed how Kangaroo is a big tournament team.
